iweb ftp problem....

That is how iWeb publishes and it is normal practice for iWeb to produce a site folder when you publish that has one index file inside the folder and one index file outside it.

If you re-publish it should not affect anything and the index file outside should point inside to the folder.

Let's see if we can solve the problem.

To prevent the current index.html file from being overwritten when you add a site you have to teach the server some tricks.

First, add a htaccess file to the root of the server with this code:

<IfModule dir_module>

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

</IfModule>

https://my.justhost.com/cgi/help/htaccess

Put the file on the server first and rename it .htaccess

Notice the . before the name, that makes the file invisible.

Then change your current index.html to index.php

When you add a new site, a new index.html file is created that redirects to your new site.

But it is ignored when you type :

www.domainname.com

When you change the default webpage of your current Site, iWeb creates a new index.html file.

Nothing wrong with that but you will not see you default webpage.

You have to edit the index.php file and change the pagename.

To make it easier to read, replace the current html code with :

<?php

header('location: Welcome.html');

?>

where Welcome.html should be the default webpage you now use.

Added advantage is that the default webpage loads immediately.
