Index page issue

[kaykrueger]

Hi all,

I have recently signed up with ISPC for the 25MB web space and email package. I have created an index page and I have deleted all the other files that were on there from ISPC (as I always got directed to the ISPC log in page) and uploaded the file with Filezilla FTP to the server. I named the file "index.htm" but when I visit my webpage, I get the following error:

Not Found
The requested URL / was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8c Server at http://www.backpackertransfers.com Port 80

I am not very IT savvy, but I have uploaded a page before to another server and it worked. Can someone please explain me what is going on (in simple terms please). I just want to get this one page up and running....

Appreciate your help!!

Cheers

Sure ispCP is running on this Server ?
If so, a ispCP 404 Error Page should appear and not a default Apache Page.

Hi BeNe,

Initially when I entered my domain, the ispCP log in Page (similar to: https://ispcp.adminfrontend.de/index.php?logout) was showing. I then deleted all the files that were in the directory via a FTP server. Since then a blank page (Apache? - Not sure what that means) with the text (see my first entry) displays.

I want the error message to disappear and upload my own page. So when you enter my domain that the upoloaded page displays. This currently does not happen and I am not sure why. I used another web space provider some time ago and you only hat to upload a page with the name index.htm and it then displayed as the index page when you entered the domain.

My question is, what I am doing wrong here?
The page I want to upload is a webpage with text and a link only, but it does not seem to work. No other functionality is required.

Appreciate any further help.

Cheers

@BeNe
I think he has the same probleme like me talking about this Index PHP

the page generatet from IspCP works well but when I upload a page with index.php and call the domain I could download the index.php file

A stupid question - but did you enable PHP on this Domain ?

When I call the domain " http://www.mydomain.com/index.php " all is well ..... I can´t call the domain " http://www.mydomain.com "
I know there is something missing. But I don´t know who.

Most Linux servers will only use the following names for their "index" documents:

index.php
index.html

Above, you said you named the file index.htm. The server is probably not set up to recognize that as a valid index document.

When I call the domain " http://www.mydomain.com " and there is a index.html all is well. But when I call " http://www.mydomain.com " and there is only an index.php ( no index.html ) I will be asked to download the index.php

I have now an index.html with

PHP Code:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=index.php">
