Website root folder

I am trying to get website ownership verified by Norton Antivirus. They say I
need to copy a verification code into my website root folder. Are they
talking about the code area of my index page? As you can tell I am just
learning.
Thanks
Bob
 
Don't know about Norton - I always avoid Symantec products - but other
companies such as Google that require a website verification page either
look for a meta tag in the home page containing the verification code, or
an empty page with a particular name.

Does this help?
 
I would like site verification an must complete the following process before norton will "verify" my website as "safe". They write:

Please follow the steps outlined below to complete the registration process:
Step 1: Add a publicly viewable file at the root folder of your Web site.
a) Create a file with the following file name and content: File name: nortonsw_d63ba1b0-b267-0.htmlFile content: 5gsxrw0455q-6qxzyhjnc70ykgdgp0hut3aqwgt8gjpu2vx8d1w1o060lb4j3uvboo7jt-kgiru43k48r3q2c797b6i2xta9ktrb7ul5nm17boe1f6d9-rvykjcfxc7c
b) Add the file to the root folder of your Web site.
c) Verify that the file is publicly available at: http://minnetonka.dk/nortonsw_d63ba1b0-b267-0.html

Step 2: Initiate the verification process Once you have completed Step 1, please click on following link to initiate the verification process: http://safeweb.norton.com/site_dispute/verify_site/55208

My question - Where exactly do I place this file? I have acces as administrator to my webpage, but I have no idea where the "root file" is, or where I should paste the file to make it publicly available.

Can anyone help?

make a blank .htm page and call it

nortonsw_d63ba1b0-b267-0.htmlFile content:
5gsxrw0455q-6qxzyhjnc70ykgdgp0hut3aqwgt8gjpu2vx8d1w1o060lb4j3uvboo7jt-kgiru43k48r3q2c797b6i2xta9ktrb7ul5nm17boe1f6d9-rvykjcfxc7c.htm

then save it under the root...

your root is what your index.htm page is under..... if you can see in folder
list your index.htm page.... and the .htm page named above then thats where
you have put it ... I would select the very top of the tree in folder list
.... which is your root ... then save to to file - save as and name the page
and press ok .... publish the site and check it with their tool....

come back if that does not work and post YOUR link in the post ... otherwise
we can not help in checking it is there.

I don't know if you have ever found an answer that worked for what you are
trying to do but I'm using MS expression web 3 which is just an updated
version of front page.

I would think it would work the same for you as it did for me, I recently
have gotten this code from norton safe web. and as far as putting it in your
website for verification all you have to do is;

1. save the code in your documents or where ever you are comfortable
savinging it on your computer just as it is. Don't rename it. You want to
keep the file name they give you.

2. Go to front page or expression web which ever you may have and access
your website.

3. import the file to your website as it is.

4. go to publish and connect to your site.

5. publish the file from the left side to the right and your done.

6. go to norton safe web and do the confirmation and it should go right
through no problems. It doesn't seem to matter where the file is in relation
to the other files, just that the file is present on your site makes it
public and can be read by their verifier.

Hope this helps you or anyone else who might have the same query.

had same problem. here's how i fixed it:

in norton safe web account i removed my website (www.bourgetspa.com) from my profile. then re-added it and requested a NEW verification file.

with this new file - I saved & posted it in my website's root directory as www.bourgetspa.com/nortonsw_blahblabblah.html.

then I went back to norton safe web and re-verified and everything worked fine...

good luck.

Egghead alert!
Do you really think the OP is coming back to see any further answers to a
post that is several months old, and especially since the subject has
changed? How would they know what to look for?

You need to use a real newsgroup..
