When you create your own Web site, you may experience some problems after you upload your Web site for the first time. Often these problems are minor and you can easily fix them if you know what to look for. Here are six common issues that occur when you build your Web sites:
1. my site is not displayed at all.
2. I see the list index instead of my Web site.
3. why can't I see my recent changes?
4. Some pages and images are missing after I downloaded them.
5. email, my Web site, FTP, etc everything down.
6. I uploaded my website, but I still see "website coming soon" landing page.
It may take from several hours to full day for the new Web hosting account name change or domain while the migration of different servers. He rarely takes so long and most often your changes will be live in minutes. However, if you are having problems seeing your Web page in the first 24 hours after you use the new Web hosting account, change the domain name or to change the DNS settings, you may have to be patient until the change to take effect.
If you have been able to see your website live and now you can't, or if more than 24 hours since you made any changes, try to use a temporary URL that is included with your installation information. If this link works, but not your domain name, the name of the domain has expired or is not configured on your new Web host.
If you see the list index instead of your Web site, your site may not be present on the page index. The browser will automatically look for index.htm or default.htm (or other file extension) for display. If none of these files is present, the browser displays the index of the list of all files in your public_html folder. To resolve this problem, make sure that your home page called "index" with the appropriate extension.
If correctly called the home page, double check that it is loaded in the appropriate directory. Index page should be placed in the folder public_html. It may not be placed in another folder or in the South if you have a redirect in place.
Sometimes your browser will display the cached version of the page to save loading time of pages. The cached version will now show the latest updates, so you need to refresh the page in your browser. If this doesn't work, try deleting temporary Internet files to force the browser to display the last update.
Sometimes the files may become corrupted when you upload them, or you can skip a file when uploading. If you are missing a file or photo, look in the root directory to double check they are there. If they are there, carefully check the name of a file or image. Some servers are case sensitive, so if the file name includes the letter but the link is lower case, the server does not recognize it.
If all the parts of your Web site suddenly stop working, check the connection to the Internet. If you are able to access other websites on the Internet, try connecting to your page through a proxy server or from another computer. If this works, it is possible that your IP address was blocked. If this happens, contact your Web host to solve this problem. If you are unable to access your Web site with multiple computers, contact technical support for your Web hosting provider for further assistance.
This may be caused by several different problems. If you just uploaded your Web site for the first time, your browser may Recalling cashed version of the page. Try to refresh the page to see the latest version. Another problem is that your homepage is not named correctly. As mentioned above, the browser will attempt to display the index file. If the file is not named correctly, or is in the wrong, your site will not be displayed. Some Web hosts use the index file as a placeholder. You will need to rename this file or delete it, therefore, shows the correct index page.
