Everything disappears

tme · 05-26-2009, 08:44 PM

So, I'm using Expression Web 2 and when i edit pages i can see both html-code and wysiwyg and all looks perfect. But as soon as i upload files to server everything disappears: just a white page with no text, pictures or nothing. Also when i preview any page there's the same problem.

I'm not very experienced web developer, so i don't know very much about anything. If someone could help me on anyway, i would be very happy and thankful.

You have to clarify a bit. What do you mean when you say everything disappears? Are you saying that you try to go to the URL and it just reveals a blank page? My guess it that you uploaded your index file to the wrong location.

In your FTP client, just look for whatever is the main page that is blank. Hosting services usually put one there for you automatically. It is sometimes just labeled Home.html or index.html. Download the black page, copy and paste your HTML etc. into it, and then reupload to the same directory.

If what LouTheDesigner says doesn't solve your issue....

You could always right click on the blank page and select view source, or in some browsers you may need to goto the 'view menu' up at the top and select 'page source' If you see all your code in the source then something may be wrong with the code or the way it was uploaded or the htaccess file...

Sometimes uploading with either the FTP option for Binary or Text selected or unselected will solve this issue. I've seen that happen in rare instances. Whatever option (binary or text) is set in your FTP preferences for Binary or Text mode upload, try the other option.

It could also be an .htaccess issue. What's the link to your site? Are you able to view images or other such things that you upload without issue?

I rebooted my computer and now everything is running fine. But thanks anyway.

ahhh, Next time try hitting CTRL-F5 in your browser window, this will force a reload of the website in your browser.
