I created my site using Dreamweaver, with my homepage named Index.htm, and was able to display my website on IE. But there was a problem with some of the links in my Index.htm file, so I made the changes in Dreamweaver, deleted the Index.htm from public_html, and copied the new Index.htm to public_html. But now, my site will not display. When I type in my URL, I get the generic bluehost page. I've tried all I can think of - mainly reposting the file & refreshing. Now, I'm thinking that I should maybe delete all my files, and repost the whole site? But before I do that - are there any files that I should not delete from public_html? I see some files - 400.shtml, 401.shtml, etc - that I did not put there. Can I delete those, or are they (or any other files) supposed to remain in the directory? Any suggestions are appreciated!

You need to rename your main page's file "index.html". Linux is case-sensitive and treats Index.html and index.html as two different files. It's looking for index.html as your default file.

Also, be sure to delete the file default.html if it's in your public_html folder.
