404 not found if my files are .xhtml or html, but NOT if they're .htm

This is weird. My browsers time out trying to access any web pages with .xhtml or .html, but no problem if they're .htm. Blue Griffon web design progrem generates .xtml files which I'm having to save as .htm to get x10 to find it, but it's not recommended to do that.

Is this a browser issue or is there some kind of permission setting in x10 to allow a browser to connect to an .xhtml file in x10? I've looked in control panel and can't find anything and forum search has nothing on .xhtml

There shouldn't be any difference - it should either serve the file as a web page or try to send it as an attachment / download.

Have you tried specifying the full site URL including the filename, paying particular attention to Linux being case sensitive? I'm hoping it's just a case of specifying what files apache serves as an index file in .htaccess...

Got URL?

Solved. Thanks. Your lower case clue applies even if it isn't Ubuntu, as I'm running Windows. It wasn't full http:// but rather upper/lower case differences between my file names in x10 and the links in my pages. I've got everything lower case now.

I'm thinking xhtml as a newer protocol has case differentation built into the design. it's going to cause a lot of anguish, as I spent several hours looking elsewhere being conditioned by Windows and Office which doesn't distinguish. Add in another 5 wasted hours with Front Page and Word to build my webpages before I realized I had to switch to one of the HTML free editors and I've lost over a day(even though Blue Greffon generated the xhtml files which started all this}

Windows is case-insensitive. Linux is case-sensitive. The file type or underlying software does not make any sort of difference for this as it is baked into the Operating System itself.

And to clarify - x10Hosting's servers run Linux ("CentOS")
