Website help please

[purr]

I need some website help... I never did this before and its driving me buggy.

Heres my website: www.tinascandlesandgifts.com

I registered the site through www.whois.com and I got a host. Whenever I go to the site from any of the computers at my house I get Sedos Parking site. When I go to it from anyone elses house I get a directory listing of what is on my site.

I tried clearing out my cache, etc.. but it still takes me to the parking page.

It only happens from any computer from my house and if you go to it it'll probably take you to the file listings. Why cant I get the file listings?

This is driving me nuts. Anyone have any ideas?

1. Do you have an internal DNS?

We have an issue like that where is we use the DNS server IP as the preferred DNS, we can't see our own website. But if we use the router IP, we see it.

From your post, it sounds like you have more than one machine. Do you have a router?

[purr]

2. Yes, I have an all in one router/modem from verizon.

How do I fix that? I was thinking it could be something with my router but I couldnt find anything odd on my settings page.

11. Have you tried resetting it in some fashion

to clear any cached addresses it might have

[purr]

13. I can try that now.. I think theres a button in the back to reset..

Ill let you know in a min :)

15. If that doesn't get around the problem

You should be able to reach the site using the IP address instead of the DNS-oriented URL until you can get the (apparent) DNS issue resolved.

16. I reset my router and that still didnt work :/

STUPID SEDO.

This is the ip address they gave me: http://64.62.160.156/

3. I can't find a index.html file at the initial index page

/

Without that you will get the directory listing or other problems...

If you made one and uploaded it, did you check the file attributes?

[purr]

4. I cant upload anything.. All i get is the sedo page.

I uploaded a php script while I was down my moms because that was the only place that I could access the sites controls.

7. You should be able to ftp

into your site. That's the best way to upload your files. And if the rest of your pages aren't php, you may have messed up settings by uploading a script that has no way of running.

5. I got a does not exist error

But if you're getting the directory and not a page, the problem is probably that you don't have an index.htm/html file.

Unless you are running the server from one of your own computers, you have to upload your files. (forgive me if I'm being way too basic) And, in the beginning, it will take anywhere from 2 days to a week for the DNS name server to propagate and get you into the site from your domain name.

Ok, I just got the directory. You DON'T have an index page and that's why you aren't seeing actual content. It needs to be lowercase and either htm or html extension will work but you need to be consistent with your naming. Rename your splash (main) page and you will be fine.

17. This might help...

I have to use Microshaft Windows 2000 at work, and whenever another piece of malware ends up on my PC, he tells me to run a DNS flush:

Click Start, then "run", then enter:

ipconfig /flushdns

I'm not sure what it does exactly, or if it is specific to our LAN. But at least you can try it.
