Can't create new files on workspace

When I launched the workspace after watching the video the workspace had already a file named Index.html with <h1>Nick Pettit</h1> on it I wanted to create the file myself like they taught me in the video but when I did that and I clicked preview a page that said Index of/ and a link appeared also when I tried to create a second file and clicked preview the second file didn't even appear

Hi Yeshaya,

I was able to reproduce this error. It happens when the name of your index file is capitalized, like this: Index.html

Edit: The Index of/ page shows up when index.html is anything but lower-case.

Try renaming it to the lower-case version: index.html
