ejh Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 AHH! I have no idea what I did, I was trying to install Coppermine, and now my website is gone... www.Gale2006.com! What do I do!! I tried republishing from FrontPage and it just says it's done publishing, but I don't see my site. If I pull up www.Gale2006.com/index.htm... I see what I want my homepage to be, but when I pull up www.Gale2006.com, I just get that blank page! Oh man... Please help! Thanks!!

TCH-Thomas Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Did you publish coppermine in its own subfolder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejh Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 Well I tried... I had to learn how to do this ftp business, and by accident I published it onto the pain public_html... so then I deleted it all, well I think I deleted something I shouldn't have. Is this bad? Is this fixable?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 (edited) I don´t know if you have fixed it but first time I saw what you saw, but now I see the gale-site on both http://gale2006.com and http://gale2006.com/index.htm. EDIT: Forget what I just said. Now the problem is back. Edited July 22, 2005 by TCH-Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejh Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 No... I just get a completely blank page. The site at www.gale2006.com/index.htm is what I want to see when I type in www.Gale2006.com... But I get a blank page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCH-Rick Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 There was a blank index.html file in the folder as well as index.htm. As a result the index.html was the default. I removed it and the site is loading fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I removed it and the site is loading fine. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am so glad you fixed this for poor Eric. What a stress attack! You guys are like EMTs. Thanks for your quick help. I have some folo-up questions: Is it good to have a blank index.html file in the folder? Isn't the public_ftp file good for backups? What is the public_ftp file for anyway? Thanks, queenpictoria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 You went but I will answer it. The public_ftp folder is not for backups. It is an anonymous FTP folder for your site. However anonymous FTP is disabled on the TCH servers. If it were active you would be able to allow people to upload files to you anonymously as well as offer files to others anonymously. Is it good to have a blank index.html file in the folder? If you place a blank index.html file in a folder the server will send that to a browser when that folder is accessed. If it happens to be your public_html folder they would not see a home page or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I put a blank page in my image folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenpictoria Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 You went but I will answer it. Sorry Bruce, I'm a bit cross-eyed today. Lots of hours on this computer. Thanks for keeping me on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenpictoria Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I put a blank page in my image folder <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How does having a blank index.html folder in your images folder help? Does that mean ....I mean....what does that mean. Does the data on the real index.html folder duplicate itself in the blank one automatically? I am sure they do not. Maybe I need to do some reading. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 If someone browsed to yourdomaine.ext/images they would see a list of your images. If you had a blank index.html file in there that is what they would see and not a list of your images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Yes it is just a blank white page. It keeps the list of images and folder below hidden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenpictoria Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Yes it is just a blank white page.It keeps the list of images and folder below hidden. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hello Don, Thank you for the clarification. Does this blank index.html page work in any folder in the public_html folder? I am sure I wouldn't put one directly under public_html or it would block my website..is that right? Thanks, queenpictoria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Leave it out of any folder that already has an index page. You can put it in any folder that has no index page in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
