File Name Problems - how do I change file names

member_leaving
ok, so I got hosted, uploaded my files, and checked it out. it all works fine. But tere is a slight problem with my site. the main file is obviously index.html If I go to my website it shows www.mysite.trap17.com though if I hit the home button I get www.mysite,trap17.com/index.html I know I can change a file name in the file manager but wouldnt that ruin my links? I want to be able to customize the way the page is displayed in the address bar. if anyone know how to do this please let me know. I also have a question about the placement of files. in my code I have a link to an imige that goes something like
QUOTE
img src="logo.gif"

I placed this picture in the images folder and my web pages in the place where they go but my imiges only work if I put the in the same place as my picture, is this because I need my code to say
QUOTE
img src="images/logo.gif"
or is there a diferent way to do this?

This tells the server to look in a folder named images attached to the folder it is presently in, so if your page is coming from the public_html or www folder (same thing), then you need to have the images stored in public_html/images.
And to tell the server that the Initial Page for your site is something different than index.html, there is a way to do that using the .htaccess file. Maybe use the search feature to find a topic about that ...

What do you mean, customize they way the URL displays? Like www.mysite.co.nr or something or mysite.trap17.com? You need to be more specific. As for the logo or images it would be in the following format:

HTML
<img src="images/boat.gif" alt="Big Boat">

Thats a same, you can check out W3 Schools for HTML reference here.

!--Change a File Name--!
If you want to do that, you use the FTP Client or login to Cpanel --> File Manage --> WWW or Public_HTML --> Find the file(s) and click on the name. --> after that a menu will appear in the side view and you can click Rename. And you done.

Hopefully that helped, as for the subdomain name, you need to expand on it, and whats your site link, so I can help you out and stuff.

    Hey guys how's it going! I just had a quick question about changing domain names. My domain

    the credit system and it will give me my own domain for free? Or do I have to buy a domain name from
    godaddy or something and then change it? I really need an answer for this as soon as possible.

    Hi there. I have been trying to upload a zip file only about 2mb to my account through CPanel.
    First I tried uploading it to a new folder in public_ftp. Then i tried to put it in the main part
    of public_ftp. I also tried the same thing in public_html. It shows the file being uploaded, and i
    get 100 %, but alas, when i look in the folders nothing is there. Is there a restriction on .zip
    files? I have had no problems as of yet uploading htm and html pages. Please let me know ASAP.

    all but the first letter of the word, which is capitalized. This is a problem, and although the

    files and the File Manager doesn't delete them. I try uploading updated files over them and it
    doesn't update them, but just keeps the old ones there. It's getting really annoying. And
    when I try deleting stuff from the Trash Can, it never deletes it. Sometime....
