Thank you.

If you are referring to the index file that gets created in the /home/username/public_html directory when you create a site, just make one your self and put it in:

/root/cpanel3-skel/public_html

I hope this helps :)

OK, here is what you need to do, create your index.html, upload it to a site, then access your box with telnet or SSH.

Go to a command prompt like dos and do this:

telnet 192.168.1.1 (your IP address)

enter unsername and password, once logged in
enter the following command:

su -

enter root password

and then just copy the file you uploaded to the site to the /root/cpanel3-skel/public_html directory, you do this by typing this command:

cp /home/path-to-where-you-uploaded-file/index.html /root/cpanel3-skel/public_html/index.html

that should copy the index.html to the /root/cpanel3-skel/public_html directory

....and that is it you are done!

The instructions assume that you have already uploaded the index page you want to use as a holder to the server. So if you upload it to your own account, you would type
cp /home/yourusername/somefile.html /root/cpanel3-skel/public_html/index.html

Replace 'yourusername' and 'somefile.html' with whatever is appropriate. If you have put the file in a directory under your username on the server, then include the path as well:
cp /home/yourusername/path_to_file/index.html /root/cpanel3-skel/publich_html/index.html

Alternately, you can send the file directly once you have SSHd to the server by typing
send c:\path_to_file\index.html /root/cpanel3-skel/public_html/index.html

You are doing it wrong Lion, the syntax is as follows:

cp /home/path-to-the-file-you-want-to-copy /root/cpanel3-skel/public_html/index.html

For example, lets suppose that you create a file called index.html and that your username is lion, lets also suppose that you upload this file with FTP and place it inside of the public_html directory of your site.

Well, you would need then to type this:

cp /home/lion/public_html/index.html /root/cpanel3-skel/public_html/index.html
