marijnnn 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2005 i'm affraid i don't really understand your question.but if you mean the basic structure of a html file, this is it <html><head><title>replace this by the title you want to apear in the blue bar on top of the browser window</title></head><body>put your html here, like <b>fat</b><i>italic</i><u>underlined</u><br></body></html> save it as index.htmlthen go to your cpanel, file manager, and upload it into the folder www or public html (it's the same thing)go to your site (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ i guess)et voila Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2005 Have you logged into your site yet ? Either login through cPanel and use the File Manager there to upload your file or else BETTER - if you know how to use FTP, login into your account using FTP and dump the file in there.. In either case, make sure the file goes into this folder named - public_html that you'll find pre-created in your account's folder. Just dump the file there.. and oh yeah - you have to name the first page (that is supposed to load) of your site as index.html - apache always looks for the index.html to load as the default first page of your site. Either index.html or index.php - any one of them would do.. but with any other filename, your site won't be accessible...unless you explicitly include the name of that file concat-ed to your URL. Still in the dark - let me know and I'll try explaining in a little simpler way.. All the best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marijnnn 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2005 aha, ok well, with cpanel, -> file mangager, in the public_html folder or open this link with internet explorer after you adjusted it to your username & pw firedoor.astahost.com then open the public_html folder and just drag and drop everything there. or you could get yourself an ftp client which basicly does the same thing. smartftp is a free ftp client (https://www.smartftp.com/) you'll get how it works fast enough, it's really easy. fill out the info and click connect and you can go drag & drop again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

avalon1405241471 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2005 If your index.html page still not updating, you may want to delete the index.html page from your html_public folder and refresh your FTP and upload your latest index.html file. Server has cache as well but by deleting the existing file and refresh your FTP will enable the server to clear the old cache and read the latest file info. It does not happen often, only once in a long while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
