    Default Published but all I see is 'Index of'

    I believe I have read and watched all of the tutorials, which were really helpfull and very simple to understand, but I have clearly missed something somewhere. The website address is http://www.howcan.info although I rather think you will only see the 'Index of' list.

    I have been messing about with this for a week and I really need the help of somebody who knows what they are talking about before I lose the will to live. If any body can help I would be very gratefull.

    Kind regards

    Steve

    You saved your home page as Index it should be index with a small "i" go back and Save the page As index and republish.

    Hi Ed

    I have amended that rather stupid mistake, but still the page does not come into view on the web. How long does it nornmally take between publishing a page and being able to view it on the web?

    Regards

    The page D'son was referring to was this one http://www.howcan.info/Index.html not the ones with the how to in front of the index this page should be http://www.howcan.info/index.html

    Hi

    I have saved the index page by writing in the 'save as' box 'howcan.info-index'. I understand the html gets added automatically when
    the page is published. Likewise, the http://www. also seems to be added as the page is published, leaving just the specific name of the page, is that correct? I tried writing the title of the page as 'howcan.info/index' but it told me that this is invalid. Please help anybody!

    Regards

    Steve

    You just save the page as index nothing else. Forget the howcan.info and the html for now, you only need to use those when you are linking pages. not publishing. This is true for all your pages, if you added the other stuff when you published you willl have to change all the names of those pages as well. Use only lower case, no spaces.

    Try publishing, sometimes that helps.

    I would just like to thank Alien Dude and D'son for their help on the 3rd, I ultimately got a page published (with errors) but then became distracted by business activity going on around me and I have remained busy since then, but a very belated but sincere 'Thank You'
