How do I get an index page if I don't even know my page's URL? Can someone tell me how to do so?

 

[bigguy]

Why do you not know your pages url ? Have you not made an account yet ?

 

[mysticfirez]

I already have. But, when I go to file manager, it takes me to a page where it says the doc's name and type but doesn't display the correct URL. Please help.

Ok I just got up and I might be a bit slow this morning, lol. Can you explain this ? Your trying to upload a index.html page is that what your trying to do.

I already have. But, when I go to file manager, it takes me to a page where it says the doc's name and type but doesn't display the correct URL. Please help.

Ok. I put my page name as home and saved it under HTML format, so it will go as home.html or home.htm but when I click the link and click "show file" in the file manager under my cpanel it takes me to http://hmvalley.x10hosting.com:2082/frontend/x2/files/showfile.html?dir=/home/hmvalshg&file=home

Help please. How can I make it my homepage and can i add a css file to the file manager?

Put the "home.html" file in the "www" folder or in the "public.html" folder and see what happens.

o.0 When I put it under the "www" folder then access my site, it shows my pagesource instead of displaying the page. Odd.

 

[bigguy]

I see it just fine here http://hmvalley.x10hosting.com/home Do you have that folder passworded ?

 

[mysticfirez]

Passworded? Do you mean permissions? Mine's

[bigguy]

no I mean everytime I go to http://hmvalley.x10hosting.com/home a password box comes up asking for a password.

 

[mysticfirez]

Yes I see that too. How do I stop it? What the difference between placing a file in www and public_html. Please tell as I'm new to this site, although I worked with other hosts before.

 

[bigguy]

If your file is in "www" now try putting it in "public_html" and see what happens

 

[mysticfirez]

How can I do so? Because my home file is already in the "www" folder. When I click on it, it only gives me the option to:

Delete this folder and all files under it
Rename this folder
Change Permissions
Move this folder
Copy this folder

How do I do so?

 

[bigguy]

then click on move file and move it to the folder you want.

 

[mysticfirez]

OK. [Problem resolved] I felt really dumb thinking that I didn't try clicking on the image link. Another question, what is the default home filename? Is it main, index, or home?

 

[unpixelatedgamers]

Index i believe. If you put your 'home.htm' in your 'public_html' folder and rename it as 'index.html' or 'index.htm' then go to your subdomain URL 'Yourdomain.x10hosting.com' your page should show up. Did for me on my account.

 

[mysticfirez]

OK, Thanks. It's working now. But, whats the difference between all the folder names especially the www and public_html ones?
