    So I uploaded all my website's files/folders on the root (/) but apparently when I try to access www.MyDomainName.com it's still the DiscountASP panel. However, when I create a folder called Test, upload all my website to it, make it a Web Application and access www.MyDomainName.com/Test, it works.

    I want it to work directly on www.MyDomainName.com

    What is your default page filename? Most likely its being trumped by the DiscountASP.NET default page. You can remove the DiscountASP.NET default page from your root.

    For this you'll need to setup a redirect script. In IIS all startup page will begin in the root. If you want it to start in a subdirectory a redirect script will be the only way to achieve it. Try referring to this kb article on an example of setting up a redirect script.

    https://support.discountasp.net/KB/...omain-to-a-subdirectory.aspx?KBSearchID=29036

    This kb shows how to redirect subdomains to a subdirectory but you can also use it for just your domain name.

    So I should put this script in a index.htm (default)? I've tried but I think it's failing.

    Here's my index.htm:
    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-...
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<%
If InStr( UCase(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")),  UCase("epicerielauziere.com") ) > 0 Then
        Response.Redirect("/EL/Accueil.aspx")
End If
%>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

    If you've placed the code within an HTML file, the server-side code that you've specified will not work since the .htm/.html extensions aren't configured by default to be handled by one of the scripting engines.

    The easiest workaround would be to rename the file to either .asp or .aspx so that the code can be processed as a classic ASP application or an ASP.NET application and you'll need to make sure that the file name that you use is configured as a default document.
