I wonder if the index.html MUST be in the www folder on the server

  • 0

I wonder if the index.html MUST be in the “www” folder on the server after uploading the site?

This because I have actually made everything in a folder called “SV”, so my site is located in : “www/SV/index.html”

My Q is, on the server, could I just create a folder named “SV” under “www” and expect index.html to be automatically displayed ones the users type in the web-adress to my site?

Thanks

    well, if they went to http://www.yoursite.com/SV then it would display. If you don’t want that, you have a few options:

    1. Put an “index.php” file in the “www” directory and have it redirect to the one in the /SV folder.

    2. Change the apache configuration to tell it the site is located in the /SV directory.

    3. Use mod_rewrite rules in your .htaccess file to rewrite URLs so they go to the /SV directory.

    But my first question would be why don’t you just put it in the “www” directory?
