Publishing Home Page As

[Guest]

I am doing website design for a client with his own server, he has FP
extensions installed - I'm not the tech guru, he is, so I'm not sure how
things are set up on his end, but they work, usually. I'm publishing to
web-locations on his server where he reviews the sites then does his own
publishing to live status.

After months of successful publishing to his server, now when I publish any
site revisions (I'm doing 5 separate sites for him), FP tells me "publishing
home page as abby.htm" and then fixes the links to the home page for all the
other related pages to go to abby.htm. Abby is his wife's name and I'm
publishing to a subfolder of her website - but her web isn't FP and has
nothing to do with my sites.

Each of my sites uses index.htm as a home page and that's what the home page
should remain. This used to work properly. Any clue what's going on?

The default home page has been renamed by someone on the host server to
abby.htm

I would ask the "tech guru."

Your client has set the default document (home page) to be abby.htm on the server, only he can
correct this.

what are you doing wrong?....letting the client mess with the design!
this will probably cause you a few headaches somewhere along the line.
