I successfully uploaded and installed Joomla 1.5 to my domain, and have been managing the default content (articles, section, categories) that came with Joomla.  But before I go off the deep end, I just want to remove the Lunar Pages default page (Welcome to Lunar Pages web hosting...) and publish an articles I created to the front page. Per the Article and Front Page Managers, this article (and now no others) should now be visible on my domain.  But it isn't.

Therefore I am assuming there is some relationship with Joomla and cPanel where I have to publish this file there as well.

NOTE that there were a handful of Joomla articles that previously should have been displayed on the front page as well.  These never displayed either. It's always been the "Welcome to Lunar Pages web hosting..."

Am I getting close?  If so, what in cPanel do I need to use?

I renamed to index.html.old and viola! I'm really not as big a doofus as I sound.  danke herr Mitch!
