Hi, i’m learning HTML and i have a problem with the preview of my page. When i click on preview it doesn’t land directly on my page but on the index page. It appears like : Index of/ and then i have to choose index.html, but i don't know why it doesn't open directly as a webpage.
Thank you !

Besides the configuration change, you could use page redirection or just rename your page as "index.html".

Also, if you're attempting to preview a parent directory of some index.html file, you'll likely get the result you've mentioned.

1,626 PointsThe name of the file i wish to preview is index.hmtl. I also have an image folder with some pictures. So when i try to preview, i have Index of/, index.html and img. So when i open index.html it doesn't show the picture that i linked. How do i fix that ?? Thank you
