Non FS computer problem?

Postby Professor Brensec » Wed Jul 02, 2003 6:41 am

I couldn't find a likely spot to ask this, so I thought 'General' would be as good a place as any.
I thought about the 'Web Sites' catagory, but that seems to be there to tell people about your website.
So, If anyone can help, I would be eternally grateful.

I have built a webpage offline (as I said, non FS related) and I'm at the stage where I want to 'Upload or Publish' to my Server people.
I followed the instructions in their tutorial and instead of showing my Webpage when accessing it via the internet, all I get is this:

It's a list of the 'uploaded' files which make up the page, but why isn't it showing the page instead of this crap.

PS. I have sent an email to the Server people and because of time difference, they won't be answering for another 15 hrs or so.
So I thought my mates at SimV, if they have any expertise in this area, may be able to help me,.

Thank You

I'm not the world's foremost expert on website design. LOL
Most of these free hosts have their own way of doing things which is sometimes difficult to figure out. From your shot it would seem the files are on the host server. My first thought is - are you using the correct URL for your main page?

If it's showing a directory and not going to your webpage, you must not have your homepage webfile named 'index.html'.

Thank you gentlemen, very much.

Due to my 'finnicky' and 'pedantic' nature, I foolishly (in hindsight) renamed the 'index' file 'Home' because that's what I am calling it. Sometimes being so neurotic doesn't pay off..........lol ;D ;D

Thank You.  ;D ;D ;)
