# Default Page

## It works!

This is the default page. If you see it in your browser then it most likely means that you have installed SeisComP successfully and that scmaster is running. Congratulations!

This default page is located in your installation directory at `share/scmaster/http/index.html`. You are supposed to replace that page with a version that represents your organization or that describes the purpose of this installation.

Replacing this page will not affect the functionality of the messaging system at all. Don't worry if you break things in your http root directory. And you don't need to restart scmaster if you have changed any files. Just reload the browser.

## Replacing this page

Do not modify the default file as it will be overwritten when you update your installation!

To avoid losing your changes after an update, create a new directory where you would like to save all of your files to be served. Re-configure scmaster to use that directory as http root directory.

1. Create new local http directory
2. Set `http.filebase = /path/to/http/root` in `scmaster.cfg`

You can place any files you want into the http root path. scmaster will serve them happily. Add html files, stylesheets, images and any other kind of assets your page requires.
