save your main page as index.html.

Reddy

My main page is an html but in dreamweaver when I have to choose a dorument type, html is not an option

myshtern

Alright, I'm pretty sure all of your problems root from your dependancy on Dreamweaver. After you make your design, you just need to copy all of your HTML into notepad documents and save them however the hell you want to save them.

Ok than what?

Reddy

Ok here's where I stand:

-I uploaded all my files to the FTP into the pulic_html file

The main thing is how do I get the pages to display on my domain name?

cberman

dreamweaver is not ur problem most likely.

What's your domain? Is your homepage called index.htm or index.html?

Reddy

I don't see an index or an index.html in my FTP files

check this out i work for these folk so im pretty bad *** at dream weaver setup.

http://ipwhelp.com/index.php?id=20<---dream weaver setup instructions.

when your setting up dream weaver just use that ip address as the host name and the user name and password. dream weaver will proabably want to have you put in for host directory public_html or whatever your folder is with the website in it. make shure what ever is supposed to be the front page is called index.html if dream weaver doesnt do it rename it with smart after you upload the site. Dream weaver can do all the work for you dont need to use smart ftp unless you just want to upload little ---- on the side

go into httpd.conf and search for index.html and change that to main.html or whatever you have your main file called
then when you goto your site (www.whitey.com) it should point to the main.html file

dreamweaver saves them however you want them, save as -> index.html or whatever you want it to be
