Frequently Asked Questions
- I haven't received an e-mail after submitting the request: Please reach out to us by calling 239-590-1188. If possible, provide the time and date that you submitted the request.
- My website is showing up as "Page Cannot Be Displayed" or "404 Not Found": All websites must have an index.html file in the root directory of your folder for the website to display. Otherwise, you need to specify the specific file in the URL.
- I uploaded an index.html file but still can't get the site to load: Make sure you are able to enable file name extensions on any computer you upload files from or else you may not be uploading the right type of files. For example, you may be uploading index.html.html instead of index.html. If this is the case, your URL would be http://student.fgcu.edu/ (YOURUSERID) /index.html.html. You can remove the extra extension once you've enabled file extensions.
- Additional tip: Make sure you are typing the full URL of your site and files or else the website will not load. You must be explicit in your requests. For example, http://student.fgcu.edu/ (YOURUSERID) /FILE.HTML
