new and need help

[Warhawk]

I have just started creating webpages here and i have no idea what i am doing. When i visit my webpage i get an index and a list of files. i have to click a file to get to the actual webpage. How do i redirect the url directly to that file?

ok , depending how your web server is setup depends which files are viewed and loaded first, most by default are set to open index.html / index.php files first.

ok and i replaced the default index.php/index_html with the page i want, but it still comes up with a list
the only other thing that shows up is the cgi bin, and i have nothing in it and have no use for it. If i deleted that would it go directly to the page?

Are you running a DirectAdmin-based server? If not, then perhaps this isn't the best forum for you to use for help.

Note that even if you have a site hosted on a DirectAdmin-based server, generally you'd be better off asking your hosting company.
