having slashes after domain name

[Chooco]

let me give examples to show what i mean
there is a www.techimo.com
there is a www.techimo.com/forum

there is a www.shawnserver.tk
there is NO www.shawnserver.tk/clanard

my folder is setup with an index.html in the clanard folder.
http://66.222.150.188/index.html is www.shawnserver.tk
why isn't http://66.222.150.188/clanard/index.html the same as www.shawnserver.tk/clanard OR www.shawnserver.tk/clanard/index.html?

is it because i got the free domain name instead of the $10 one?

Do you host the files on a webserver? Or are you using virtual webspace?

edit *** gone

[Chooco]

no the default is NOT the clanard folder

the default page is the / folder which happens to be named realdocs but that isn't important....

the page is hosted by me (in my house) but registered with .tk name, the address i told dot.tk to link www.shawnserver.tk is http://66.222.150.188

Ouch, that seems like harsh not. It should not be that way. The default is the default. I was simply trying to find a reason that it would look there. One of those reasons would be registering it with .tk as having the http://66.222.150.88/clanard, since .tk is a referer. In light of the new information I will edit out what I posted earlier.

Just wondering, are you using apache?

[Chooco]

yep it's apache

my site without the domain works fine, check it out:
http://66.222.150.188
http://66.222.150.188/clanard/

see, they work fine without the domain thingy

Oooh, I totally misunderstood what you were saying . Sorry about that. It is strange how it will not move up folders. I have never used .tk.

I just checked, I use dhs.org to refer, and I cannot just use a subfolder either. I have to use http://krohn.dhs.org/folder/index.html

So it is possible that it has something to do with the referers. At least that would be my guess. I am running apache.

[Chooco]

so are you saying i should change the link from the / folder to the i dunno let's say 'default' folder?

www.shawnserver.tk = http://66.222.150.188/default/index.html ?

[krohnjw]

See if you can do that with .tk, if they will allow that. If not you can always jsut write an instant refresh into the meta tag that will forward users there. Then you can work in that folder, and only have index.html in the default folder.

Tk wont do it, i have tired before..


Good idea though is to get another .tk domain and then point that at http://66.222.150.188/clanard/
