index.html vs index.htm - 10/18/2004 21:17:23
I recently changed hosting server for our site. When I published the site on the new server I had the following appear at the bottom of the publishing log:
Copied home page from "index.htm" to "index.html".
Then on the next publishing I got:
Copied home page from "index.htm" to "index.html".
Merged navigation structure.
Why is Frontpage creating an index.html on the new server? All manner of problems a caused by it doing so - conflicts etc.

Thanks for the advice. I actually resolved the problem a different way - I discover that the hosting server is configured to make index.html the default home page. Frontpage detected that at pblishing time and created a copy of the local index.htm which it published as index.html
As a fix, I renamed index.htm on my local machine to index.html - set that as the home page and recalculated the hyperlinks and finally published. It seems to have solved most of the problems I reported, but I am getting a lot of false "unmatched " files on the server, if I try to manually copy those files from the local machine to the remote in FP, they report as being matched, but then if I refresh the remote list - they are unmatched once again.

That was stored in the .htaccess, correct?

mojos,
A peculiarity of UNIX servers - same files on a Windows server show unchanged after successful publishing/synchronizing. Learn to disregard.
