index file

[Pam]

I just finished designing my first web site using
FrontPage and tried to publish it. Everything went fine
and all pages showed "published" except the index.htm
file which was marked "conflict". My web host isn't
helping, but I know the file is supposed to be named
index.html, so I tried to re-name it. FrontPage won't
let me, and I can't find the answer anywhere. HELP!!

What do you mean it won't let you rename it
It will warn you about renaming, but say ok anyway

Very simple!

Web servers allow websites to run based on a single
starting page file name that is the link to all other
pages in your web. OK. You have two choices. One is hard.
And the other is very easy. Your first choice is to find
out the starting file name that your host has selected to
run websites on. The other choice is to just guest. The
default starting page file name that your host's webserver
is most likely running on are as follow: Index.htm or
Index.html. Default.htm or Default.html. Or even
Default.asp. This is your very easy solution. Let me know
how it goes. ok.

If you visit your web address does it have a 'under construction' type
message from your isp

If so, it could be this is your index.htm or index.html page

you are trying to upload another index page, so you get conflict

Delete the index page off the server, then upload yours

Worked for me last week - although I didn't get the conflict message

Actually, you must have your index page named with the proper name and file
extension used by the host. If it's not the same, deleting the under
construction page won't help.

Need to see what the host requires.
