going live

[hawkesley]

I have just finished developing my application and wabt to move to a live state. I have a web domain and a server (windows pc) that I acces over the net. The application is in a folder located in www. At present I access http://'IP address'/'folder name'/ . I notice www on the udrive has a file index.php which I also have in my application. Is it safe to delete this file? I . would then replace the Ip address with my domain name so it would be http://www.'domain name'/'index.php'

I realise there are other steps to running a production environment also. Is there a tutorial available?

thank you

You can safely remove everything in folder www however it is worth keeping the htaccess file.

 

To put servers on-line remember to comment out these lines in htaccess

 

#Order Deny,Allow

#Deny from all

#Allow from 127.0.0.1

 

I would recommend keeping favicon.ico or replacing it with one of your own. Most browsers automatically request it, if not found you get an error in your log file.

 

Tutorials take a look at the Wiki:
