Web Site FTP/Index Help

olds

Elite Member
I am playing around with a reseller account and building some personal sites.
I have FTP'd the index.html file and the index_files folder. They show up in the FTP program window.
But when I go to the site, the index file is not working or listed in the directory.

Also, what is the .htaccess file? This site didn't have one but all my others automatically populated one.

Thanks.

Are you putting the index file in the public html folder? (Often called public_html or www) Have you tried using the extension .htm instead of .html? (although .html typically works by default but I have seen servers like this before)

htaccess is just a command file that your server may use for apache commands or the like depending upon the server. For example, if you password protect directories, these commands will go in the htaccess file. Many times this file is generated when creating a new account but is just empty.

Does the Apache have read access to the index file?
Yes.
For the index itself, CHMOD is 644
For the index folder, CHMOD is 755
 
I got it. I guess something was corrupt. I re-did the index file and it works now.
