   I am sure there is a very simple answer to this question. If I type cockydeals.com/index.php the page loads fine. But if I type just cockydeals.com it opens a blank page? I cannot find the answer anywhere so I assume it is something so incredibly simple that everyone else already knows. Help?

   If you have an index.html file, delete it, or rename it.

   I deleted it. No change. I read online that I need to put this in my .htaccess file.

   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteRule index\.html index.php [NC,R]

   I have GoDaddy hosting. The file is not in my Root folder. So do I have to create a new one? What does it look like?

   If you have php installed on your server, you shouldn’t need a .htaccess file.

   Rename the .htaccess file to something like: xxx.htaccess - see what happens then, you haven’t lost it then - its still safe.

   Be careful about changing the content of your .htaccess file unless you know what you are doing - what I can tell you is some .htaccess configs interfere with php files.

   Well, I just plain didn't have a .htaccess file at all. I found online what to put in one. Here's what I got:

   AddHandler server-parsed .php
   AddHandler server-parsed .php4

   # -FrontPage-

   IndexIgnore .htaccess */.?* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

   <Limit GET POST>
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   allow from all
   </Limit>
   <Limit PUT DELETE>
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   </Limit>
   AuthName http://www.example.com.au
   AuthUserFile /var/chroot/home/content/f/r/e/frenzix1/html/_vti_pvt/servic e.pwd
   AuthGroupFile /var/chroot/home/content/f/r/e/frenzix1/html/_vti_pvt/servic e.grp l>

   I made that file, uploaded it, and now the site actually works! I just hope there is nothing in there that is going to mess up anything else. :-P

   Okay, I just took this junk out and it still works good.
   AuthName http://www.example.com.au
   AuthUserFile /var/chroot/home/content/f/r/e/frenzix1/html/_vti_pvt/servic e.pwd
   AuthGroupFile /var/chroot/home/content/f/r/e/frenzix1/html/_vti_pvt/servic e.grp l>

   All better. :)
