Hey folks,
So I'm in a bit of a pickle. I'm working on an academic project and we registered a new domain with GoDaddy, and they are acting as our web-host using a Linux server. We installed a wiki to the server, but whenever we try to access it we get a 404 error:
The requested URL /wiki/index.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I've been asked to solve the problem, and I'm completely perplexed as to the problem. To me the error is saying "there should be this file called index.php in this directory called wiki." When I use an FTP service to log into the server, such a folder with such a file exists. So as I understand it, there is a problem with finding that folder/file. The domain/server was just set up yesterday. When I FTP in and am at the root directory, there are 3 folders and several files. cgi, stats, and wiki are the three folders present. The files present are an icon image, a php/php5.ini file, gdform and webmailer form.php file, and several .html files (welcome, missing). If type in our web address with the extension to one of those two html files, I still get a 404 error. So for example oursite.project.org/welcome.html still gives a 404 not found. I don't know if that is supposed to happen or not.
I'm completely new to any sort of web administration/work, and it honestly this is supposed to be such a minor thing that has turned into a major problem. We're a very small team and I was delegated this role, so I have to fix it. If anyone could provide any insights it would be super appreciated.
