Im still struggling with getting my site up properly. Each time I make a small change I just upload the whole thing again. HOw do you just change a single page or picture without sending the whole thing up. And if you can just send up new single file do you have to delete the existing file if it has the same name? Thanks.
thanks that will help. Im still trying to get the basic problem solved. I seem to have an index page problem which is what Ive been playing around with. When you go to my site it shows a grey page Index list of the site pages instead of opening into the home page, If you click on any page in the list it opens into that page correctly which then navigates ok including back to the home page...
Most sites need a main page that is named index.html which is what SiteSpinner produces by default. Some sites, mainly those hosted on Windows server and using IIS, require the page to be named default.htm.
However, almost all servers use a list of valid entry point page names so if the primary page name is not found, then the next valid page name is used, then the next, and the next, etc. Finally, if no valid entry page name is found, then a file directory list is generated.
What page name are you using for your home page? Have you checked your host's FAQs to see what the valid page names are?
Yes I am using index.html as the home page and it appears in the file directory list along with the other pages when I go to stevelevinson.com And Yes the host does require index.html so I dont get it. It just occured to me that it may have something to do with my changind page names when creating the site. I have just checking in the page dialogue and noticed that the page metatags name is not the same on the index and some other pages as the page name itself. Ive just changed these ,deleted the pages online jsut to avoid further confusion ,and am uploading the changes. I hope this is going to be it!
From the file list being displayed, I see that your home page is Index.html with a capital I. I think your host is case sensitive and requires a lowercase i. This also means you will need to ensure that your links match the same case as the page names or they will "break".
Yes you are absolutely correct! And your answer came in one minute before the same answer from the host support!Thanks!! Its now up and runnig. The links all work ok on the test site but I will beware.
