Home page not showing on browsers

[niallb]

Hi,
Im a total newbie, only downloaded OSCMax yesterday.
I havent started changing the template yet, but when i type in my site url (www.martial-arts-supplies.co.uk) instead of seeing my home page I get this message

Index of /

• .ftpquota
• catalog/
• cgi-bin/

Clicking on 'catalog' does take me to the home page, but thats not what I would want future customers to have to do.
Have I done something wrong or missed something?

Create a file, called index.php in the public_html directory, containing:

 <?php
header( 'Location: http://www.martial-arts-supplies.co.uk/catalog' ) ;
?>  

Turn off indexing for security ... Google it.

Thanks.
There already is a file called index.php in the public_html

What a strange setup! It appears that you may have duplicated the installation - index.php shouldn't have any reference to 'Max specific stuff at the public_html level, if installed in the default catalog directory.
If you only have 'Max installed on that domain, then I would only expect to see something like the following in public_html, unless you have other packages installed:

catalog (directory)
.htaccess
index.php (similar to the previous example)
favicon.ico (optional)
robots.txt (possibly)
afgk45675vgg.txt (example Google marker file)

You also need to get to grips with image use!
Example your Category image:
1,000px × 1,000px (scaled to 100px × 100px) !!!!

www.martial-arts-supplies .co.uk is a subdomain, I have 2 OScommerce sites running also. But martialarts has an index.php file itself which I presume came when I downloaded from OSCMax site.
The image I put on is only temp while I test the odd page, I will change the size later thanks.
Ill try your index.php.weird now and see what happens, fingers crossed
p.s. like the dragonreborn site, nice and clean

Design/colours not of my making but functionality is. As opposed to another similar site that I host which is based on the Compromise template and I had a free reign, so to speak.

Back on subject.
Subdomain doesn't make any odds, except (possibly) where you called the installation from - should be just www.martial-arts-supplies.co.uk/catalog/install
In this case, there should be no 'Max specific files in public_html for this domain.
