Getting "Index of/" After Uploading with FileZilla

[amauriced]

My site is www.amdevine.com. All my pages and links were checked using the Browse Page feature in Nvu. Everything worked seamlessly, and all the images appeared in Firefox. I uploaded with FileZilla into the public_html file. My homepage is named index.html, and once I click on index.html in the list, I see that all the links work, there just aren't any images. I already listed my URLs under Hotlink in the cp, so BH is not blocking them. I've scoured the KB, and it appears I've followed the advice given to others to this point. So, what am I missing?

Three possibilities.

1. Did the images actually get uploaded?
2. Did the images get uploaded to the right place?
3. Are the names of the files exactly the same as the references to them as Windows isn't case sensitive but Linux is?

Thanks for your reply. The .jpg files are loaded to the public_html file, and are listed alongside the web content files. The file extensions are lowercase, and identical on both sides of the FileZilla display. If it's any help, every blank image "box" displays the name of the image file, sans the extension. The site appears to know they are there, but can't display them. Of course, this all depends on getting past the "Index of/" problem as well.

I really don't think that you have loaded your pages under the public_html folder. Take another look. Also check and see if you have loaded an .htaccess file that is doing an incorrect redirect on your site name and/or sub-domain(s).

Thanks for chiming in. I checked again, and my files reside in 2 places. Under the public_html file and under a www file that is at the same level of the folder tree. I have an .htaccess file listed above my content and image files. However, I have no idea how to determine where it is redirecting. It looks like this in the Remote Site window:

public_html
-----bluquillpublishing (empty subdomain with 3 default files)
tmp
www

In the lower window, there is a default cp folder, the subdomain folder, then the .htaccess file followed by my content and image files.

I viewed a number of FileZilla/Nvu uploading videos on YouTube before uploading. I can't see anything I did that was different. Quite frustrating. I really appreciate the help.

The www and public_html folder are the same. The www is just an alias to the public_html folder. What you see under one, you will see under the other.

Under the public_html folder you should have your primary index.html (or index.php) file IF you want to access your site as http://www.example.com

If you want to access your site as a subdomain, then that subdomain folder will live under the public_html folder and you would access it as http://www.example.com/subdomain or http://www.subdomain.example.com and it would need the index.html or index.php file under it in order to operate correctly (public_html/subdomain/index.html)

You can always rename the .htaccess files to something like .htaccess.save to see if they are the culprits.

Tried that to no avail. I checked the files through Browse Page in Nvu, and by opening them though MyComputer. They look and function perfectly on Firefox. Someone on another thread recommended using BH File Manager as a last resort. Any comments on that before I leave you alone to enjoy your evening? BTW-I'm a big Dan Simmons fans as well.

Just rename Index.html to index.html and it will work.

The servers are case-sensitive and index =/= Index

Take a look at this thread (http://www.bluehostforums.com/showthread.php?t=18503) and see if it sheds any light.

PS - Yeah - Simmons got me hooked on his Ilium/Olympos series. Great author.

Smacks head!!! I didn't see that - great catch.

In Windows Index.html is the same as index.html

In Linux they are different.

OK boys, you're all getting gold stars. I'm up. I'm still have a problem with the images, but the site is up and running. It takes a village! I'll tackle the image issue tomorrow. Thanks to all of you.
