Add index page filenames

You can add new index filenames to your website settings that correspond to your website’s index files.

Note: For more information about index page filenames, see Web server index pages.
  1. Select Edit > Administer Websites (Windows) or Contribute > Administer Websites (Mac OS), and select the website you want to administer from the submenu.

  2. If prompted, enter the Administrator password, and click OK.

    Assigning an administrator to a site and assigning a password for the administrative account are optional. For more information, see Become an administrator of an existing Contribute website.

    The Administer Website dialog box appears.

  3. Select the Web Server category on the left side of the dialog box and click the Index Files tab.

The Index Files panel appears.

  1. Click the Add button.

    The Add or Edit Index Filename dialog box appears.

  2. Enter an index filename and click OK.

    The new index filename appears at the bottom of the list of possible index filenames.

  3. Using the arrow buttons, arrange the index pages in the order that your web server’s configuration specifies. For example, if your web server is configured to use three index pages—index.htm, index2.htm, and 404error.htm—and the primary page is index.htm, the designated order is:

    • index.htm

    • index2.htm

    • 404error.htm

    This is the order in which the web server retrieves and displays the index pages if one or more of the pages are unavailable.

  4. When you have added and ordered the filenames in the Index file list, click Close to exit the Administer Website dialog box and save your changes, or select another category to modify.
