Index of/ question1
I just deployed my first website. at first everything was working great, but the following morning my website doesn't show the actual website. instead it will display a page saying 'index of/' and a list of my files. I obviously must've done something to get to this point, but I have no idea tbh. this is my first time ever deploying a website.

Encountering an issue like this during your first website deployment is quite common, so there's no need to worry! The page displaying "index of/" usually appears when the web server cannot locate an index file (e.g., index.html) to display as the default page. In simpler terms, the main file that should be shown when visitors access your website is missing.
To address this, make sure your index file exists and is correctly placed in your website's root directory. Once you verify its presence and location, the problem should be easily resolved. Happy website building!
