shared hosting account does not have index.cfm defined as a default page

Thanks for the response Henry. I was able to get the hosting provider to map the default page to index.cfm. Thanks again for the response.

If your hosting server is running apache, you might be able to redefine the default home page in the .htaccess file.

Most ISP's give some limited access to virtual host configuration through .htaccess files. You might want to check with your ISP on this.

Again, if this is apache based hosting, try creating .htaccess file in your home directory and include this line in the file:
DirectoryIndex index.cfm index.html index.htm

Good luck,
Henry

If the host has CF running on that server, its their responsibility to map
the pages correctly.
Call them and give them a stir up!
