Hi all, I am using the mod rewrite feature now to generate my directory but i would like to try swtiching to static pages. But when i tried generating the html pages, the pages could not be found. i am using the subdirectories on. Here is the settings:- Absolute URL Prefix: http://www.mysite.com/test Directory to write automated HTML to:test Main index page: Index.html Categories: index{PAGE}.html Image Details : image{IMAGEID}.html Comment Threads: comments{IMAGEID}{IMAGEPAGE}.html Page Separator: - When i successfully generated the pages, i can see that the directories and index pages do exist in my ftp but when i tried accessing online like typing http://www.mysite.com/test/mycategory1/index.html or http://www.mysite.com/test/mycategory1/index-2.html. It was 404 error. But i could access the pages when i tried http://www.mysite.com/test/mycategory1/ without the index.html behind. When i asked for support of my host provider, they said the pages are generated dynamically and the userids are different. THat is why i could not access the directory. Can somebody tell mehow to fix this? Please help. Added: i guess its because of the subdirectory feature because i can get pages if i do not use the subcategories on. But i will get weird urls if i do not use the subcateogry. Like test/My Cat and Cat2.html or something. There will be no slash beneath and the NOTVAR appears for some files. .

Use the chmod utility to chmod files generated by apache. (See archived hacks forum or upgrade to 3.14.) I'm pretty sure 3.0x had a number of static html generation issues, but you'd have to check the bugfix lists (comments) in the arhives of the member download to be sure (I think I remember those being post-release fixes around 3.11 or so).

Erm paul thx for replyin. I tried that but still not working. The index.html pages are still not accessible. Others like comment.htm are fine but just not index.html. :< Is upgrading to 3.14 good? i have two sites using wsn links and another one is 3.13 but still when i tried generating html there, its still the same. And the index.html was showed as file type instead of html format in FTP. Edited by morton82 on 02/15/05 - 03:41 PM

Ok Solved. It seems like i put in index.html(space) instead of index.html in the field. SO that field screws up everything.

Will auto-trim spaces in the future.
