Why doesn't my new webpages show in a browser ?
Problem: I've uploaded my website, but when I view in a browser I still see the original version or my welcome page.
If you still see the default holding page after uploading your website, there are a number of possible problems...
- you uploaded to the wrong directory
please make sure web visible content is uploaded to the public_html, wwwroot or httpdocs directory as appropriate.- you left the index.htm(l) holding page in the web directory, so it's showing that still.
you will need to remove the original/default index.htm(l) from the hosting server for it to show your own index file (index.php, index.htm, etc).- the browser has cached the holding page and not asking the server for the new website
press Refresh key/button/toolbar a few times to force it to read from the internet rather than the local hard disk- you are using an ISP which caches the results
complain to your ISP or better yet, change to a decent one that doesnt proxy/cache the pages.
