cannot rename index_files

J

I tried to rename my home index.htm into index.asp so I had this message:
"there are 24 pages that have hyperlinks to this page. Do you want to update
these pages so that the hyperlinks will not be broken?" so I clicked Yes.
Then this error message came: Server error: Cannot rename "index-files" to
"index-files": destination already exists.
And I pressed OK and it didn't rename my home page. Can you help?

index_files is a thicket folder that is "tied" to index.htm. Whatever
you do to index.htm, the same will happen to index_files: renaming
index.htm to anything will result in index_files being renamed. Since
only the extension is changing, an error results.

You could rename index.htm to default.asp. The thicket folder should
rename accordingly, then rename default.asp to index.asp.
