I have uploaded web files (they are all html and picture files only) but when i go in browser i only see āIndex of/ā displayed there.
I have uploaded the same files on another host server, website is working perfectly there.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Rename the main page index.html

Thank you for your suggestion. The main file is already named as index.http.
Could i be that there is no php scrip in my website that is causing it? All files are either http or image files.

Sorry, that was a typo. I meant all files are either html or img.

Since you already have a index.html or index.php in the directory, check if these files are all in lower case. Unix files are case sensitive.
@(continuing from @bigal )
ā¦ and Windows-based Servers arenāt.
That doesnāt really matter much tho, considering that most free hosts are linux hosts.
@sizzlefire
yeah, and only a few of free hosts are Windows-based hosts.

make sure that you have uploaded all files to public html directory.

windows hosting sucksā¦ just putting that out thereā¦
the file is not named index.html/php if you see index of /
there would be some mistake in it
@above me
Unix-based hosts are good, but its file naming (on Unix OS) is case sensitive, so it makes anybody who hate case-sensitive words, are frustating. Iām included with them.
Sorry for my bad English language.
