beeseven 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 public_html or www. They're the same thing. It won't read correctly unless it's in one of those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HmmZ 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 When it comes to making a webpage, there is 'first things first'   with webhosting it works as followed: >make an index page for your website >upload it to your public_html folder, also known www >go to your cPanel and log in >browse to the url redirection settings >then do the following: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/[empty space] >> http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/[your index page] then apply the redirection (you can choose to make it a temporary redirection or a permanent one)  then you can use either: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ or even: your-domain.trap17.com  It all redirects to the set redirection url  Hope this helps you ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trystim 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 Everything stated so far is correct and questioned as well properly. If you are new to the scene and don't know how to use redirects and such you want to just use the basic index.html as your first/main home page. You always upload to www or public_html folder unless once again you are redirecting to another folder contained within those folders mentioned. Store it anywhere else to keep it out of site from others if your working on it or make a blank index.html page so they can't just surf your directory contents.Viable utility is a ftp client as well which will help to assure you get it in the right location . Myself i use Filezilla, free opensource and very stable/reliabe.Hopethis information helps you goood luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fireofgoths 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 i use filezilla i am not having a problum with the index taht is all good it is the links to my other pages taht is the problum. I have my other pages uploaded to the same palce as my index and when i click them it sends me to mysite.trap17.com/links.html which should be the links page but it doesn't come up.

Sprnknwn 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 Make sure that the links pointing to the pages are the same. For example it?s common to have a link like (links.htm) and the page that you wanted to open is called (links.HTML) because the editor has saved it with that name, for example. Â Anyway, if you try your website and the links work properly in your hard disk, there is no reason why it shouldn?t work if you upload them all with the same structure to the "www" folder. But only if you have relative links, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeXDesigns 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 if your links.htm (or .HTML) is in the same directory as index.html, use just the name of the page for a url (links.htm)or use a complete url if all else fails http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/hope that explains it.

tariqrf 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 hmmm... it must be the problem with your site and not the host (no way the host has a prob with links!!).. so its obv is with you... first check your navigation buttons on your site and make sure that all your pointing url's are proper, since they are in the same folder, i suggest not using the whole url as it is... change "http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; to "links.htm"... or html which ever way it is,, and then try out your site on your local folder in your computer and then upload it, if it works on your local computer, then the navigation pointing is correct, if it fails in the browser, i.e, Xisto, then its Xisto's fault, not sure, probably a link to your site should give a better picture,hope it helps,T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
