do you have an index.html or index.php? remember its case sensitive so cannot be capitalised? other than that, have you made any changes to the .htaccess file? ---

By default, the server looks for `index.html` , `index.htm` or `index.php` file so you may have to rename it to `index.php`. If renaming the index file isn’t an option for you, create a `.htaccess` file in the `htdocs` folder with the following content: ```auto DirectoryIndex index_main.php ``` ---

Thank you for looking into it. I’ve renamed it and due to this i got access to the website. But i’m unable to open genrated pdfs of my project. I dont know the reason. Can you please tell me that can this be the reason (While uploading a folder in htdocs along with files, folder have some files upon which i got prompt that security issues or something so i skipped 2-3 files)? ---

Can you check whether the PDF files are still in the correct folder? If they’re missing, they may have been removed due to exceeding the [10MB individual file size limit](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/why-are-my-files-deleted-after-uploading-them/49310) or a bug in the online file manager that prevented it from being uploaded. This is a known issue, the file manager can sometimes display an FTP quota exceeded/file upload blocked for security error. It’s recommended to use an FTP client like [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client) for uploading multiple files or folders at once: > [@How to upload files with FTP](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/how-to-upload-files-with-ftp/49306): > > The best and most reliable way to upload files is to use FTP. To upload files with FTP, you will need to following: Your FTP username Your FTP password The FTP hostname An FTP client You can find your FTP username, password and hostname in the client area under the FTP Details section.
