When I go to my web address, I see a "Page Not Available" error. What does this mean?

If you see a "Page Not Available" message when viewing your site, you may need to create an index page.

By default, the page you'll see when you visit your web address is called index.html. If you don't have an index.html file, our servers will look for a file called index.htm. If your web site does not contain either of these files, SiteBuilder will display a warning, and your web site visitors will see an error if they try to visit your web address.

When you signed up for your Web Hosting or Merchant Solutions plan, we created an index.html file for you. Your visitors see this default "Under Construction" page when they go to your domain until you replace it. This file can be replaced with a page you create using a site building tool such as SiteBuilder. If you delete your index.html file and do not replace it with another home page, you will see an error when you visit your web address.

Learn how to get started building your web site.

If you've already created a home page but are not seeing this page at your web address, you may need to rename your page For example, if you named your home page home.html, you should change its name to index.html.

To rename your home page in SiteBuilder:
  1. Locate the file name of the page you would like to rename in the Site Contents pane at the right side of the screen.

  2. Right-click the file.

  3. Select Rename File

    . Selecting Rename File in Yahoo! SiteBuilder's Site Contents pane.
  4. You'll see a box around the file name, which indicates that it's ready to edit. Replace the current name with index.

  5. Select the Enter button on your keyboard or click anywhere in the Site Contents pane to save your changes.

Note: If any other pages in your site refer to the file you have renamed, Yahoo! SiteBuilder will automatically update those pages. You'll be able to confirm any updates in the Update Site? dialog after you rename the page.
