Thread: Publishing Problem!!

Hi, My name is Suresh V.S.M. Nair (primary email neier12@xs4all.nl). I have just published a website (www.debestevakanties.nl) with Blue Voda. It was registered with a Dutch company and yesterday they "pointed" the name servers towards Blue Voda's servers. Today the URL works but when I enter this domain name in my browser, I see the entire directory named separately as index.html; allin.html and a whole bunch of GIF files. Why is this? Why doesn't the index page just download like its supposed to? Please advise. The links between my pages work fine.

Also, I must have seen this on a tutorial, but how can I delete unwanted html files from my public_html folder?

You guys have a great support system going, so I'm pretty optimistic my problem will be solved soon and my webpage will FINALLY be up.

Also, do I have to submit my page to search engines or will you do this for me?

Thanks
Suresh

Hi Suresh!

Have you named your index page (homepage) correctly?

It should be simply index - ensure that it is in lower case letters only.

When your site is completed, published and you are happy with it, you can submit a support ticket to VH and request their 'one-off' search engine submission.

To delete unwanted pages and files either use the file manager in your control panel or BlueFTP through BLueVoda.

Dear GirlOnTheHill,

Brilliant! I had my index page saved as Index, made the changes and now it works! Thanks so much for your help!!!!

Cheers
Suresh
