Help.

Published pitbullmedia.ca to Canadian Hosting from beta site at yahoogoecities.

Everything went well, though I admit I missed the warning about FTP having turned on the FrontPage Extensions. I cancelled halfway through FTPing and switched to HTTP mode.

Things seemed to go well though there was no public_html file

Anyway, I published everything up and it seemed to go well..

Subsequently I notice the front page is not picking up the includes for the header, left, right and footer which it does in test mode on local and was when I tested it at the remote url.

Do I have to delete the entire site and reinstall? I have tried republishing the entire thing....no change.

Help is appreciated since I just started sending out notifications of the second stage of beta testing.. and the site looks bent when you get there....

Hi,

I think you emailed this question to our tech queue.

But if I remember correctly your coding was done referring to your files relative to your computer,

ie. c:\my documents etc.....

I think you got that resolved.

Just remember that when you publish using frontpage, that you use:

http://www.pitbullmedia.ca

cause if you used: ftp://pitbullmedia.ca it will use ftp as the transfer protocol instead of frontpage.

Yes, the problem as it turns out, is that I went into the properties of the home page to add meta tags for search engine pick up (that;'s what you're supposed to do right?) and I entered the web address into the "base" field...or something like that...then I got an error message...and that;s where things went south...

from that point on everything stated to point to my C// drive...and scramble all the includes, links ect.

Very strange.

In the end I delete the home page and recreated it by cut and pasting into my template and then redesignating that page as the new page (index)

I did go back in an add stuff into properties but left the other field alone.

Thanks...for checking back..

the site is up and running and I've been playing with it pending rollout Sept. 1/.
