Re: what am i doing wrong?

try renaming INDEX.HTM to index.html even though .htm should work but I think the caps may be screwing it up. Maybe its a server issue I don't know.. Blah I am such a noob! =)

I note that if I click on the files shown in your directory listing, I get what I would expect to see.

Therefore one must assume that for whatever reason your server is not following the normal rules of looking for a default home page.

Re: what am i doing wrong?

That's odd. You can use .htaccess file to add default pages, though. Just add this to it:

Code: Select all
DirectoryIndex index.html

Re: what am i doing wrong?

Could you have uploaded to the wrong root folder?

Depending on hosts, sometimes it's the www/ folder or html/ folder/
