I have a problem with WebEasy8.

I've created my website, and am trying to upload it to my already-hosted domain.

I've followed all the steps to publish the website, and fail when I get to the "choose your ISP from a drop-down menu" bit. My ISP isn't listed!!

My ISP is BT. Has anyone got any ideas, please?:banghead::banghead::banghead:

Hi,

Can you post the steps that they are having you do. The normal way to upload is via FTP but we can work around that if needed.

Yeah

1. Open your website in WebEasy 8
2. Click on BUILD > WEBSITE (HTML)
3. Make sure INDEX PAGE: is called INDEX.HTML and check PUBLISH ON INTERNET
4. Click on OK. Your website will now build.
5. Click on PUBLISH TO YOUR EXISTING WEB HOSTING SERVICE OR ISP
6. Click on NEXT
7. Select the website you want to publish and click on NEXT
8. Click on CONNECT...
9. You will now need to create a profile for your web host using the information
provided by them.
10. Once the details have been entered click on OK and follow the onscreen
instructions to upload your website.

Your website will now be published.

Mine fails in step 9, where I have to select my ISP from a drop-down list. My ISP simply isn't there!:nono:

I can't use another FTP programme because WebEasy changes the format of its files at that final step; it seems that nothing else can read its files in the format they're saved in on my computer!!

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm, I've never used WebEasy8 However I do have an idea!

• Open WebEasy8
• Load up the webpages
• Go to source code view (Where you can view the actual code)
• CTRL + A
• Copy and paste all contents into a notepad file, save it as index.htm..

**Make sure that when you save the index.htm file that it does actually change to a .htm file. If it does (On windows 7, hit F10 > Tools > Folder options)

Once this menu is open to go View.

Then do the following:

Go back to the folder, you'll see the file like this "index.htm.txt"

Remove the .txt part of the file, a warning message will come up, just click okay and them bam, you have your .htm file.

Do the same with the stylesheet (.css) file types, Once this is all done install FileZilla (Its free, and good!) then tap in your FTP information drag and drop and done!

Just a thought! :dance:

Many thanks, I'll try that and get back to you!:dance:

OK, finally found the code files. Each page is separate code. I'm guessing I save the home page as "index.htm". What do I save the others as, please?

TIA.

Sorry for the late reply (using my phone) you should name each individual page the same name thats it is called within your navigation.

Double post - I now have the Internet back again so i can give a better explanation.

In the software you are using to make the web pages, if you have multiple pages other than the homepage you'll need or should already have a navigation (menu bar). In this navigation (the coding) there should be HTML taggs that look something like:
<a href="location/filename.htm">file</a>

the a href tagg is basically making a hyperlink to another document, file or location on the web server or directory. If all of your documents including the index.htm are in the same folder or directory then you'll simply see:

<a href="nameofpage.htm">

If either is true then when copying and saving the files from the software all you need to do is make sure the names of the files are the same as the ones used in the software. If, for some reason the navigation doesn't work then check the names of the files and their location. Capitalisation does matter as well.

**Please note: This method is the long-way around doing this because your software shouldn't be giving you errors, this is simply a way around it if you cannot get passed it at all. I am not familiar with WebEasy8 otherwise I would be able to help you further, however I am sure somebody else on this forum is bound to be more familiar than I when it comes to WebEasy8.


and finally FTP

There are various different FTP clients around, the one I normally use is FileZilla, when you do get to this stage if you cannot get WebEasy8 to work you'll need your FTP login details from your web hosting provider!
