index.html not working?

[craig1]

Howdy,

I just started a new site and it is only available via the IP right now. I'm having problems with the index.html file not working. All I get is this text:

Hey, it worked !
The SSL/TLS-aware Apache webserver was successfully installed on this website.
If you can see this page, then the people who own this website have just installed the Apache Web server software and the Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) successfully. They now have to add content to this directory and replace this placeholder page, or else point the server at their real content.

ATTENTION!
If you are seeing this page instead of the site you expected, please contact the administrator of the site involved. (Try sending mail to <webmaster@domain>.) Although this site is running the Apache software it almost certainly has no other connection to the Apache Group, so please do not send mail about this site or its contents to the Apache authors. If you do, your message will be ignored.

The Apache online documentation has been included with this distribution.
Especially also read the mod_ssl User Manual carefully.

Your are allowed to use the images below on your SSL-aware Apache Web server.
Thanks for using Apache, mod_ssl and OpenSSL!

So my question is - any ideas why it isn't working? I replaced the index.html file and still no dice. Does this only work when the domain name starts working?

a) Make sure there are no other index.??? files in the directory. Sometimes index.php or something will get picked up.

b) Make sure to upload into the /public_html/ directory.

Let me know if you have any more problems with this.

[craig1]

a) check

b) check

still a problem

see for yourself at: http://66.227.64.128/

for what its worth, I also tried installing postnuke and I can't access that directory at all (e.g. http://66.227.64.128/postnuke/)

weird, very weird. Help?

[mattsiegman]

Do you have a v100 account?

If so, your site won't work properly with web browsers until the domain name propogates. FTP will work however.

[craig1]

aha! You nailed it. This is a v100 account. I must have missed that bit in the directions. Thanks!

[mattsiegman]

No problem

http://66.227.64.128/~YOURUSERNAME should work if you want to do some testing, where YOURUSERNAME is the username you use for FTP/CPanel. Depending on how you've set things up, though, your images and links may not work correctly.
