Aborting Updates

Joshnickerson · Post by **Joshnickerson** » Tue Sep 05, 2000 7:22 am

I'm getting frustrated with Keenspace. I uploaded a new index page twice already, and each time I do that, the next day I come
back and its gone, replaced with that lame generic one. How can I make it so the site doesn't replace it and so it won't update
unless I want it to? Please help, I'm really getting frustrated with this site.

Josh,<P>You should be updating a page called "indextemplate.html". Every night at update time (midnight EDT, I think) the KeenSpace server rewrites index.html with information from the template.<P>This allows daily comics to be updated daily without the author having to upload a new file every night.<P>Don't upload anything to your public_html directory. Do everything in the workspace directory, and then the AutoKeen scripts will do the work for you.

OK, I'll try that. Thanks!
This whole auto thing is new to me. I'm used to manually updating webpage.
