I just created a Static simple web site for a domain. I believe it is all set up correctly. The user manual is good. But I can't figure out this last bit. When I connect via FTP there are a lot of pre-existing folders. That's ok. Where I place my files for the web site? Do I navigate to /home and add a subfolder for the domain? And if that is correct, then how do make sure the domain serves up pages from that folder. I didn't see a way to indicate which folder is used. Such as www.mydomain.com/myfiles/index.htm Ultimately, I will have more than one web site (different domains) and need to keep the files organized and separate of course. Thanks. asked 23 May '13, 19:59 sheilac |
This is covered in our website documentation. In a nutshell, you have multiple applications under your account, where each is a directory, and then you map domains to applications via website records. Applications live in your home directory, under the " So, if your username is " You would not create a new directory under " Now, a new folder will be created for you automatically at " Finally, to link that folder to a domain name so you can see it on the Internet, you would create a website record to mount the " A file at " Hope that helps! answered 23 May '13, 23:33 ryans ♦♦ Thank you so much. This is helpful. I am new and appreciate your help. When I set up the web site under Domains/Websites > Websites, in the Contents section, I reused an existing Static web site application and then added a subfolder to the path. Using FTP, I believe I am looking in the right subfolder /home/USERNAME/webapps/staticmedia But the subfolder I indicated was not created. /home/USERNAME/webapps/staticmedia/mynewfolder (It has been more than the 2 minutes). Any idea what step I missed?

I now have it sorted out. I didn't realize that you have to create a new application for each web site / domain, and that creates the subfolder. Thank you for your help.
