GoDaddy account help

robertm05 · 04-28-2006, 01:50 PM

I have never used GoDaddy before. I am doing some work for a client who is registered there.

I need the domain to point to index2.html instead of the standard index.html

Anyone know how?I looked in the CP and everything...

Put

DirectoryIndex index2.html

in your .htaccess

robertm05 · 04-30-2006, 10:46 PM

put the index2.html file in the .htaccess folder?

No, you need to put the line above in your .htaccess file...
Or even easier, rename the index2.html to index.html or index.htm...

the main issue is that it is not possible in this situation to just rename the html files. If it was that easy it would have already been done.

Make a file called .htaccess in the root directory and put the code in it that Dan mentioned earlier.

I am new as well.
If I rename the htaccess.txt file to .htaccess then I can notopen it with my texteditor anymore. The txt file I can open, but not the .htaccess.
What does one has to watch out for when renaming the file???

Anyone can help ??

Thanks very much

I think this has nothing to do with the domain thing. This is server side thingy.

Yeah the .htaccess file will be able to do this and for an example you can look at phpnuke site.

why are you unable to just rename it to index.htm ?

dongan · 05-03-2006, 06:36 AM

Have u just registered the domain only? or have u purchased hosting?

robertm05 · 05-03-2006, 07:13 AM
