    renaming home page to index

    domain name: hottie 4ever.com

    This is an adult site!

    If offended I understand the lack of help from certain individuals.


    The problem I am having is: site was made with Blue Voda, np there.

    The issue lies with the index page, I have looked and read a few posts but I am still confused with the complete saving as "index".

    I have saved it as .hottie4ever.com/index.html in blue voda.

    The only information that comes up when you type in the url is a complete index of the files on the server?

    Can someone please advise as to the proper procedure.

    Thank you,

    Michael

    Re: renaming home page to index

    It sounds as though you have your account straightened out ....

    so with that in mind

    your main page, your first page, the index page

    Must be saved as

    index

    only that word

    it gets published as that

    and to find it on the internet

    you simply type in your domain name

    only the word index - nothing else

            a few different things to type going on here


            to find your website after you have published your index page you would type in your address bar in your internet explorer, or whatever you use, firefox, what have you .... you would type



            Just like that ....

            to save your page that you made you save it as index and publish it as index ..... this page will then be viewed on the above link


            you are seeing all those files as you called your page index.html .....

            you were not supposed to do that

            only index

            republish your page and you will see the change

                Re: renaming home page to index

                after you have accomplished that

                I would suggest

                You go into your control panel and delete the previous page that you published .... that page that was simply not called index .... otherwise your files and cgi bin will remain on the internet I believe .....

                    I don't know what you mean by saving it in blue voda like that

                    Okay here it is

                    What you create for a webpage in your blue voda web builder is your files, you save them as one simple name

                    your main page save as index ..... to retrieve it on the internet you only type in your url which is http://www.hottie4ever.com

                    nothing else .....

                    That is the main page index is what is saved on your computer only!!! You publish it as index .... you view it as the url which is http://www.hottie4ever.com

                      Re: renaming home page to index

                      I have saved the main page as index, that is what is confusing me, and each time I delete the index file in the file manager prior to putting up the new page after I have made changes? I do understand to use the the hottie4ever.com url to get to the site.

                        Re: renaming home page to index

                        are you publishing in your blue voda web builder?

                        Only one page can be named index

                        save as index
                        publish as index right inside your blue voda web builder
                        and your page should be there ....

                            Think I found the problem, the page url was missing the "E" in hottie,da.

                              your site has many problems. try putting the text on your billing page in a one cell table(1 row, 1 column) with a contrasting background so people can read it...at least. plus this will wrap the text neatly within the cell.
