Hi guys new to this forum. Have been uploading files via Ftp but when I try to view the website all i get is apache 2 test page. Not sure why this is. Any help would be great.

Hello,

A simple solution could be that the holding page has not been deleted.

Look for a page called index.html and delete it. Then just to be sure upload your index page.

Hope this helps.


[ADMIN EDIT] - Thank you for offering advice to this user, however I have removed the link to your website as is it against our T&C. A full list can be found on our [LINK=http://chat.freeola.com/forum_rules.php]rules[/LINK] page

Having spent most of the day trying to upload the site it's doing my head in. I did load into the htdocs folder as well. Could somebody tell me what I've done wrong. I have checked to see that the files have uploaded ok

Hi SwissChris,

It looks a though there is an uppercase 'I' on your index.html page. As Freeola's hosting servers all run Linux, page names are case sensitive causing Index.html to appear as a completely seperate file to index.html.

If you rename the file to be index.html, it should resolve the issue, however you'll also need to update any links from other pages to your home page with the lowercase 'i'.

Hi SwissChris and welcome to the Forums ...

A link to your site would be useful here :¬) Also have you tried 'viewing' your site through a browser?

If this is your VIP site then it seems ok to me. You have 2 .htm files in your htdocs folder but neither of them have any content so you'll just see a blank page.

And you will find them to be most accomodating :¬)

Thanks for your help. This explains the problem a bit better. The fault is not at my end. Will have to get on the phone to freeola in the morning.

Thanks

Welcome to the Forums, chris_wrx,

Not really sure of your problem at the moment yet but others may be along soon to give more positive support but in the mean time, you may find this link 'informative' and laughable :¬) :
