This is going to sound like the most stupid question, and i have edited my home page so many times before but now i can't find it! I moved to a new server, not sure if thats why. I edit my index.html but its not changing the mydomain.com home page. Whats going on?
are you using a program like frontpage/dreamweaver? or are you simply using a text editor and ftp'ing your pages? cpanel has files in the public_html folder. at least that's how mine is set up.
I just edit in a text editor, but since i have moved my site to a new server, it is now an add on domain and the index.html page that used to edit the homepage, is now no longer changing it????
yes the public_html folder is where i am, and its where i usually edit my pages, but the problem is, that the index.html page is no longer changing the home page, and there is no other file for the home page. this has only been a problem since it became an add on domain. I don't understand where the home page file has gone??? Its no where to be found
Add-on domains each have their own folder inside the public_html folder. If your site is named somesite.com, then look for a folder called somesite.com in the public_html folder. Your files will be in there
Are you sure you are not editing the file from the old server? If you just changed servers ftp may still be resolving to the old machine. Bill is correct as well, addon domains live in their own folder, not the root folder. I have a bunch of addon domains on my development server. For clarity sake I keep all my addons in a folder called client-websites so I don't clutter up my main directory. hope that helps, Nigel
