I have installed and tested PN 7.2.6 within a directory beneath my HTML site. Now I want to wipe out all the HTML site files/directories and have Post Nuke as my main site. Will the index.php automatically appear as my homepage now? Or do I need to do a re-direct to the index.php page?

I know this sounds dumb, but I want to make sure I know what I'm doing before the I mess anything up!

ALSO: Will the move be easy? What is the next step in moving the site out of this directory without losing any information?

assuming the http server is set to recognize index.php as an index...

if this is a professional hosting service that you're using it probably is, if it's a smaller company you might want to send an email to their customer support and ask

if it's a personal webserver with a registered domain you may have to modify the server configuration to serve index.php as a replacement for index.htm when not available... (ie. apache 2.x)

Thank you both for your help. I'll give it a try and move everything out of the directory...you don't win unless you take chances!

And I'm going to contact my hosting provider first, to make sure things will go well. They're not a small company, but it's better to check anyway.

THANX!!

if you want to know if you have index.php working on your provider. make any .html file and rename it to index.php making sure that no index.htm or index.html is in main directory. if your page loads the lonely index.php file. you know that you have acess to making a index.php file your main page instead of index.html or .htm.
