double index pages

[badhairday]

I am in the process of learning XWD with this forums help. Having searched it I can't find an answer to my little problem. Can someone explain what I am doing wrong

Each time I export my web pages to HDD then publish them I get double entries in the folders.
EG
[folder] Index_htm_files
[folder] Index_html_files
[file]Index
[file] index

They are also on the hosting site too

I also get this in my browser after I do publish !
Index of /
[ICO] Name Last modified Size Description
[TXT] index.htm 14-Mar-2010 20:42 3.3K
[DIR] index_htm_files/ 14-Mar-2010 20:42 -

If I then click the first index I get my web page..odd!

Hi,
there is two versions of 'Index' one is Index with Capital 'I' the other with small 'i'. You are not exporting with consistant names as Xara treats Index.htm and index.htm as different websites.

I discovered that I was naming the index file,index.html and thats when the double entries happened.

I have noticed that the website is saved on the HDD as a .htm file not html and this seems to be causing host server side problems.

Looking at the dropdown menu when it comes to exporting websites to HDD I can see no option for html only.

Do you think this might be a hosting problem ?

Apache server (for example) will look for *.html / *.htm / *.default.html / *.default.htm

The type that loads first is set in the apache / iis config (the host sys admin can change the order)
By default Xara html filter will write *.htm
I stick with that.
