Index.aspx file not showing?

Ok, I am NEW at this. I created a site with multiple pages in Expressions Web. I have the files on my host server. When I try and view my site, the hosts default page shows up. I tried renaming index to default.



If I type in www.jeanshub.com/default.aspx I see my code.



I don%26#039;t have any dll files or bin folder. I read in another post that these should exist, but I don%26#039;t have them.



I%26#039;m afraid that I don%26#039;t know enough to get this to work.



Also my host supports frontpage extensions, which I installed, but when I tried to publish through expressions it said that the extensions coudn%26#039;t be found.



I am thoroughly frustrated and defeated at this point.



Index.aspx file not showing?





The problem seems to be the ORDER in which your server reads the default or index page. Most servers are setup to read index.html before or default.html before any .aspx or other extension.



I%26#039;d remove the default hosting page, or at least rename it to index1.html or something of that sort. Then try and load your default.aspx or index.aspx page.



The other solution is to change the .confg file, or use a .htaccess file, but this is probably more than you can handle at this point.
