DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted March 21, 2011 OK so this is the first time I've ever uploaded a website before. I have all the pages in place but it takes me to a index of / with a list of my web pages rather than the index. I was wondering how to make the home page default when you type in the link not a list... Anyone know? thanks. /edit here i forgot to add the website: http://www.chrisbush.co.uk I want my website to automatically go to index.html. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted March 22, 2011 Most I ever knew was that browsers "just know" to look at index.html and/or .htm and display that as the homepage. Are you looking at the site as a "visitor"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted March 22, 2011 Don't worry, it works now. I dunno what it was, must have been a upload delay or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted March 22, 2011 Refresh was my next answer. now that you posted the site... need page titles the index.html link in your logo and "Home" button has a capital I which 404's for me. A lowercase i works. site looks good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted March 22, 2011 Thanks Fitty, yeah i noticed that last night. i had to upload each object 1 at a time and after almost 150 images i was tired as fuck lol. I should fix it today. Thanks for the help. Overall, what do you think of the layout and design? i tried to keep it simple and easy to navigate whilst making it a self brand which was the point of my project.

If you do you can use a client like FileZilla to upload an entire folder in one click (drag and drop) and just leave it to work in the background. The built in file managers most hosts use are pathetic and useless for most sites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Post-traumatic amnesia 499 Report post Posted March 25, 2011 Dup your site looks awesome! I love the layout and the artwork is amazing. But some of the pictures didn't work when I clicked the thumbnails, maybe they are not uploaded yet. I think you have a future at this. Damn good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted September 23, 2011 I finally had some time to upload my latest work and play with the format of my website. Let me know what you think. It's not that much different to be fair, but i cleaned it up a bit. www.chrisbush.co.uk I have one problem actually. I tried uploading a rar file to my website as a download, but for some reason it wont recognise the format. I'm only using a basic/crappy uploader, would that be the rerason?

cuda 939 Report post Posted September 24, 2011 best thing to do would be using FTP to take care of uploads, I use Filezilla, your websites CP should have instructions on the details needed for a FTP client. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psy 350 Report post Posted September 27, 2011 There's a good plugin for Firefox called FireFTP which is what I use. Either that or just Dreamweaver's built in ability to automatically upload files when you save them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
