So if you try to load a page like index.html
you get the page showing up correctly,

but if you try to load a php page like index.php
you get a completely blank page ?

If this is the case there could be an error on the php page
and you have display_errors set to off. Have in a look in
the php error log to make sure that there are no problems with the php
page.

As for loading files into the database the easiest way is to use
phpmyadmin, do you have that on your hosting setup ?

Check whether PHP is properly configured to handle .php file under APACHE server.

Check php.ini for any settings problems.

If you are using FTP to transfer file, please add permission 644 to .php files.

I would recommend trying a simple php test page (http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/ph...First-Page.htm)

as well you may want to make sure you php module is being loaded or that it is even installed. running "yum list |grep installed |grep php" should show if php is installed on the system. If its missing you will need to install it.

If php is installed you may not be properly loading the php module in your httpd.conf (might also use an include .conf file).
