Website problem with inmotion hosting and wordpress

Question: I have my web hosting thru inMotion and decided to use the wordpress option thru fantastico. In wordpress I choose a new theme for my website but when I go and look at the website all I see is the old one. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

By old one I mean the layout I made in dreamweaver, how do I see the wordpress theme?

Answer:

That’s because your site is loading the wrong index file.  You’ve got both Dreamweaver and WordPress installed on your domain.  Your Dreamweaver site is index.html.  WordPress is index.php.  It’s loading the html page, first.  Just rename the index.html file to old-dw-index.html or something else so it doesn’t load.  You can also delete it.  If you ever need it again, just upload it again from Dreamweaver.

The pecking order seems to be this.

default.html – usually the default file when you first get your hosting account.
index.html
index.php
index.xxx – other files like ASP, Cold Fusion, etc.
