Ok before I carry on, more help pls, when I enter my file manager (WebShell),
the home menu shows the following:
1024315
index_files
logs
megsracing.com
stats

Then when I click on index_files, all the pages and images are there, and
when I click on megsracing.com all the pages and images also appear but with
different file names, cgi-bin, index.htm etc.

So my question now is, what must I delete where? Sorry for being so stupid,
but I am very new at this, and really want to try it out for myself, thats
the best way of learning!
Thanks for your very quick response!!!

Archived from groups: per prev. post (more info?)

If all else fails, read the directions <g>.

From: http://www.ixwebhosting.com/index.php/v2/pages.manual2#q2

"The contents of your website will be placed into a folder that is named the
same as your site's domain name...."

And: "The domain directory:
Each of your domains and subdomains are located in their own directories.
They are named the same as your site's domain name. If you have more than
one site, you will have several such directories. These are the directories
where you will upload your .html files or any other files that you want to
make accessible from the Internet. " (your Pub web files)

I would encourage you and others to always read or at least scan the topics
in the support and FAQ section of your web host. You may not need or
understand all that information right away, but at least you might remember
that the material is there if you need it in the future. I still go back
every once in a while and scan my host help files and FAQs, and learn
something new each time.

In your case as I understand these pages, you should upload your Publisher
web files to your "domain directory"...the root directory, or in other words
the "megsracing.com" folder. That means that the correct "index_files"
folder and index.htm file should be in the "megsracing.com" folder. So this
time you can probably just delete the incorrect index_files folder in the
megsracing.com folder, and drag and drop the other one into that folder.
Then in the future when you update your site, upload your new index.htm file
and index_files folder to the megsracing.com folder, and the old files
should be overwritten.

If you read the whole page I am referencing, you will also note that you
also have other files and folders within the megsracing.com folder that are
generated by your host. You do not delete those. Read through the
description of what those are for on that page.

And finally, I don't know what ftp client you are using, but your host
recommends that you use FileZilla, a free third party ftp client. This tool
is also recommended frequently in this group. Here is the page where your
host describes how to use FileZilla:
http://www.ixwebhosting.com/index.php/v2/pages.manual6

I would recommend that you do invest the time in downloading, installing and
learning how to use FileZilla. It will save you a lot of time and hassle in
the future:
http://filezilla-project.org/
Also study the content on this page to learn how to use the tool:
http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/documentation/

Good luck.

I think Im up and running, just 2 problems, the images on my homepage,
index.htm is not there, and when I click on news or achievements it gives me
a 404 error, but when I enter my URL again and go to sponsor or gallery and
then back to news and achievements it shows, first it shows capital letters,
then back again, then show lower case letters, quite a mystery? And 1 photo
on my gallery is too big, thats no problem, that I'll fix, but please help me
with the above. Thanks for your fabulous help so far, I really appreciate it
alot, your the best!!!

Ok.

The first thing I would do is to delete the old index.htm file and the
index_files folder and upload fresh Publisher web files. Who knows what
versions of your files are actually on your host at this point.

If that doesn't fix things, then I would go back and change all your links,
etc to lower case. Double check the navbar links to make sure they are
pointing to the correct page in your site. Click on the navbar > Format >
Navigation bar properties. Select each page link > Modify link and confirm
it is pointed to the correct page....place in this document. Publish to the
web, upload the new files.

Forget trying to fix your web files piecemeal at this point. Just produce
new web files and upload them, after you compress the graphics.

David, I did what you said, now my index.htm opens perfectly online, but the
other pages gives you a 404 error. You will see it shows you page no..., but
I saved it as news.htm, achievements.htm, gallery.htm and sponsor.htm. If you
type in the url www.megsracing.com/index_files/news.htm etc, it opens up but
without images, and I did upload the whole index_file folder intact to the
correct directory, megsracing.com under index_files with filezilla. This is a
big mess-up and I dont know what to do, please if you can help me again, I
would really appreciate it! Thanks

Yes, you uploaded the new index_files folder, but you didn't upload the new
index.htm file...your home page. If you follow the link
www.megsracing.com/index_files/news.htm and mouseover the menu, you will see
that the links point to the correct, newly named pages. However, when you go
to http://www.megsracing.com/index.htm and mouseover the links, they show
the old page names Page###.htm. When you make a change in your Pub file, you
should always upload both the new index.htm file and the new index_files
folder.
