Simple question about index

[Sylvor]

Hi,

I have just uploaded a site and when I view the website url, I just get a list of all the files the site is made of, I do not actually see the index page.

Why is this? What do I need to change?

Thanks,
D

Normally, the browser looks for filenames like "index", "home" or "default".

So make sure your first page is called something like:

"index.html"

Heya Dutch,

Therein lies the problem - the index is called index.htm (

Any other ideas!

I've resolved this, I just made copies of the index page and named them home default.htm - No idea which one is being used but it doesn't matter, I also don't know why this is neccersary, the old site worked finr with index.htm.

Well, maybe your ISP has changed some settings... As long as the problem is solved

You could work out which one is working by making a small change on each one (one at a time) and viewing it through your browser. That will make it simpler in the future to know which to update.
