Reply with quote

hi guys,

i have a strange problem in my website; Whenever i type my website address into my browser( www.top-indian-recipes.com ), the page goes blank; But when i type "index.html" after my webaddress( www.top-indian-recipes.com/index.html ), it works perfectly. I'am losing traffic because of this. I have used dreamweaver for my site. I reuploaded the entire site but to no result.

Please help and thanks....

in this case, I have found that you have both index.php and index.html in your root directory. This messes up the system, since it doesn't know which index is the right one.

Hi -

antipatyc is right, you cannot have both index pages residing in the same folder level (in this case the root level).

You can move yoru blog to a folder - or rename the blog home page - anything to avoid the dup.

Otherwise- it's a nice looking site once you get in to see it! Wink

Thanks guys for your replies. Actually i have my index.php inside a subdirectory called 'blog' within my public_html directory. this blog has been there since i started my website and i had no problems ever since. Will it help if i delete all my files in the public_html directory and reupload all my pages again?

http://www.top-indian-recipes.com/index.php

this file looks to be the culprit -
I would remove the index.php file for now and see if it corrects the problem.

cheers!

Andrea

I would inquire with your hosting company as they may have some insights as to why it's behaving this way.

Hope that helps -

Andrea

I did some snooping and found a way to correct this . I did some editing in the .htaccess file and added this line ;

RedirectMatch temp ^/$http://www.top-indian-recipes.com/index.html

now it works fine, but is this only a temporary solution?
