    Index page not showing

    Hi There,

    This is Eryn. My domain name is www.lynkpromotions.com.

    I've loaded my index pages as index.html and index.bvp since I do not know which one to use. Why aren't the pages automatically html pages ?

    Instead of going to the index page when you go to the url it shows the directory instead. How do I get my index page to show.

    Thanks, and waiting to hear from you,

    Eryn

    Hi Eryn

    Just save your page as index (all lower case) and publish.

    the .bvp is added automatically and when you publish it automatically converts to .html

    Regards

    Darren

      Hello again Darren,

      I've changed the extension 3 times and reloaded without extension and I'm still not seeing the page I've created with BlueVoda on my computer.

      Please advise,
      Thank you
      Eryn

        Might be a silly question but I don't know what you mean by reloading?

        After you have saved the page as index (all in lower case) are you publishing the page by clicking on file (top left of BV page) and clicking on publish?

            I've never used it Eryn

            Are you publishing to Vodahost?

            Bluevoda is a Free builder that will only work when you publish to your Vodahost account.

            Have you signed up to VH?

              I've used the publish option under 'file' - I've copied and pasted the username and password that was sent to me.

              It says the supplied password is incorrect. However, this is the password that I've used to login and to send files through the ftp

              Please advise,
              Thank you
              Eryn

                    Here are the settings I was given. They do work since I can see my files on the server in the public html folder,

                    however, when you go to the url www.lynkpromotions.com all you can see is the directory of files instead of it opening the index page.

                    Thanks.

                      I gathered that..lol

                      You mentioned you copied and pasted your user name and password to the publishing dialogue window. Did you also select the correct serverIP as per your emailed login details?

                          Thanks, you located the problem.

                          But I still do not know why it would not publish with my ftp client. I use that for several different sites.

                          I need the ftp use as I am not always at one computer when editing pages

                          thank you

                            If you are trying to publish and it says your password is incorrect, then I would submit a support ticket. Click customer support (top of this page)

                            The files you see when you preview your site are simply there waiting for you to publish your site, in particular your landing page which you will have saved in BV as index.

                            As soon as you get your password sorted out and then publish, your page(s) will be displayed
