I made my site on a different site/server and then upload to its permanent site/server once done. Its done and now i uploaded content to new site however the links on new site are pointing to the old site i originally had been working on. I deleted all the files from the old server so there is nothing there but it still want to look for that domain. How can i make my new domain the main one and have all my pages link to them.
my new site is: Lava Heat Italia - Attractive & Radiant Outdoor Heaters
if you click on lavaheat it takes you to a blank page displaying this: "No input file specified."

Hello

Your php doesnt have support for virtual links.

Please go in admin -> configuration->global settings and switch the links to use mod_rewrite. You will need to create a .htaccess file as you are advised there

Ok great where will I place the .htaccess?
Will this be the only thing to make my site work?
Thanks

In the root of your site. Yes that seems the only issue from what i can see.

Im not sure i understand how to "switch" the modes on the admin side and how to create a .htaccess file?
Im kind of confused as to how this is done. I apologize im very new at this!

It seems as though i already have a .htaccess file with exactly what it says on the admin > configuration > global settings panel.
Not sure what im supposed to update.
