I created an account with a new domain name this past Friday evening and quickly uploaded my simple web page, and everything worked great. I have a simple index.htm home page with links to two other .htm files and those link back to the main page. I spent some time editing the 3 htm files on Saturday and was pretty satisfied with them late Saturday night. The site displayed fine with Internet Explorer and Chrome, and all was well.
Then today I noticed from my work laptop that when I typed in my domain name, nothing would display. I could log into my account and go to Cpanel and look at my files with File Manager, but my browser couldn't find my web page page. I could see the files with Filezilla via ftp as well.
After looking around the forums and FAQs, I found nothing, so I figured I'd try to use Sitebuilder to build a dummy site on my main domain page. All of my original files remained in tact, except that "index.htm" was renamed to "index.htm_bak" and the new files and folders were added to my public_html directory. When I typed my domain name into my browser, the dummy web page (from a stock template) popped up. When I deleted all the new files and renamed my index.htm file, nothing showed again, like my domain no longer existed. (it is http://berkleyaaa.x10.bz by the way).
I re-published the Sitebuilder dummy web page and it showed properly in my browser. I then simply renamed the index.php file to a backup name, an re-named my original index.htm file to index.php. Voila, my web site was back and working again, except that my links back to my main page no longer worked since they were calling index.htm instead of index.php. I then removed all the Sitebuilder files again but left my index.php alone. Then, this time instead of using Filezilla, I used File Manager to rename index.php to index.htm, and my site is workig the way it did Saturday night.
I have two questions:
1) Why did my site suddenly quit working? It worked fine Saturday night.
2) Is there some setting I need to have in Filezilla that is preventing me from properly managing my files? Why was I able to upload the files with Filezilla without issue originally?
I don't want to have to go through all this again, so if someone can educate me a bit on this, I would appreciate it.
Thanks
