Convention of faces in OpenGL cubemapping

Viewed 6429

What is the convention OpenGL follows for cubemaps?

I followed this convention (found on a website) and used the correspondent GLenum to specify the 6 faces GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_X_EXT but I always get wrong Y, so I have to invert Positive Y with Negative Y face. Why?
