Re: Where's my site gone? Index.php vanished
Okay…did all that….(You’re instructions were easier than installing TXP!)….hmm – that plugin is a beast of code! Okay…I’ll go through the help instructiosn for that later…and if I run into probs – I’ll review that thread or ask on there.
Cheers for all your help Stuart. :)

Re: Where's my site gone? Index.php vanished
I asked further about if I could edit them using ftp…there only answer was ‘no’. So then I asked – well, does that mean I can only ask the helpdesk to edit or delete these files then? There answer was yes.
You can edit the file on your PC, and upload the changed version.
Regarding the possibility of getting clean URLs to work: 95% of the time, the .htaccess that comes with Textpattern works out of the box. On servers where it doesn’t work, the necessary changes are highly specific to that server environment and configuration. Basically: experiment and read up on mod_rewrite until you find something that works. You could start with some of the suggestions in this thread.
If that sounds like too much work, use messy URLs.

Cheers Zem.
“You can edit the file on your PC, and upload the changed version.” ….Yeah – I’d been doing this before I posted to the thread (based on something from a different thread). But when that wasn’t working for me…then I knew I needed to ask for further advice.
I haven’t tried the plugin that Stuart suggested yet…so I’d do that first in any case. If that doesn’t work – then I’ll have to just live with messy URLs.
Thanks.
