How do you change your main page to another page?<br /><br />For example; If I didn't want to use a page that says index as the main page any more. I googled and failed. <img src="http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> <br />I use a program called "FTP Surfer".<br /><br /><br />Anyone else know how to change it?<br /><br />Thankies <3<!--content-->
If your server is Apache, then you upload a file called ".htaccess" (no file name, just a dot to start)<br /><br />Inside it you put:<br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->DirectoryIndex first-file-to-see.html next-file.cgi somethinelse.php index.htm<!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br /><br />What this tells the server is when someone looks at your domain (or a folder, if you've placed it in there) to load first-file-to-see.html but it's not there, try next-file.cgi... and so style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->
Thanks. I'll give it a try. =D<!--content-->
