I have a website: www.mywebsite.org
However, if any one tries to access it with that URL, they get a 404. Instead, they can get on with www.mywebsite.org/index.htm

The first time i published the site, i used a script in the index file which pointed to my homepage in another folder: www.mywebsite.org/homepage/index.htm

It is this second URL which pops up a 404, even though i replaced the script with a real index file.

Now whats the cause of this?

mywebsite.org seems to bring up lots of urls that are used by homesite and other ISPs.
When you build your webpages the first page will be the index page.
Next when you up load the code for your site
Ftp your websit.com or ftp:mywebsite.org
it must go to the public directory.

it appears that the visitor is seeing the page that your host is putting up.
What is your domain name?
Suggestion. search on www.mywebpage.org I don't think that is your domain name.
I hope this will help you.
