New Html wont load up to website
Hi all,
Im a newbie at this so this is probably a simple a problem but I cant figure it out.
I uploaded a web page to test it and it worked OK
Ive since created a new html index page and tried to upload that however whatever I do it just isnt showing. It just shows the old page. Ive deleted the files on fillezilla and uploaded again but its still the old page
Does anyone know what Im doing wrong ?
Thanks
rachael

Re: New Html wont load up to website
Please try deleting your browser cache to force the browser to reload the new page. How this is done depends on the browser.
Also, did you overwrite the old page? Since webservers are usually case sensitive index.html and Index.html can co-exist and only the lowercase version will apply.

Re: New Html wont load up to website
Do both pages have .html extensions?
If one of them has a .htm extension, that will have priority.

Re: New Html wont load up to website
1) Make sure you uploaded the file correctly (did it overwrite the old file?).
2) Check to see that you are looking at the correct (new) index file.
3) If still showing the old file, it's probably cashed: try hard refresh or an alternate browser (or incognito mode).

That very much depends on the server configuration.audiopro wrote:Do both pages have .html extensions?

............... but it would offer a possible solution to the problem rather than just splitting hairs and not being in the least bit helpful to someone with a problem with your software.

Re: New Html wont load up to website
Thanks everyone that was a great help.
I had overwritten the file last time but it still didnt do anything.
Ive deleted the default page and uploaded again on another browser and its up now so thanks I really appreciate your help.
Whilst Im here could I also just ask ...
I have a PDF file that Im wanting to have as a download
http://www.example.com
The index page has gone on the site but I now need to add the download page and also a link on that so they can download a PDF file. In teh tuturial it says to have all these pages in one file and upload them all through fillezilla
Do I just make up my own web address and it will just go to that like
http://www.example.com/download
If you could point me in the right direction that would be great
Thanks
Rachael

Re: New Html wont load up to website
The normal way would be to put the file in a sub directory ie. 'userdownloads' (name the dir whatever you want).
This is not an issue if you only have a few download files but organisation becomes a problem if there are many of them.
For visitors to access the download, link to the file.

Code: Select all
<a title='Download the PDF here' href='www.websiteurl/userdownloads/filename.pdf'>Download the PDF</a>

Re: New Html wont load up to website
A small addition: You cannot force users' browsers to always download the PDF. The browser decides what to do, some might offer a download, but many will just display PDFs in whatever PDF plugin or feature installed. If you want them to download the PDF then wrap it into a ZIP.

Re: New Html wont load up to website
Is the file system Linux or Windows?
If Linux it could be a permissions issue or the standard settings of your server.
Ask your ISP if not sure.
