the index.html file doesn't show, what should I do? Thanks.

[iampiglet]

I just registered this host (today). I've got user, pwd for directadmin, and FTP.

I uploaded index.html file into public_html directory with the permission: 755.

When I access the web site, the browser doesn't show the index.html file I uploaded, but, instead it shows this (see below):

What do I miss to do?
Thank you for your information.


Hey, it worked !
The SSL/TLS-aware Apache webserver was
successfully installed on this website.
If you can see this page, then the people who own this website have just installed the Apache Web server software and the Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) successfully. They now have to add content to this directory and replace this placeholder page, or else point the server at their real content.

ATTENTION!
If you are seeing this page instead of the site you expected, please contact the administrator of the site involved. (Try sending mail to <webmaster@domain>.) Although this site is running the Apache software it almost certainly has no other connection to the Apache Group, so please do not send mail about this site or its contents to the Apache authors. If you do, your message will be ignored.
The Apache online documentation has been included with this distribution.
Especially also read the mod_ssl User Manual carefully.

Your are allowed to use the images below on your SSL-aware Apache Web server.
Thanks for using Apache, mod_ssl and OpenSSL!

Hello,

Are you using a remote dns server?

The page you're seeing is the default apache page. You will see it when you access the server via the server IP, eg: http://1.2.3.4 .. so if your domain resolves to that IP, but apache doesn't not have your domain setup in it's config files, then you'll see that page.

So possibilities are:
1) The domain is resovling to the wrong IP address
2) The domain is not setup in the httpd.conf files (need an admin to check this for you).
- make sure the Include for your user is in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
- make sure the domain is in your user httpd.conf file

JosHost,

To where did you upload the file?

What's the main IP# on the server?

If different, what's the IP# for the new domain?

What's the real domain name?

What's the name of the index file that's not showing?
