Re: Publisher and 1&1

I have woken up this morning with a fresh desire to beat this problem.
Apologies for the post of self-pity!

David,

I have gone into the Domain Overview section of the 1and1 Control Panel. I
have ticked the box beside jocknroll.co.uk (my chosen domain) but as soon as
I do that the destination menu greys out.

Stupid question: do I have to save the web pages I've produced (as made on
Publisher) as "index.htm" or "index.html" ?

I'll be back in a few minutes once I've had a brain-food breakfast of muesli
and caffeine!

Cheers

Paul

Paul,

Don't feel too stupid...or as someone from England told me, like a "dimbo".
1&1 is not really clear about how and where to upload your files. And their
customer support leaves a bit to be desired too. I spent quite a bit of time
helping another person with the same problem.

In that case at least, it wasn't clear as to where to upload the files. If
you are able to access your webspace by FTP, then the index.htm file and
index_files folder need to be uploaded to the root folder which just shows a
"/."

If this doesn't help clarify your issue, then before you post back, log into
your control panel, and check a couple things for me. I don't remember
exactly how you get there, but check under Domain management or some such.
You will want to get to where you see your domain name listed in a box where
the menu items are New, Destination, Contact, DNS, Transfer, Google
sitemaps, Extras, and Info. What does it say under Destination? Does it say
Home Directory?

Then check the box beside your domain name, and click the Destination menu
item, and then Show Destination. Then look under Home Directory, and see if
the Existing directory is a simple forward slash with a period, like this /.
If it isn't then make note of what it is, when you post back.

Mary,

Thanks for that. However, as a complete novice, I shall take my preferred
option of having a good cry and going to my bed for ten to twelve hours.
Perhaps it'll make some sense in the morning because at the moment it
justs
makes me feel rather stupid.

I've just spent days putting a 15-page website together on Publisher
2003.
After registering a domian name and getting a web host (1&1) I thought
it
would be plain sailing to get the site up and running.

I've just spent 40 minutes on the phone to 1&1 and I'm none the wiser
or
further forward into how I can get my site up.

I've followed the Help on Publisher and followed the instructions to
the
letter but still nothing. 1&1 even got me to download another FTP
Server
(Wise-FTP) and try doing it through that but again nothing.

Any suggestions because I can't afford to tear anymore hair out!!
