Home page is not published - strange page which I did not create

[Joy]

I created my site. The home page is named index.htm. When viewing the page
from the published web, it is not my home page. I cleaned all unrelated
pages and unpublished pages from the local computer. Still no change. Any
suggestions?

Thanks for the advice. When I select my home page, there is no page name.
No index, no default, no welcome. the name of the site is
www.purejoyministries.com
this is not the way I want the site to appear. The way the page should look
is www.purejoyministries.com/index.htm If you look at the page this way, it
is the correct display of the site.

Thanks.

Joy

Joy,

When you surf directly to http://www.purejoyministries.com/ you will not see the default document
name, as the server knows which default file to open, this is set by your web host. Your site is
working correctly.

The actual default document being used on your site is default.asp, you can see this by clicking on
your home link.

When you publish your web to server that has the FP extensions, the extensions on the server will
rename your home page to the first name in the default document list (set up by your host), so in
your case index.htm is being renamed to default.asp. If you want this changed to use index.htm, then
you have to have your host move index.htm to be the first name in the default document list for your
account.
