Moving them up one level is ROOT and it won't let me do that. Any folder can be /home as long as the conf file points to it htdocs (or www) is the directory that the Apache web server looks for files to serve on your domain by default. This location can be changed to whatever value you want.

I can't move up one level because that is root. I have root and the two folders. I am beginning to think that the problem is that godaddy hasn't released it yet because I can see files for under construction and logo-netsol.gif in the htdocs directory so I am beginning to think it is in

As you know, ftp is for moving files. You should be able to use the web to access your provider, login and use some kind of manager. cPanel is the most common for Linux hosting. Move your files up one level. What do you have to lose? You need one file with the name of index.html Al On Sat, Jul
