Urgent help needed on web site uploading (FTP)

[JFoster]

Okay, I created a web site for a fine arts competition tomorrow and I have to get it up immediately. Here's the deal: I am uploading using a remote FTP server, and the site is all there and works perfectly, except when you type the main site name in; just the site with the .com tag, it brings up an index of the pages on the site. I need it to bring up the first page on the page where an index is at right now. Could someone please instruct me on how this is done?

MANY THANKS,

Justin

Welcome :)

Apache, IIS or Other webserver?

What is your Index file called (usually index.htm)

If it is something different and you are using Apache then create a text file called new.htaccess

Add the code
DirectoryIndex myfile.ext

change myfile.ext to your file such as index.php or home.htm etc.


Upload the file to your root folder and rename it to .htaccess
