Copied site defaulting to index.html

Hey all,

I’m having an issue with a site I copied not displaying correctly. This is a legacy site running on 2.10.1; we’re trying to get to a point where we can update which is partially why I’m working to copy this site (it’s to be our new dev site).

Whenever I attempt to view the site it serves up the default “index.html” page located in the /html folder. The site is hosted through MediaTemple, so the index.html file says “SERVER DEFAULT PAGE” with some steps to try that won’t quite work for me. If I try to navigate to a page which should exist, this text pops up: “No input file specified”.

I should note that I have the /html folder of both the old development site and the new development site and, when I switch back to the old folder, the site works as before.

I can access the control panel through the new /system folder, and the old /html works fine with the new /system.

I thought it might have something to do with .htaccess, but I’m not well versed enough in rewrite rules and conditions to know what to change.

If you need more information please let me know, otherwise any ideas are appreciated!

-Edit: I should also probably mention that I am fairly new to both ExpressionEngine and this site, so apologies if anything I mention is inaccurate or not native to the platform.
