Me and sleepy did some testing and it appears it only shows for me which is weird but seems to be ok if it doesnt appear for users.

Dear Munchie

Use this as a last resort to your problem:

First, upload a simple index.htm or index.html file (whichever your extension choosing) and see if that page comes up as a default page. For example, you make a simple index page that says, "it works". You type your www.yourdomain.com and that page shows up. You now at least know that your file directories are intact and works as it should. If not, you may need TRAP17 to "reset" your directory.

*NOTE: as a UNIX based directory listing, whatever or wherever your index is located, the default directory ALWAYS is /public_html. Therefore your parent directory's (where you see /public_html) index file does not affect your webpage display.


Second, (again as a last resort) write a simple java script in your index.htm (.html) file redirecting to index.php. I understand that our server will support index.php as a default page (when no other index files are present--this is the key) but, again use this method as your last resort.


If you have question regarding redirect script, let me (us) know.

Cheers.

    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

  18. File Manager Problems - (3)
    Alright, I figured out the edit html windows need to be refreshed each time opening them for them to
    show the last updates so you don't just work off the old, un-updated version and mess everything
    up (which really should get fixed). The problem that most annoys me though is when I try deleting
    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...
