Old placeholder file is in the way:path/to/my/blog
Hi,
Since a few days i get this error message: ‘Old placeholder file is in the way:path/to/my/blog’ in the diagnostics; i have made no modification on the structure of my website.
I have tried to erase the section; recreate it; without success.
So i created a new section with another name : same result.
What can i do ?
Thank you,
Stéphane.

Do you have a file named ‘blog’ in /path/to/my/?

Yes i do; it is a floder i use with a .htaccess file to restrict access to the full section.
I have just tried to rename it; it seems to solve the problem; but i lose my section password protection.
What do you think i should do ?
Thank you for your help.
Stephane.

There are a couple of ways:
txp:password_protect
ign_password_protect
and probably more that I don’t know ;)
Just remember not to use real folders with the same name as your sections.
