For some reason when I upload a site into the workspace, it won't update to the public domain and it won't show up when i manually move it to the public domain and update. I am using SmartFTP to upload sites. What could be going wrong?

You're saying it didn't work from /workspace/ (no update?), and it didn't work when you put it in /public_html/ and ran an update?
You're supposed to put it /workspace/ and then run an update.<P>------------------

anything other than indextemplate.html and dailytemplate.html should be placed in workspace/webpages/ also make sure the 2 templates aren't in workspace/webpages/<P>------------------

One other thing, make sure your templates are in lowercase and with html (not htm) extentsions<P>------------------

I put it into workspace and ran an update, but I'll try again.

I tried but it didn't work. When I fix my comp, I'll try it again, though. I put the pages in workspace/webpages and I still got a 404.

Also note that when refering to the url don't include "workspace". (ie yoursite.keenspace.com/whatever.html, not yoursite.keenspace.come/workspace/whatever.html). It would also help if you posted your url when asking questions.<P>Did you try the full update option? (Although I usually wouldn't recommend it, give it a try.)<P>------------------
