hi everyone, i have a silly problem.... i have XOOPS 2.0.6 on my site.... but i was working on another project when i accidently saved index.html on the root....

now i cant get into the site, (exept when i type http://www.mydomain.com/admin)

has anyone got a quick way to restore the missing file.

i'm assuming its a index.html file....



P.S. if i upgrade my XOOPS to a newer version (leaving the DB intact. am i right in thinking i'll have the site back - minus my customisations?...

(i will read thorugh the forums... but i'm panicking so if someone helps me out before i find the solution please reply to this...even if its a pointer to the right plac in this site)


Thanks!!!!

Try deleting or renaming the new index.html file.

Xoops uses an index.php file. Your server is probably configured so that when a directory is accessed, and both index.html and index.php are present, the .html file is used.

thanks for replying to my thread, however, i have checked and currently there is no index file, neither .php or.html

obviously my brain needs some sleep...

i went back intro dream weaver... and saw the history of files used... clicked on the index.php and it brought the page which i then saved to the root of my file space...

panic over! phew! --- i think its time to back up!!
