site stevecambronne.com
I got my guestbook to work, now I have uploaded my whole site. Everthing works except the home page. It will not open under stevecambronne.com but will open under stevecambronne.com/index.html
How do I fix this??? Please?????

I would hazzard a guess to say when you installed your guestbook you installed it onto your root folder instead of making a sub folder. You can try uninstalling your guestbook.

Requires manual uninstall, and not something for the unfamiliar (usually results in wrong files or sub-directories being deleted in error).

TRY to un-install automatically, and if it does not work, Submit a Ticket to request your account be "restored" to last backed up setpoint (before you installed the guestbook).

But my guest book is working, it's my home page that doesn't come up without typing in the /index.html extension.

Because your "main" public_html/ directory can only have a single "index" page, and since your guestbook is php (a dynamic style and the last added) it will "win" the conflict and present first......THAT is why all other blogs, forums, utilities, etc. are always supposed to be published in a separate directory, so there is no conflict of structure (only 1 index page per directory).
