Homepage Malfunction

[Newbie11]

I've recently bought a domain name w/host thru GoDaddy.com. I've FTP the soholaunch into the root directory, and I can use the module to edit the webpage, however when I go to www.mywebpage.com, the site does not come up, if I go to www.mywebsite.com/index, the php module comes up. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

1. Make sure that www.mywebsite.com/index.php brings up the Soho site home page successfully.
2. See if there is an index.html, or index.htm, or default.html, etc., rename them to something else such as index_backup.html, etc. They may take precedence over index.php.

It does not. The new window pops up, but is blank. I have to get to the editor by typing in www.mywebsite.com/pro/sohoadmin/index.php. Is there something in my root that I need to change so that www.mywebpage.com pulls up my actual webpage, not the editor?

It looks like you installed soho in /public_html/pro/ folder instead of in the root directory (public_html).

So how can I fix that. Is it as simple as uploading again in a new folder? I'm not sure how to fix it. Thanks

How was the /pro/ folder created? Soho should be installed in public_html folder.

You might need to add php to your .htaccess file to see php, the default is html. Make or add this to a text file named ".htaccess"

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml .html .htm
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes


hope this helps,
