    On yahoo hosting, there is no public_html. Everything is already *in* yahoo's public_html section.

    On common cPanel-configured hosting (such as Bluehost), you have a home directory, in which you also have a public_html folder (and a www alias which points to public_html).

    Inside your public_html folder you'll find all the files that can be accessed via a browser when visiting your site.

    When your account was set up, it probably already contained an index.html file, and/or several others. If you didn't delete those before uploading your own files, then it's very possible that those are taking precedence (ie: the index.html is loading before the index.php gets a chance to be found). In that case, delete the index.html file.

    If that doesn't solve it, you'll need to contact their tech support again to figure out what exactly you're doing wrong.

    You also need to set the proper paths in your configure.php files.

    Or, if you follow the FAQ on moving between servers, then the correct configure.php file contents will be automatically built for you.

    Theres only 2 configure files and I only change the above paths I posted?


    or on the link, as long as I have all backups made, I can do a fresh install on the new serv, basically overwrite all files except whats noted and then I load up my db tables from my old site to where I will have the site running again, but with all old info there, including customers etc.

    What's this site going to sell when it's all set up? Custom Zen Cart sites?

    Only kidding.... stick with it, I think you're getting there. You can only learn by trying.., failing.., studying.... trying again... oh try a reinstall again at 3am..... and lo and behold you get an email from your support ticket to yout hosts and they admit, "WE'RE NOT CLEVER"

    The FAQ is very clear. There's no point in me re-typing it all here again.
