/ after URL

gabemcmillan

when I type my web address in and hit enter, a forward slash appears after the url like this www.myaddress.com/ instead of opening up the index.html page. It just sits there and says it does not have a default page. Yet when I type www.myaddress.com/index.html it opens the correct page. Any suggestions how to fix this?

in the Apache conf-file there is a section to define default-pages (i.e. index.html, index.php and so on)

If you're using Apache the line in httpd.conf begins with:

DirectoryIndex

Then you could specify the default page(s) like:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

I found out that my site works fine in Mozille and Firefox, but not in IE. Any reasons why this could happen?

here's your index.html

<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="N=0; URL=http://www.affinityspot.com/index.php">
</head>

try to change to

<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.affinityspot.com/index.php">
</head>

it's nothing to do with apache, it's a relocate script

Thanks for the help, I ended up deleting the html file and leaving the index.php file, it must have been getting confused or something having two index files, or something,. who knows! thanks for the queries though 🙂
