I'm a newbie asking a newbie question that I couldn't find on google

[Litbelb]

I just installed OpenLiteSpeed on Vultr, using the One-Click option - that means no commands (the only reason for this is because I have had a terrible experience with installing webservers) anyways, I have the website up, and I have uploaded my HTML pages. Now, I need to figure out how to make the landing page when you type in my URL. Currently, it is just my 404 page - what do I need to do?

Sorry for asking such a newbie question.

Hi @Litbelb,

The default path is "/usr/local/lsws/Example/html", you can see it once you upload pages to the folder.

Let us know if you want to use Wordpress, we can share some other methods.

Best,
Eric

I see. What if I want to change the default page to a .PHP file?

You can replace the default index file with index.php there.

I did that - it didn't work. It just brings me to the 404.

I launched a new server, and replace index.html with index.php, it just works.
Can you run

ls /usr/local/lsws/Example/html

and

cat /usr/local/lsws/Example/html/index.php

 

[Litbelb]

When I run

ls /usr/local/lsws/Example/html

I get a list of all the files and directories, index.php included.
When I run

cat /usr/local/lsws/Example/html/index.php

I get all of the HTML and PHP in the file.
