General website help required

Hello Peeps,

Just uploaded stuff to my son's bands webspace www.thetruthfullies.com however it doesn't seem to be picking up the index file, so keep getting the hosting page unless you goto www.thetruthfullies.com/index.htm.

I thought if the index file was there it would automatically open it or is there something else I need to do/set up ?

You host is configured to look for index.html and you have index.htm - simply rename index.htm to index.html

Yep seems to be working now.

Cheers.

Phill.

theres usually a fallback search, where index.php will load first, failing that index.html and then index.htm (or possibly vice versa).
I guess some hosts ignore index.htm these days then. It is a grotty 3 letter dos extension anyway!
Wonder what would happen with an index.php5 file?

I'll give it a go at renaming to .html, I did wonder if that was the case.

Any tips on software for Mac for website design ? I want to make my wife's business website look more professional, any tips or advice on this also appreciated.
