NedWreck Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hi! I'm trying to set up a website for the company I work for. I've: Did several searches on this topic. Googled till I'm blue. Watched every semi-pertinent video I could Got all my files in the Public_Html folder Edited the .htaccess file so that it lists my main html file instead of index.htm Like so: DirectoryIndex TheMoranCanvas2.html Still, all I see is the index.htm stuff when i go to my website. What in the Wide World of Sports am I missing? As ususal, I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this. I'm also sorry for being so dang clueless. Thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Not sure if the htaccess part is correct, but what happens if you delete the index.htm file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Bob The DirectoryIndex entry is correct but I would check the capitalization of the file name. Linux is case sensitive (assuming you're on a Linux box). This is a good reason to use lowercase filenames when publishing a site. If that all checks out, check the log file in cpanel to see what it has to say. Also, try setting up the redirect from within your cpanel and see how you make out. Edited November 29, 2006 by JRKy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Why not just rename TheMoranCanvas2.html to index.htm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NedWreck Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Well. hmmm..... It's up. It runs. I did nothing extra to make it do so. Everything is the same as it was yesterday except that it now works. The pics are all in the wrong place but that's because of something I did wrong or something I neglected to do in Nvu. http://themorancanvas.com So, I'd have to say..... SCORE! Thanks, again!
