Hi,

When I update the index.htm page (default page) and access the web site for example www.domain.com/ I get the old page, refreshing the browser doesn't update the page.

But when I access the web site www.domain.com/index.htm I get the latest updated page.

Does anyone have any advice why the server doesn't serve the updated index page but keeps serving the old page when using the www.domain.com/

Thanks

You probably have more than one default page!

Nope, There is only the default page (index.htm) in the public_html directory. I double checked, thanks anyway.

This is very strange, I have experienced no such problems on other servers. It's a new server and support is also baffled by it and has not been able to solve it as they have not replied to me yet regarding the problem for the last 2 days.

Refreshing the browser normally updates the page but this is not the case.

I could not believe what I saw when I login via SSH to the server and to confirm using FTP.

There was indeed 3 files in the directory.. index.htm, index.html, and index.htm.bkcp after deleting the index.html everything was back to normal.

I don't know how it got there. Anyway, thanks stephen(glypto.com) you were right.

it could be your local ISP caching pages... a lot of ISPs have started doing this to reduce costs and improve speed.. :(

Thanks for the info kunal, I didn't know that. I will keep in mind should any of my clients have this problem.

Regards
