For example, a web server might look for the following index page names (in this order):
index.htm
index2.htm
404error.htm
If there is a page named index.htm, the server sends that page to the browser to be displayed; if
there isn’t such a page, then the server sends index2.htm to the browser. If neither of those index
pages is available, the server sends the 404error.htm page to the browser. Secondary pages such as
these often provide an alternate entrance to the website, or inform the visitor that the website is
unavailable.
Contribute includes a list of popular index page filenames, using most of the popular document
type extensions (.htm, .html, .cfm, .asp, .jsp, .php, and so on). If the index page filename that you
use for your website is listed in the Index files section of the Advanced Sitewide Settings dialog
box (index.cfm for example), then you can most likely ignore this configuration option. If,
however, your index page filenames are not included among those listed in the dialog box, you
must add your index page filenames to the list, and arrange the names in the order in which your
web server is configured to look for them.
For example, if your website uses a Macromedia ColdFusion application server that uses the
document type extension .
cfm
, and the index page for your website uses the filename
main.cfm
,
you need to add the filename main.cfm to the list of index pages in the Advanced Sitewide
Settings dialog box, and list it as the first page Contribute should look for in the website. The
next section explains how to add an index page filename to your Contribute settings.
