Re: link to pdf does not recognize it

You did not follow instructions....

You created a folder in your public_html called /abusersandcheaters (This was not in the tutorial)

Delete this folder and upload your pdf files directly in your public_htlml and not into a sub folder inside your public_html

Or insert the sublofolders name into the url.....Click the below....

Re: link to pdf does not recognize it

Thank you very much! That simple correction got everything running perfectly. In my defence, I did just like the tutorial showed. It used the example of a zip file and since I am not using any zip files, I substituted "zip" for the name of my domain. Quite a learning process. NOW it seems easy. Before it was very daunting. This is one major hurdle I can put behind me and work on the other.
Thanks again.

Re: link to pdf does not recognize it

Sorry, could you verify when creating a link from my page to the uploaded file (1) is the link of type file:, ftp:, http: or what?
(2) is the URL of the target really http://mydomain.com/filename.pdf or should it be ftp... or possibly ....html? I just can't seem to get it to work - I've given my file a simple name, it's directly in my root directory (although the tutorial DOES say to create a subfile). I keep getting the 404 error, so obviously somehow my link is not pointing anywhere.
Thanks

Re: link to pdf does not recognize it

It helps us if you post your url here, since there are many ways to build your site, but...assuming you are using html with no other scripts...

1) The link type should be http:
2) The url of the target pdf, should be: http://www.mydomain.com/filename.pdf

Be sure to include the www in the url and not as you have shown in your post.
Of course, make sure you have uploaded the pdf file properly before publishing your page.
