Index file problem - "This page has not been exported yet"
Yesterday we updated a webpage in Xara, and now the site won't load. This is what displays on PC's: "This page has not been exported yet. "
Cell phones/mobiles display the following:
"Forbidden. You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle this request. Apache server at Port 80."
The "downforeveryoneorjustforme" site says the site is just down for me, but it's down for everyone.
An online technician checked the Xara subfolder and thinks the problem is due to one or more index files; says there should only be one index file and thinks there is a coding error in an index file.
Has anyone had this problem and if so, please advise how to fix it. For example, is there some code that needs removing? If so, we wonder how to avoid this with future updates.
We are using an older version of Xara, MX. Could that be a factor?
Thanks.
Re: Index file problem - "This page has not been exported yet"
OK Here are a few things to check. If you duplicate the Home (index) page and do not rename it, I think it gets renamed index-1. Duplicate the page again and it gets renamed index-2. So check the Page & Layout Gallery and make sure this is not happening. If you have an About Us page, for example, change the page name to about-us.
Make sure you publish the whole site, even if you have only made changes to one page.
Browsers automatically look to see if there is an index file if all you key in is the domain name, e.g. mysite.com If the browser finds two index files, index.htm and index.html it will load the .html file, even if the .htm file is newer.

Appreciate the info :-) We only uploaded the changed pages, so publishing the whole site might help. We are curious, though . . . why is it necessary to upload the whole site (despite there being a option to only upload changed pages)?
Many thanks.
Re: Index file problem - "This page has not been exported yet"
When you make changes, Xara often renumbers the images and changes the HTML script.
I am not sure if WD 6 has this publish option, but if so, select Fast Publish (Only Changed Files). This will publish only what has been changed.

As far as I'm aware the above message is only displayed on Xara's preview. You often get this if you click on the single Preview Current Web Page icon instead of the Preview Whole Website icon.
In a browser loading the site from a server would give a 404 error, not the one above.
So it sounds to me like you're trying to view a site on your desktop from your mobile. ???

Hello there. Nope, "This page has not been exported yet" is what displays on PC's. If it's not against forum rules to post the link in question, let me know and I'll post it here. Thanks.
Re: Index file problem - "This page has not been exported yet"
No, go ahead and post the link.

Re: Index file problem - "This page has not been exported yet"
Looking at the page source, you're site has an index file containing the Page not exported yet text.

Can you attach your xar / web file?

Page displaying on my Mac/FireFox. Clearly a work in progress. The menu link mouseover has problems.
Re: Index file problem - "This page has not been exported yet"
Yes, as Paul points out the home page is now visible, but clicking on any links (offset) just leads to a this page has not been exported yet page :(
Re: Index file problem - "This page has not been exported yet"
A tech friend helped get it this far. We will upload the entire site later today and see if that does the trick. Thanks.
Re: Index file problem - "This page has not been exported yet"
Laurie, you're not doing anything weird like uploading from a Preview area instead of properly Exporting to a local folder and then FTPing from there for the entire site?
has your tech friend deleted the index_htm_files folder?
Upload your design file and I'm sure a TGer will publish it to prove it is the fault or where you are loading to.

Re: Index file problem - "This page has not been exported yet"
One thing I should point out. Xara is not an HTML editor. It is a WYSIWYG application.
If you use the internal FTP module, and provided you are publishing to the folder or sub-folder specified by your web hosting company, your site should publish fine. BUT, publish the whole site. Either using Xara's FTP utility (Publish) or by publishing your website to a folder on your computer and then uploading the entire contents of the folder via an FTP utility to your web host. And again, to the folder or sub-folder specified.

Hi there. Nope. We just uploaded the entire site and it's all up except one page (discussion forum) that always needs special attention. Our tech friend will get the forum up in due course. Thanks.
Re: Index file problem - "This page has not been exported yet"
It's up and running again, after uploading the entire site. Guess that's what we need to do every time, even if only updating one or a few pages. Thanks for the advice!
