Your website control panel (like Cpanel) should allow you to create new files. Just create one named ‘.htaccess’. If you don’t see anything that looks like a ‘create new file’ button, ask your webhost how to do it, as they may have their own method of doing so.

I got me site opening at the above home page without any trouble by doing the following After you send your files FTP to your site. All you have to do is rename the “shop.php” File and change it to “index.php ” and that was all I had to do Easy and it works great.
Hope this works for you ..

Thanks

I’m a beginner, but do know how to upload a website into my domain using Filezilla. I tried to upload a trial store into my domain, but just can’t get it right despite trying a zillion times. Nothing seems to be working. And the instructions are soooooo confusing.Can’t they be made simpler for everyone to understand? A video would have been really helpful.

I’ve been trying to upload the store into a subdomain. So which folder do I upload it to?

There is no actual ‘footer’ unless you create a custom file for one. You can also use a custom box set to ‘PB’ for ‘Page Bottom’. The items found at the bottom of the page such as the ‘Powered by’ link etc. can generally be accessed via the ‘Site’ tab of your AOM control panel.

I use ‘DirectoryIndex shop.php’ in all my sites. Never a problem. It’s been suggested that lowercase works better for some servers (GoDaddy, for one), but the user is encouraged to try either version to see which works for them.

Anyone who tries to use “DirectoryIndex shop.php” in the .htaccess file will be disappointed.

The correct text is all lowercase: “directoryindex shop.php”

Versions before V4.2.0 required opening the file and changing the internal self-reference. Beginning with V4.2.0, this step was no longer required. However, the DirectoryIndex shop.php command is still recommended over renaming the shop.php file. There is another post that explains why.
