senorbill Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I am having trouble publishing my own domain on Heliohost.com from RapidWeaver. My domain is jadepillow.com and the files are in my account The "getting started wizard" says the public_html directory is: "/home/reiki/public_html/" so I put this as my site path (I have also tried just "public_html") My web address is: http://jadepillow.com/ I get a listing of filrs on the website by that's all. Since I have tried a few things I probably have too many files uploaded and duplicated now. Should I delete them and start again. Can someone please help me with this?

Byron Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 This is the public_html directory: http://jadepillow.com/ That's the directory where you build your site. You can add directories to your public_html just like the images directory and the cgi-bin directory that's already there. What you need to do to keep from showing your public_html files is to create a index.html file and call it your home page and then when somebody goes to this site: http://jadepillow.com/ they will see your index.html page or your home page.

Thanks for the quick response, but I am still having trouble. In the Heliohost File Manager I copied the contents of the old "home file" to the "index.html" folder and deleted the "home file". Then in Rapidweaver I made the site path "index.html" as well as my home page. What maybe the confusion is that in my C-Panel Stats my Main Domain jadepillow.com Home Directory /home/reiki I have tried to change the Home directory to index.html without success. Could this be my problem? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 You don't want to put anything in: /home/reiki only you can see that directory. You want to put everything inside this directory: /home/reiki/public_html which is this: jadepillow.com If you make a file (not a folder) called index.html it will be your home page for this domain jadepillow.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now It works. I deleted all the files/folders in Heliohost In Rapidweaver I put Server: Jadepillow.com Path: /public_html Page 1 File Name: index.html and then I republished everything and it looks good. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
