I got HostMonster to delete all my files I had uploaded to the server and now when I go to http://www.eskimoethics.com/ all I see is the original HostMonster one, which is what I expected but now I can't even upload to http://www.eskimoethics.com/

Frontpage says that I haven't got the extension installed, which I have, or at least cpanel is saying I do. I can upload to http://eskimoethics.com/ but with the http://www. I get an error.

I really don't understand why or what I should do to fix it. Has anyone else had this problem and or know of a remedy?

Delete their index and add yours. Are you uploading using the FTP?

Periodically, the FrontPage extensions get corrupted and need to be reinstalled. This happens on a regular basis at HM; don't know why. Try DELETing the extensions, then CLEANUP the extensions, then INSTALL the extensions. If you try to just REINSTALL, it probably won't work. Go through the 3 steps: DELETE, CLEANUP, INSTALL instead.

@ tj1182 - That was the problem, I couldn't delete their index.

It didn't appear on the server, the only file that did was the index.html I uploaded to http://eskimoethics.com/ but it wouldn't appear, even after several cache / private data clears.

Which to me doesn't make sense because as far as my knowledge goes, its still the same folder / directory with or without the http://www.

I was uploading via the built in Frontpage FTP.

@ sdasevne - Yeah, that was the first thing I did, but now everything seems to be working so maybe I was just worried / complaining about nothing...

i always use c-panel's file manager to verify contents of my folders too. hidden files shown. that way i know the ftp program isnt missing anything
