I am not really familiar with web building other than fantastico, wordpress etc. etc.

I have some templates I would like to use on sub domain on some of my sites.


I create the sub domain and upload all the files including the index.

But when I go to the sub domain, the files just show up in a list.


Anybody know where I am going wrong?

yes you need to rename the main page to one of these options or similar depending on what language it's in:

index.htm
index.html
index.php
inedx.asp
index.jsp

Basically you just need one file to be the index. If you still have trouble send me a PM and i will see if i can help out.

My index is named index.html

If it's a flash template the links are probably hard coded and you might need to edit the flv file and recompile the swf
