Ok, I signed up with for a vps a few days ago and I'm now just getting around to trying to set my site up. So I created a domain, moved my files over to the httpdocs directory (I'm assuming that's the root folder for the site) and am trying to access the site via the ip address. I currently already have a website (nothingbutchess.com) hosted with godaddy and obviously don't want to just transfer my domain until I can confirm that everything works. Currently, there's a index.php file in the httpdocs directory. However, when I navigate to my site using the ip address, I get the myhosting default page. You can check it out yourself. Default Parallels Plesk Panel Page (http://168.144.48.90/)
I'd like to set everything up, set up the databases, confirm everything is working then go through the process of updating my domain so that it points to myhosting. Then I can get rid of my expensive dedicated host. Anybody know why my index.php file is not showing up? I tried putting a dummy index.html file in the same httpdocs directory. No dice. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
