Guys,

I have uploaded new brand new website and gone to check it but my form
doesnt work.?? This was created in FP2003 so it should do. I have contacted
my provider and all FSE's are working etc etc. They are saying that all the
instructions are in the _vti_cnf file which is a hidden file??? I can see it
on Windows explorer where it is dimmed out. I have opted to show all hidden
files and folders so i can see it. Can anyone advise as to how to get these
hidden files uploaded ?? The site if you want to have a look is
www.awardenvironmental.co.uk and the form is under "survey"

Thanks guys.

Chris.
 
Did you upload the site via FP's File Menu | Publish Site and enter the path as
http://www.awardenvironmental.co.uk

Ask your host to run a check and/or check the permissions on your account.

The hidden _vti folder are NEVER published between location/server and will never been seen from
within FP. The folders and files are maintained by the FP extensions on the destination server and
site/server dependent.

Hi Thomas, it seems to work now but I fear that maybe because my browser
already recognised it.... I have cleared my temp files folder and typed it
into the address bar and it now goes there but if you just type
awardenvironmental into the address bar msn search doesnt find it ?? Do I
have to tell them I exist ??

Thanks for your help old chap.
 
You will need to search on awardenvironmental.co.uk or award environmental. It wouldn't hurt to
re-submit to the search engines and including the www.

Hi Thomas, I tried both of those options but it still said I didnt exist....
I havent sent my site to anyone yet Should I ?/ How do I submit it to search
engines ?? Sorry to be a bit slow here...
 
It is best to visit each search engine and look for the link to submit your site.
