Main Page published but error on all other linked to index??

[aarkenburg]

I am so excited I just published my website, however, when I publish the links off my main page and click them from my main page an error comes up. I tried saving as html, php & bvp??
What am I doing wrong? Thank you so much for any help
have a great evening!

You are so excited that you forgot to show/post your website address/URL so that we could take a look...........

Two things...

1. Don't save any of your pages with any extension at all. Blue Voda will add the .bvp to the files as they are saved to your computer and the .html as they are saved to the server. Remove any extensions, save again and republish all pages. The links that you write, however, DO need to have the extention added by you. For example, a link from your index page might say "wwwdotmysite/mypageone.html.

2. Always post your web address so we can better see what the trouble might be.

EDIT: Yes--I usually finish second...

I did exactly as told and the pages will not show still. This is the error message
Not Found

The requested URL /free-stuff.html was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

So you created, saved and published a page called "free-stuff"--no extension, lowercase, etc?

When I can't figure something out, I usually try again with the simplest way possible. In your case I'd open up a blank page in BV, create something super simple and save it and publish it as "testpage" BTW, you are using the publish icon, correct? Don't try to FTP anything.

Then I'd look for http://www.myijot.com/testpage.html on the web.

Maybe it's just me, but hyphens in an address make me nervous. Underscores are OK.

Re: Main Page published but error on all other linked to index??

I changed all to underscores and re-published with the icon and still nothing. Can't even get a test page to show. Only the main index.

Re: Main Page published but error on all other linked to index??

I just did another test page. I saved it as test and it published???? I took out all underscores now and still my pages won't publish??

If you have taken the good advice given above then
http://www.myijot.com/testpage.html should be working
as long as the above was published to your public_html directory/folder !!

Re: Main Page published but error on all other linked to index??

http://www.myijot.com/test.html Works!
I did everything recommended and my other pages won't ........... what would make the other pages show errors?

Re: Main Page published but error on all other linked to index??

Yeah, that worked--I can see it. There's some simple solution to the rest, probably, but at this point your guess is as good as mine. In my experience, whenever BV tells me the page was successfully published but I can't find it, it means I published it to the wrong folder. This happens when I intentionally publish to a folder (public_html/subfolder) and forget that's what I did last time. BV remembers that and publishes there next time. But if your test page published OK, then it's likely some other reason.

Keep at it! You'll win!

EDIT: David beat me again!

Your http://www.myijot.com/test.html is now viewable on your site.........

Try deleting all your previous .php .bvp and .html pages and republish now that you have the correct form of linking.

PS Delete by deleting them from the right pane of FTP Manager. That removes them from the VH server but leaves them on your hard drive--we wouldn't want you to lose everything.
