Thread: publish page settings, computer crash!

I would appreciate any help,

My computer crashed, had to reinstall bv. I retreived my homepage (from web site) made some changes & I want to publish. My settings are fine but I am not sure of the folder and file settings.


1. in folder - public_html ??.

2. what folder I use for the home page and do I use publish HTML files only?

3. also, when I am ready to add a page, would I use the very same settings? If not what would change.

Thanks in advance.

Hi auralight,

For the index page it is always "public_html/"
Name your page "index" only nothing else.

sorry, are you saying, on the publish page, after seriver IP , uaername & password id..
in folder I should type in index? or public_html

and just below that,
In files, publish html files only , all files, or publish changed files only?

1. The folder should be public_html

1. Publish all files.

These two things will create a complete index page that would be the first page to open when anyone goes to your website. To publish additional pages, also publish them to public_html but give them different names. The names must be lowercase and no spaces. For example, about is a good name for an About Us page.

Great explanations Thanks you guy's !

Just a couple more things,
I am getting an error message (in publish) that my password is incorrect.
which password would that be, I thought it was from cPanel.

also, I saw somewhere a site for newbie's., anyone know where that may be, I lost it with the crash of 09!

found it ! password that is.

Glad things are working out.

The site you're looking for is probably David's.

thank you TF, it's David's
