Boy, this sucks! Here am I, a 17+ year IT veteran, and I can’t even get a simple blog going! It would help if I read the directions…Mom always told me to do that when all else failed. For some reason the &*$*!+ comments aren’t being allowed! Good thing that no one is looking!
Later…
After mucho searching, gnashing of teeth, and wailing, I had an “a-ha!” experience and solved my little problem: You don’t want to have an index.html file in the same home directory as index.php — just trust me on this one. The .html version takes over and sabotages the .php. Go ahead, say, Duh! if you want. I can handle it.
