M

mccchimney

I made a web site through Front page, but when I published it the first page
that shows is an index page showing all my file. What did I do wrong and how
can I fix this problem?

Please help asap!!!!

You don't have an index.htm or index.html page in the root directory.

So what should I do. The site should not look like that. It should look like
the mccchimney.htm to start. How can I fix it.

Open FP

File | Open Web / Site

now open your local website (the one on your machine)

With Folder List visible on the left column select the mcchimney.htm page,
then Right Click and select; Set as Home Page...this should rename mcchimney
to index.htm or index.html for your apache server - if it doesn't just
rename it from default.htm or default.html to index.html.

You'll get a warning about hyperlinks recalculating...just let it go (yes).

You may want to check with your server publishing instructions whether your
home page should be index.htm or index.html first - it will be one of these
two names for apache...usually.

After you've done that you'll republish.

hth.
