Built my web site, localhost, ubuntu,Xampp, Drupal working perfectly. Signed up with AnHosting to host the site. Needed to get the site from local host to live host.
1) Exported and imported mysql database - no problem
2) copied Drupal to public folder on web site - no problem
3) Changed settings.php - no problem
4) When I clicked on my web domain I am still getting index.html message web site on the way
Here is where things get tricky
I could not understand how www.mydomain.com launches Drupal on the host web site. Started investigating
1) .htaccess
2) index.html or index.php
Found no information that could help me. Lot of information about porting over drupal local host to live host, but these all assume that live host was already working.
It does appear to me that there must be a way to put this on a .pdf where someone can thrash their way through it.
I have a bit of techy knowledge but am now seriously stuck. Can anyone help me with a push in the right direction.
