Web Hosting Java Server Page
Frustration with web page uploading, newbie. PLEASE HELP!?
This is getting quite tiring and I might as well rip my hair out. I’m pretty sure that I’m making a bigger deal of this than it really is but I haven’t uploaded a web page before. I already have made multiple pages using notepad but I can’t seem to put them on the WWW.
Here’s the deal: As a basic start, I am only uploading my “tester” home page for now. Using FileZilla, I am logged in to my hosting server(hostultra). I have read that I need my home page as “index.html”. What does this mean? Do I need to rename my home page as “index.html” for the browsers to read it correctly or what? I have also seen “public.html” directories. Does this go under the “index.html” directory?
Please, I need to get all the help I can. If you need any other information to give me advice, please ask. I thought web designing was the toughest part(minus java/flash) lol
YES! Your home page must be named index.html or default.html which the server is ready to deliver to a browser upon the call of your domain name. It must be in the public_html or root directory when you upload it. It should have navigational links to all other pages and vice-versa.
RE: “Does this go under the “index.html” directory”
Do not name a directory this. Your index.html file goes as stated above. It must contain the proper DocType and html coding for it to properly function as a web pages.
Images should be in their own folder and all image paths in the image tags should be proper paths to the folder and then image name.
Filezilla should have its Options set to Auto for file uploads as documents and images do not use the same upload method.
