Publishing to the Web using 2003

[PST]

OK, I know this question has been beaten to death, BUT...
I save the .pub; I publish to the web (FTP); my
previously no-problem program now results in "page not
found" after upload is finished, and one tries to access
the site. David had explained something to me once about
renaming index files, but this isn't working...I have
tried with regular (default) index pages with numbers,
and I have tried to remember that renamiing
thing...nothing works. Our site is currently down...HELP!
Please.

Did you use the how to publish article at
http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=33 ?

When you publish are you saving it as "index.htm" ?

I have no clue what you are referring to about renaming, as the home page
needs to be index.htm, I would not have instructed you to rename it.

HI, I have done everything I could think of. I read the
article
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?
ID=324. It is saved as index.htm. Sometime ago, you
instructed me to not use the subfolder (?) that defaults
with 2003, but to put everythinginto one folder and to
rename all of the files. But, I can not get that to
happen now. You may go to www.dancealaska.com and see
what is happening, if you like. Thanks.

I just read the post "Controlling the names of index
files" posted 10 August. This is the renaming issue that
I was referring to. Thanks again.

The only link I didn't see that worked was
http://www.dancealaska.com/index_AcademiedeDanse2.htm
do you still have such a page in the pub file? Did you upload the web page
for that page?

Using the sub-folder is really user preference. It's usage does effect the
actual naming of files by Publisher. But as long as Publisher is doing the
hyperlinks and you publish in Publisher the file naming isn't something you
need to worry about.

At the original build, you had me to rename all of the
files to AcademiedeDanse2.htm, "3.htm, etc. It worked.
Now, it doesn't. I tried to go back to the default
version (index_Page[and a number])...this doesn't work
either. I really do not enjoy the publish changes that
were made in v2003. The site is down, and it's costing me
big-time. Thanks for your continued help.

OK, I'll just keep trying your suggestions. Nothing is
working for me.

I've told you how to publish and you say you're doing that. So there is
nothing more at this point I can offer you other than offer to publish your
site myself and review your issue. If you want to pursue that send me the
pub file and your upload login information via email.
