    Address to my website

    I never bothered to join these forums but as of today I renewed my license and am pretty sure I upgraded for tech support. I tried to at least and my money went through.

    My site was recently hacked by the "Hacksaw" or whatever they call themselves and it was down for a few days. Which is the reason for my upgrade. My first problem is my address...

    www.pelagicnavigator.com takes you to my index rather than my site. It is the address i advertise with so this is most unfortunate. My site is still running but you need this http://www.pelagicnavigator.com/vbdev/index.php to find it. I have no idea how to fix this. My site is relatively small...just a small group of us that use it to pass the time and share fishing info. I'd like to see more but right now that won't happen.

    Also I have changes I need to make. I need tech support to do this. Is that available with VB?



    Thank you for your input

    1. There's no index.html or index.php under your root. The server does not know what to show. You'll have to upload that. What did you have there before?

    2. It is not good practice securitywise to show the folder content if there is no default file to serve.

      I understand it isn't good. That is why I am here. I don't know how to change it.

      This is what it's supposed to be

        You want this page to be shown?

        Then you'll have to redirect there.

        Create a file index.php with the following content:
        PHP Code:
        <?php
          header
        ("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently"); 
          
        header("Location: http://www.pelagicnavigator.com/vbdev/index.php"); 
        ?>
        Upload it to your root folder.

          Do that from the C-Panel?

              I'm sorry to sound stupid here...but I don't know what FTP is...I have been self teaching myself the forum and learning as I go...kept it fairly simple...but now I am going to have to up the lessons...

                I think you must already be using a FTP-Program. How do you upload files to your server at the moment? How did you upload your vB-files?
