WebSite Not Showing up

[Stu]

Hi, i have uploaded all my files, the website works ok off the hard disk but its coming up online as the directorys and stuff u know? how can i get it to open on a certain page, say index or similar?

Thanks

[kinmel]

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

[g7pkf]

index.htm

should do it

[g7pkf]

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

[Stu]

Yes there is Index.html but still the same

[kinmel]

can you post a link to the site ?

[Stu]

http://parallel.www.idnet.com/

[g7pkf]

use index.html

not Index.html

[kinmel]

you still do not have an index.html file present

this link 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

[g7pkf]

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

[g7pkf]

think hes uploading now as it seems to be partly working

[Stu]

Uploading again now

[g7pkf]

out of intrest whats it all about?

looks weird to me (then im pretty weird myself)

[Stu]

Its my Uni FMP - a game level

[Stu]

After 108 transfers they are now all failing

421 too many connections (10) ?

[g7pkf]

Ah student thing 

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)

[kinmel]

It's getting better - keep going 

[g7pkf]

also it looks like your using uppercase on some of your links from different sites.

captives work from index but not sub pages.

use html not HTML

[Stu]

Some of the pages that have lower case and are uploaded are not being found

[g7pkf]

are the links lowercase?

sorry otbed as been up since 3 working

hope ive been of help

[Stu]

yes amazing help thanks very much.

On the page 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 link I see on that page is http://parallel.www.idnet.com/texture_sheet_1.html    with a lower case 's' in sheet  but I too get a  404 not found page

Does Unix allow the underscore?

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

We have all been through the same learning process

[Stu]

Down for now, gotta change some graphics and add some pages. Will make sure everything is lower case

Stick with it, the next site you do will seem easy 

[Rik]

The first one I did seemed easy, Alan, but that's because it was simple.

[Stu]

Can i put up a video on the site?

[Rik]

Purely as a file, or does it need any support, eg PHP?

[Stu]

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

[Rik]

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.

[Stu]

How would i upload it and how would i link it?

do i simply upload the mpeg to the directory and link to  movie.mpeg?

[Rik]

That's what I did.

Thanks rik, your the fastest helper ever!

[Rik]

That was three minutes, Stu, I aim for two.

[Stu]

Never Mind

[kinmel]

The site is working beautifully now
