Need Help on my Server.. it's not reading my index.php

I'm a new server admin w/ very little experience in administration. I recently got a dedicated server and now i'm trying to set it up. Support is out of reach, so I'm asking for help here.

First there was Apache Test Page, I deleted the welcome.conf, and placed index.php on my /var/www/html/ folder. Now when I go to my website IP address, it's showing:

Index of /
index.php

Isn't it suppose to display what's on my index.php?

Am i missing something here? THanks!

EDIT: IP address is: http://91.215.157.109

 

Modify DirectoryIndex in your config to something like

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

 

Hey tolra, thanks for the tip.. that did it. Now i can start uploading my script.. Thanks!

 

Here's another problem.. my server is not processing the php files. It just displays the content of the file, how do i resolve this?

IP address: http://91.215.157.109/

 

Check the Apache config for something similar to this, if it's not there try adding it and restart Apache. Another way to do it is just placing this line in an .htaccess file in the root web directory for your site so /var/www/html:

 

If the above doesn't work then you have got PHP installed on the server?

 

Check out this thread from a while back, a user was having some of the same issues, and it turned out to be permissions. It can also be that PHP is turned off for that particular folder, since it is the default installation. Check your web servers configuration for that directory.

 

Hello,

The best way for managing your domain is use a server control panel , try cpanel.net , it is a most popular hosting control panel

 

You need to install php and add it according to its handle, dso or cgi, you can google much of manuals and needed info

 

Do you still need help with this?
