I've created a sub domain on my website using cPanel at test.mydomain.com, and this created a folder in my main 'www' directory called test.

In this folder is a folder called cgi-bin, and it seems to redirect the page to say "It works!", but when I upload my own index.html file to the test directory it keeps showing http://test.mydomain.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi instead of the index file. If I go to www.test.mydomain.com then it works OK.

How do I host my content at the sub domain? It's my first time setting one up so I'm a bit lost.

Check in a different browser, you may be viewing a cached version of the default page. If that's the case clear your cache and refresh a few times in your regular browser. The server should be setup to accept index.html index.htm index.php and other common index pages.

In the test directory, ensure there's no redirect under .htaccess or an index file.

For example, in the root of my webdir my index.html was this:

<html><head><META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi"></head><body></body></html>

So removing that would fix it for me.
