Question about index.html

dkdanielkli · Jan 3, 2013

I'm trying to update my friend's website with some content but when i go to the website's url (say abc.com) it doesn't say exactly what page it is. When I start surfing in the website and then go back to the main page it says index.html . When i've edited the index.html file it didn't influence the page you go to when you first visit the website.
Help please ?

Sorry, question is not clear. But as I understand the change that you making in Index.htm is not happening in your home page of website.

Please let me know if you are using either Windows or Linux hosting. In Windows to edit home page you may do it in Default.aspx

301 redirect yoursite.com/index.html to yoursite.com.

Check for another index file. Might be using an index.php, but some navigation links still point to index.html.

If you are trying to limit your visitor to root domain instead of index.html then you can easily set 301 redirection of abc.xxx/index.html to abc.xxx/ in your hosting cpanel->Domains Redirects.

Are you having issues with redirection or the title of the page that the web browser shows?

I think he means he wants to edit the main page but its contents are not on 1 file and he doesn't know where they are.

2 options:

Follow the code
Find a small phrase that 's relatively unique and log in the machine via a terminal, go to the directory that the script is in and search for that scring (in linux: grep -H "my phrase" ./* -R | cut -d: -f1)

try using Dreamweaver it updates everything from one place to the next as long as they have a relative path.
