digital_distortion Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 ok sorrry about the previous post. it was too long. anyways i sorted out part of the problem so i am editing it. here are the the questions: 1)do the local site path and the url have to point to the same location? for instance when the local path is local site path: /home/whatever/public_html/radio why does the url have to be http://WWW.mysite.com/radio and not just http://www.mysite.com ? 2) what could be causing broken text something like :... to perform. (Click the Cancel button if you do not want to rebuild any files.) to appear on the rebuild panel ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaJill Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 The reason is because of how the server is setup. public_html IS your document root. IE: public_html = / So, anything inside public_html is a subdirectory, and resolves ******/radio etc. This has nothing to do with MT, but rather with how servers work. =) If you want to store the pages inside /radio you can use a redirect. But then you'd have to figure out something else for / - is there some reason in particular you're handling it that way? 2) Screenshot? I have no idea what you're talking about. It may be a stylesheet issue, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just curious. Screenshot? I have no idea what you're talking about. It may be a stylesheet issue, though. hm. Is there some simple way of capturing a screenshot ? I dont know how to do it. When I click the rebuild, there is the usual popup which asks me to choose which or all pages to rebuild. At the ttop of this scrreen there is a movabletype publishing platform logo. Half hidden by this logo is the text "... to perform. to perform. (Click the Cancel button if you do not want to rebuild any files.)" This maybe how it is supposed to look. It may even be my browser.

LisaJill Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I can't tell you how to do a screenshot as I don't know what operating system you're on. On OSX I use a program called 'snap'n'drag'. In windows i believe it's ctrl ptrscreen then paste it into a document or some such. Or get a program to do it properly =) You may want to make sure that all your paths are right. Are you having any other display problems on the control panel side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digital_distortion Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 Lisa, it was indeed a problem with the browser. I checked on another computer and it looks fine now. Thanks for the prompt responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
