From the file layout, it looks correct, we do recommend you use
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] for includes eg:
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'includes/sidebar.php';
this will make it easier the day when you put things in sub folders,
like /home/sites/migrate/articles and you still want to include those
from /home/sites/migrate/include.

You have an index.html, when apache looks at the file it will think of
it as plain html and just output it as it is, you can easily verify this
by looking at the source code in the browser (right click on the page
and select "View Page Source"), you will see those <?php ?> tags.
The fix is to do a:
mv /home/sites/migrate/index.html /home/sites/migrate/index.php
now apache will use the php engine to parse the file and php engine will
replace the <?php ?> with the content in the files.
Sure there are some people who would say to add html to the AddHandler
for php, but please do not listen to them, you will make your apache/php
to work more and you will not be compliant with most hosting companies,
so when you upload your things to your web hotel you want it to work.
