I have started making a site on <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.xcalak.info">www.xcalak.info</a><!-- w --> by means of Dreamweaver. When you enter this URL the index page does not appear. In stead the list of files and directories appears. When you then click on index.html the page appears. This happens as well in IE as in NS. When I open the files from the local harddisk they open normally.<br />
Does somebody know what the problem is?<br />
<br />
THX<!--content-->Is that index.html file in inside any directory? It should not be placed inside any directory.<!--content-->Its not a browser problem (IE or Netscape). Sounds like the server is not setup properly. Servers need to have a list a files that will be opened by default when a directory is accessed over the internet. If its an Apache server its in section 2 of the httpd.conf file, looks something like this:<br />
<br />
# DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML<br />
# directory index. Separate multiple entries with spaces.<br />
#<br />
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi<br />
<br />
This can also be controlled more locally via htaccess files, but in general the prewritten html files are listed in the httpd.conf file.<!--content-->I bet it's because you have a capital I in the filename. Try changing it from Index.html to index.html.<!--content-->What is simple problem!!! Indeed the file started with I in stead of i. Now it works!!!!!<br />
<br />
Thanks Torrent!!<!--content-->Sure was a simple problem.Dint notice that
Glad to hear its solved 
<br />
<br />
Good troubleshooting Torrent :thumbup:<!--content-->if that is the case the server config file should be setup better, what a hassle to have to worry about an upper case I in place of a lower case i.<!--content-->
