Still showing the default index page after FTP upload

klo91
Hey, i need a little help. I just got my account. I uploaded the index.html file using an ftp, but when i try going on my page, it still shows the default page. How do i fix this?

You have to make sure that you delete the original index.htm file that was there. I'm not sure but I think it is .htm and when the server looks for an index file it uses the first it finds starting with .htm then to .html and so on. Make sure that the only index file in your folder is the one you uploaded and delete the other one(s).

Edit: Your site seems to be working fine now. I guess you probably figured out the problem or just need to refresh the page.

Yeah i figured it out. Thanks. I realized that you have to upload it into the "/public_html/" directory.

or www directory (which is a mirror of public_html).

Also, clearing your cache is sometimes a good thing to try.

  6. Has There Been A Mistake? - I do not seem to have the default package. (8)
    Hi, I was wondering if there has been a mistake when my webspace was set up. I read that Trap 17
    offers 150 Mb webspace and 5Gb bandwidth per month. Yet, when I go to my control panel I seem to
    have only 20 Mb and 512 Mb bandwidth. That is why I temporarily had to move my site away from
    Trap17 as I ran out of webspace (I have filled 52.2 Mb of webspace so far). Could someone clarify
    this, please? Thanks. ...
