[FIX] Just published website cannot be browsed

Article ID: 1761 
Last Review: Nov,02 2007
APPLIES TO:
  • Sitebuilder 3.x for Windows

SYMPTOMS

Website has been published with Sitebuilder successfully. However Page not Found error is dispayed when trying to browse one.

CAUSE

The problem relates to index file for the web site.

When Sitebuilder publishes a web site:


1. It creates physical folder /httpdocs/sitebuilder. Copies necessary data to this folder (e.g. site conent).


2. Creates virtual folder /site/ that points to /httpdocs/sitebuilder.


3. In domain root folder /httpdocs does create index file index.html that redirects to virtual folder /site.

RESOLUTION


If , browsing the domain, there is no any content it means that something happened with index.html file. It should redirect to virtual folder /site/. You need to check its content. It should look like

<HTML><HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=site/"></HEAD><BODY>Nowyou will be automatically redirected to the required website. If your browserdoes not support redirection, please click <a href="site/"> here</a></BODY></HTML>


If it is not you need to replace index.html content with the text above.
