A quick look at the challenge suggests they want you to put in the root-relative path , so just change the index.html to a forward slash / and as index.html is the default file for the root directory you don't need to specify the file name in this instance. It passed the challenge when I did it that way.

You're close, but a "root relative" path will always start with a slash ("/").

Also, you don't need that period at the end of the file name.
