[X-Newbies] Re: iDisk problems.

[Brian Durant]

I have syncing on and set to automatic.

Here is the original description of my problem:

I have an existing .Mac web site, created in Rapid Weaver, that I am
having problems with creating a subpage in. I have one subpage from
when I created the site that works fine, but now I am trying to add
another one, I get all sorts of errors from .Mac. I have emptied
cache, marked all pages as changed, set the preferences for deleting
the existing site, etc. I have also tried deleting the site and the
"Site" folder from my iDisk and syncing, all to no avail :-(

I have managed to get my site back to its original form, but can't get
the new subpage to work with the link in the side bar and the last
page gives an error from a temporary folder that I created, but have
since deleted, that Apple can't find, despite the site looking and
working fine when I export it to my hard disk. My original site looks
like this: page 1, 2, 3, 4 (subpage), 5, 6. I want my site to look
like this: page 1, 2, 3, 4 (subpage), 5, 6 (subpage), 7.

Things don't show up on my iDisk and the site seems to get mixed up
somehow with temporary stuff that I deleted, but apparently still
exists on the server. The "temporary stuff" was where I created a new
folder/directory called "1" at the root and used RW's built-in
publishing to push the website to my account. In the new directory,
the site worked fine with the new subpage, but when I deleted both the
old and the new by dragging the folders from my iDisk, the last page
kept being directed to the "1" folder, despite having cleared cache,
deleted the site directory with RW, etc.

Cheers,

Brian
