I assume your public_html folder contains a file named  index.html ?

Just noticed that the timestamps when you look at the ftp side of the idnet website are an hour out.

use index.html

not Index.html
Title: Re: WebSite Not Showing up

you still do not have an index.html file present

this link http://parallel.www.idnet.com/index.html (http://parallel.www.idnet.com/index.html) is returning 404 - file not found.

You need to get that working before setting up your image links correctly

think hes deleted all files all i can see is an images folder.

it changed about 5 minutes ago.

I tried renaming my index.htm and only Index.htm and Index did not work.

obviously set up to take lower case only files

Ah student thing  ;D

yes you need to set your ftp upload client to lmit connections.

mine does that every so often then you have to wait a while.

you could try winscp works for me (and its free)

On the page http://parallel.www.idnet.com/Captive_1.html (http://parallel.www.idnet.com/Captive_1.html)  there is a link to a texture sheet at /Texture_Sheet_1.html but the actual file you are trying to link to is called texture_Sheet_1.html - you must get the upper and lower cases right on every link

The site has been taken down for a re-modelling.

We have all been through the same learning process

Can i put up a video on the site?
Title: Re: WebSite Not Showing up
Post by: Rik on May 03, 2008, 16:28:28
Purely as a file, or does it need any support, eg PHP?
Title: Re: WebSite Not Showing up
Post by: Stu on May 03, 2008, 17:09:42
Just a file, be nice to have it load up in the middle of the page but if not i can just link to another place
Title: Re: WebSite Not Showing up
Post by: Rik on May 03, 2008, 17:11:03
It should be OK, then. I have a PDF on my 'site', if people click the link, they get the option to d/l it.

That's what I did.

<h2 align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;
font-family:Arial;color:red'><a
    href="http://rik.www.idnet.com/PDF/Dunblane.pdf">The Dunblane Book of
    Remembrance</a></span><span style='font-size:16.0pt;color:red'><o:p></o:p></span></h2>
    <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Arial'></span></p>
    </td>
    <td width="4%" style='width:4.28%;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt'>
    <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Arial'>&nbsp;</span></p>
