    Hi
    I am using joomla 1.7 in my client's site. I am facing a very peculiar problem.

    When I update the front banner that is header, it becomes available for www.ndfbd.com but not updated at ndfbd.com

    What is the difference between http://www and http://?

    I have seen directory "www" and "public_html". These both folder have my joomla site content. Should I update both when I update something using FTP (FileZilla)?

    Why Joomla is being in both folder?

    Thanks in advance.

    www is your actual directory and public_html is a shortcut to www directory... Or it can be just opposite also.. That's why both the folders contain your joomla site.... I suggest you to redirect all non-www site to www sites that will make your site more search friendly... Google sometimes index both www and non-www sites so that might create some problem with your performance in search engines...
