No index.html file so what do I need?

Hi all,

I have disc of site files that I have uploaded for someone.

However there is no index.html and so the site just shows as a default holding page from the web hosts.

Any idea what I need to do here?

Thanks in advance.

 

There could be a file named something like main.htm, main.html, default.htm or default.html. These were common in the Microsoft world a while back. You could try renaming those to index.html and see if that works.

Otherwise, maybe it is an index.php file and your web server isn't configured for it.

 

I agree with boltok, not every home page is named index.html. Sometimes home page would be named main.html, main.php or some other file names.

 

yes...it seems that either index.html file is missing or it is configured with a name like: default.html / main.html

if your file is missing then dont worry....

just make a copy of existing files and name it index.html...this will solve every problems.....but if your file is indeed missing, you may have to change the contents of the new index.html file that u have just made by copying another file....njoy!

 

Just create your own index page, that will solve your problem.
