Web pages do not come up ( When I Type them in the Browser) unless put the page in exactly?

You probably just need to rename your start page to %26#039;index.htm%26#039;. If you%26#039;re using a script language like php or asp, then you%26#039;d need to change it to %26#039;index.asp%26#039; or %26#039;index.php%26#039;.



Brief explanation: The web server is going to take the address you type in, i.e. www.YourDomain.com, and look in the root directory for the startup page. By default this is generally %26#039;index.???%26#039;. Usually, the same applies to subfolders. For example, if %26#039;index.htm%26#039; exists in the directory %26#039;folder1%26#039; under the main html directory on the server, then typing %26#039;www.YourDomain.com/folder1/%26#039; into your browser should result in the index page being loaded and displayed. Hope that helps.
