I inherited a website. I'm self-taught and basically learn everything on the fly, hence my post. The website currently resides on a Windows web server and the site files reside in a folder named ' Of course in DW the file structure reflects that on the web server and all files are in a 'www' folder.
I am moving the website to a web host running Linux and have been told the site files are to be put in a folder named 'httpdocs'.
The site is built on a template but on saving changes to the template the child pages are not automatically updated. I have to do each one manually - Modify/Templates/Update Current Page and that works fine.
Using vmware (a virtual machine on my PC) I took the site files out of the 'www' folder and put them into a folder named 'httpdocs'. Now when I try to update a child page after making a change to the template DW gives me an error code 3 bad file path and continues to put 'www' in the path before the word 'templates' even though there is no such I see this in the child page:
<html><!-- InstanceBegin template="/ codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
<head>
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="doctitle" -->
<title>xxxxxxxx</title>
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
I'm thinking the bad file path error is being caused by the the path above.
1. If I was able to change that to /templates/xxx.dwt would that solve the problem?
2. If so, how do I change it because it does not appear in the actual template document and is uneditable in the child pages.
Thanks for any advice.
