just a simple question, but I get confused enough

I have a domain (for personal webstite, not PTR site ), and have upload an "index.html" page on it.. but if I type "www.mydomain.com" in my browser, the page is not appear.. I have to type "www.mydomain.com/index.html" to reach the page..

can you tell me what is wrong, or where should I change the setting? Thanks..
Joe

Try changing it to .htm.

Or ask your web host what the default is.

why not submit a support ticket to your webhost?

mm.. what is a support ticket?

thanks,
Joe

PS: Problem is fixed already.. the index is supposed to be .html instead of .htm..
my previous index is .htm

That is a poorly set up server

you can also go into page redirects in cpanel and set the domain url to
automatically forward to your index.php page

yes
should not matter if it index.htm index.html index.php

all should work

thanks all..

so kind of you guys

Joe

usaok:



Your site seems to be dead checked out the link but get a error page............

Forgot to update the link. Changed the domain earlier this week. Should work now.
