Setting Up Website

[Hans Montero]

Hi everyone,

I have uploaded all the files for the website I coded to the public_html folder and I have created a .htaccess file with the following line in it: DirectoryIndex index.php

However, when I go to my website, it just shows a blank page.

What do I do?

You are probably getting an error in regards to your PHP script.
Try temporarily enabling 'display errors' or turning on error logging via the 'select PHP version' section of cPanel (the version that is not basic).

Ah I see the error..
It seems I have incorrectly configured PDO in my php code. What exactly should I enter for username and password?

Additionally, I'm having trouble displaying images. What should the image's src be in html if the image I want to reference to is in my public_html folder?

The host has to be 'localhost'. You need to create a MySQL user in cPanel, set up the privileges and hook them up with the database you intend to use.

Additionally, I'm having trouble displaying images. What should the image's src be in html if the image I want to reference to is in my public_html folder?

You can refer to your images by doing something like '/images/this/is/an/example.png' (the more direct way) or by doing 'images/this/is/an/example.png' (if the 'images' directory is in the same directory as the page you are requesting).

Are you using a Content Management System or are you coding something by hand?
What's your URL? Maybe we can visit your site and take a look?

you can try http://myhosting_username.x10host.com/index.php It should run even without the .htaccess file
