uuuggg...Publishing FP to a "Domain Pointer"

[vfloyd]

OK...I set up a 2nd domain using "domain pointer". On my 1st attempt my 2nd site was showing all of my first site info. I blew that all away, and started over. Now, I get nothing but the lovely INDEX OF/ page.

Is there any help for publishing this 2nd FP website?

Did you create a "home" page & name it:
index.htm
index.html
index.asp
default.htm
default.html
default.asp

Usually one of those is what the server looks for as the home page

Yes, I have an index.html...this file, however, is inside the 2nd webpage folder. Should it be outside that folder in the public_html folder?

[Corey Bryant]

Are you publishing with FP or using FTP?

FP should publish correctly. And usually with hosting companies, you create your files and folders in www, wwwroot, or public_html folder. Anything outside these folders will not be accessible via the internet

Thanks...I am using FP. I think it's time to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

If it is a a 2nd folder, then you should be able to type in [example.com...] & this should bring up [example.com...]

On the server, it should be in public_html/foldername

If not - contact your hosting company and ask them to take a look.
