Publishing problem

G

Guest

When I publish my site I can only see a list of directories and no viewable
pages.
The site used to publish and work fine. I think I may have deleted some
important files by mistake when I updated some pages. Hence, the site works
fine when previewed in a browser in frontpage.

Any ideas?

thanks in advance

Where are you looking when you see nothing but folders?
If in an open web dialogue, then that's all you should see.

I see the folders? when i view my site in my a browser after publishing that
the problem occurs.

After further investigation it seems that it may be something to do with the
way the browser? reads my homepage (default.htm? page) .The homepage when
viewed displays the following:

20/05/2005 21:16 <dir> buttons_etc
20/05/2005 21:16 <dir> carregions
20/05/2005 21:16 <dir> nwcars
.......etc

but when I open one of the above and gain entry into my site, I can surf
happily around the pages of my site except for the homepage which when
selected displays the above listing.

thanks again
Ian

Your home page file name must be named the same as that required by your host (index or default w/ am extension of .htm or .html)
- what you are seeing is a directory listing because your home page file name is not named correctly
