Topic: Enabling Apache & PHP

...I used wsftp...

SME ibays contain three folders by default:
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/<ibayname>/files
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/<ibayname>/cgi-bin
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/<ibayname>/html

FTP and Samba access the .../files folder - which is (by design) not available from the web.

Apache uses the files in .../html (and sometimes .../cgi-bin).

If you have only examined your system using "wsftp", you would not be able to see the html or php files in the .../html folder.

You need to download, install, and figure out how to use WinSCP (http://winscp.net/eng/download.php), which uses ssh to connect to your SME server, but then gives you a file manager interface to allow you to easily copy files from windows to the .../html folder (or any other folder) on your SME.

I'd like to thank everyone who had input to my problem. I have literally stumbled across the cause of my initial dilemma.

From reading various pieces of documentation, I made what I thought was the logical assumption that our website would be stored in the "Primary" i-bay. As aervisor once said to me "Assume" made up by an A##, U & me. It turns out the the PHP files I'd been looking for were actually in another i-bay called "newweb".

Now I can set my sights on setting up OpenSISCE on my home server (which requires PHP5), time for lots of reading

Thanks again to everyone
