New site design, indextemplate reverts to old

Post by Nick Sacco »

I've spent the past few days building and debuging a new site design for my comic, at http://www.duktap.com. For some reason, every day the indextemplate.html reverts back to the old version of the site, while the rest of the site is still on the new design. I know I'm doing everything right...

Edit: The layout is back to the new now, since I'm manually updating the index, again.

Go check out Kisai's nifty scrpit here and also make sure you don't have any stray files called index.html or indextemplate.html lurking in your workspace directory.

I will note that the checkkeen does NOT take into account frames BTW.

However this actually provides a clue, if you check your template file, I bet you all the tags have gone missing and have been replaced with the fixed code...

Solution, goto /workspace/webpages and DELETE indextemplate.html from there if it exists.

Reason: There is a indextemplate.html symlink in /public_html , autokeen is a little bit stupid in this department and will take /workspace/webpages/indextemplate.html and try to copy it over /public_html/indextemplate.html (which is a symlink to /workspace/indextemplate.html) which instead overwrites the original indextemplate.html ... someone else the other day had the exact same problem.

If this doesn't happen to be the problem, e-mail help@ and I take a look at it.
