    Hi
    Have FTP an index.html page to new domain www.domain.com
    The index.html page can be viewed at http://www.domain.com/index.html but cannot be viewed at http://www.domain.com
    Instead www.domain.com shows 500 Internal server error

    Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access / on this server.

    Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Apache/1.3.39 Server at www.domain.com Port 80


    I tot after I upload index.html , www.domain.com should automatically show the index.html page.
    Can someone advise how to correct this error? Do I have to change permissions somewhere or htaccess file or what?

    Thanks:D
