I have the domain www.vore.org ... How do I fix it so that when someone enters in www.vore.org they see my webiste's main page ? I have no idea. I've been sticking stuff in folders through cPanel but I cannot see any of it. Argh ! Right now my site is at http://home.arkansasusa.com/vore

Thanks !

You need to upload all your files into your public_html folder and in that folder you need to have a page called index.html

The index.html page should be your main page, the page you want be displayed when someone types in your domain name.

That should do if for you Smile

you should put your index.html/php/asp/cfm/whatever extension you use Razz into public_html.

It should be in the list of folders that appears when you connect to your ftp account...

By CPanel im not sure since i dont use file uploader like those but if i remember correctly there should asppear in a frame names of folder that you have.

Click on public_html and upload it there. Should work now Smile?

well.
It looks like you resolved ALMOST all those problems..
Checking out your site.(20:!3 UK time) and it seems to all be runing ok.. Except (Theres always one) Your enterb.jpg image isn't working. Looking at your source code and then checking the images, you have your image called enterB.jpg but the page is looking for EnterB.JPG
Then that would work as well Smile

Hmmm. Weird. I re-pasted the EXACT same code from my original host ( http://home.arkansasusa.com/vore ) and the java woks there. I wonder why it isn't working here ? Any ideas ?

yup
thats an easy one.. lunarpages ( like many servers) are case specific. so your page says EnterB.JPG.. the file(image) has to be EnterB.JPG.. its not .... the file in your folder is EnterB .jpg ( lower case)
So either rename the image to EnterB.JPG (easiest) or alter your code to EnterB.jpg Smile

Actually... Um......    Idea  SUGGEST      ... you alter your pages anyway Vorelord.
Embarassed

Is probably easier and may end up less confusiing in the long run if you make a subdirectory   /images   and put them all in there.  
That way..
a) You know where they all are..
and
b) umm.. ( im sure theres a b).. um.. you know where they are..
Oh yea. makes things a bit neater for you .( particularly if you end up with quite a few.) Smile
Does mean naturally that your pages have to refer to /images/pic.jpg instead of plain old pic.jpg but ... long term.. I think ( dont know about averyone else) its PROBABLY a good idea Smile

yes it's a great idea to structure everything into proper folder (scripts in one. graphics in another. Multimedia in yet another...) It will be much more cleaner in case you ever want to do a redesign of the whole site.


And yes. be careful with lower and upper cases. We're hosted on apache server here. So it's not the same if you type AAA.jpg or AAa.jpg Smile

A good rule of thumb is to just keep everything lower case.

Most Webhosts worth their price are most likely running some form of UNIX server. This means that everything will be case sensitive!

On the topic of organization, even having a sepearete directory for your pages might be useful!

eg:

on my site (jokeawhenever.com) I have:

/awards/
/archive/
/archive/media
/archive/sounds
etc
and each one has its own directories in it to store things.
It also make it easier to update an entire sectino, and you can easily figure out what files you actually are still using after a site revamp, and which ones are just kicking around from the lastversion!

I have been working on rebuilding a site for a customer of mine, and their image dir had about 300 files in it. They use about 50 images for the entire site. Needless to say.. it took me quite a while to get things organized, and up and running!
