PLEASE HELP!!

So if i was to re-set my site in Selfcare on my ISP website, and the
Telewest
page comes up whenever i visit my site name, and then attempt to upload a
site
to my PWP, if the new website hasn't got any pages named 'Index.htm(l)',
'Default.htm(l)' etc., etc., are you saying the files will still be
uploaded to
my PWP but i won't be able to see it unless i browse for that particular
file?

Sorry - I have no idea what you are talking about.

Let's say you have an empty site, and you upload a page called foo.html.

If you browse to http://www.example.com, you will get an error message. If
you browse to http://www.example.com/foo.html, you will see the page.

Now lets say if you have a site that is FILLED with pages, and when you
browse to http://www.example.com, you see the home page which is contained
in a page named 'index.html'. If you create a new page named 'index.html'
and upload that to the site, then when you browse to http://www.example.com,
you will see the new page you just uploaded.

Also, who is responsible for naming a file/page
index.htm(l)/default.htm(l)
etc., is it the user,

You are. DW cannot know what you want to name your pages.

And how do you
know what name your ISP uses?

It's not your ISP, it's your host. And you ask them.

Frontpage must have automaticaly known somehow as i never had a
problem with that program.

Yes, it does.

And therefore all i'll be seeing each time i enter my website name in the
browsr will be the Telewest Title Page?

Yes you've got it. I had the same thing with NTL. They create a holding page
called index.htm(l). I then renamed that file using DW and uploaded my own
index.htm. You should do the same. Re-setting the site should delete all
your uploaded pages and reinstall the default index.htm page.

Also, who is responsible for naming a file/page
index.htm(l)/default.htm(l)
etc., is it the user, or does dreamweaver do it automatically? And how do

You are responsible for placing your own index page, overwriting the default
Telewest page. DW wouldn't overwrite this unless you were 'putting ' a file
of the same name.

Hope that helps

If I were you I wouldn't waist any more time with this.
I would use an FTP program like WSFTPpro
to upload my files if you really can get it working in DW.
That is the way I do it.

Also make sure you hit Cntrl - F5 to clear your cache to see newly posted pages.

Right Guys!!!

I've just managed to reset my site in the selfcare section of my ISP website.
I then uploaded a test site to my personal webspace, and then i deleted the
index.htm file and renamed my testhomepage - index.htm (did this using the
remote view in dreamweaver) and guess what! It worked!!!!

I was then a little worried that i wouldn't be able to get my own website
loaded back up, but i just reset it again in the selfcare section of my ISP
website, then i uploaded my proper site and then deleted the index.htm of my
ISP homepage, so that i only had the one - i.e., the one in my website and its
all back again!!!

The reason i was having so much of a problem before was because i didn't
realise you had to call your homepage index.htm, and delete the other, i only
learnt that from you nice guys on this forum posting up and helping me, so
Murray, Alejandro, Malcolm, Hywell Harris, and everybody else out there that
have helped me over the past few days - Thanks Very Much!!!

I really wouldn't have got to the bottom of it if it wasn't for you guys. I
think Telewest should really make reference to the problem i've been
experiencing, as for a newbie its not obvious.

Anyway, Murray you have the patience of a Saint!!

Thanks very much everybody - but you probably haven't heard the last of me
yet, as my next objective will be to get a hit counter soughted out - but i've
searched this forum and its thrown up a few suggestions, so for the time being
i'll be experimenting with them and see how far i get.

Thanks again lads.

Good going. I'm glad I could help you.
