I need some guidance people.
What Connects A Home Page To The Web Address?
All I get is an index of folders when I type in the web adress (www.xxxx.com) and not my home page.:confused:


PS: Not using Front Page on this one.

Index.html or Index.htm locator at the ISP end

So I just need to make the main or home page named Index.htm?

Thanks for the reply...I got it.:t

Glad to have helped. Yes ISP script will always look for an Index.html or Index.htm. If i cannot find it then a list of your folders is just displayed.

index.php if it supports php

ive never had one that actually looks for "Index.html" always "index.html" for me

you can set your server to look for what-ever file you so desire, it's a list and it simply scans down until it finds one of your files.

Usual suspects are
index.htm
index.html
default.html

index.php
default.php

index.asp
default.asp

Although it does all depend on what mood the server people are in ;) Safe bets are index.html however.


(incidently .htm is a MS html page ;))
