I would greatly appreciate any help with the following task I'm about
to lay out before everyone. First I'm primarily a Designer in Flash. I
just started meddling in PHP only due to the fact that a clients site
is written in it. I managed to get my .swf and .flv files integrated
properly.
My client wants to transfer their site from a Linux server to another
Linux server. Soley because they realized that they were getting
stiffed by the guy charging them $4,000 a year for 25MB of storage and
5MB per file upload limit. Basically just a different hosting company.
I know there are some files that have to be configured in order for
the "index.php" to work.
My problem is that I don't know what files they are nor do I know how
to configure them. The site currently works where it is now so there
is nothing wrong with the coding. I'm just trying to figure out what
files,and what configurations need to be made in order to do the
switch. There are no databases for this site or complex programming
instructions. The whole site could have been written in html, dhtml
and would have performed the same way.
Is it simply just configuring the .htaccess file and a few others? or
is there something more that I need to know?
Let me know if I'm leaving out any crucial information.
Thanks a bunch

Did you just notice the ".htaccess" word and read no further?
Sure this has to do with PHP.
If its a average host, there would be nothing to change in the webservers config, and it shuold just work.
My advice would be to just try to copy everything over and see what happens.
Some things might cause some trouble:
- check the PHP versions on both servers.
- check security settings on both servers and compare them.
For this, you can either ask both hosting companies, or else figure it out yourself.
Create a single text file containing this:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
put it in the webroot, and call it in a browser.
If you post back the results for both servers here, then I am sure people can exactly tell you what to look out for.
Good luck,
Richard
No, it has nothing to do with PHP. .htaccess is not a php file. What he needs to set up correctly is his Apache configuration.
