   Just getting started with PL. Very cool so far.

   Integrated my first site and I noticed that the editor keeps inserting a " /default.aspx " in front of all the paths for image files. This results in broken images on the live site. I can go in and remove this path manually but that will get real old after a while and pretty much a disaster for clients to do themselves. Why could this be happening? All text revisions are working as expected, just the images are giving me problems.

   Also noticed that under the settings tab my Sites Home URL keeps getting that same " /default.aspx " added to the end of it. How can I adjust or edit this path so the images are pulled from the correct directory? Could it maybe be the whole .net server side thing?

   Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

   swfmonkey,

   Sorry for the wait! If /default.aspx is getting added to you directory than you might not have a file specified to begin with. It's important that under Site Home Page URL you are defining an index or main file path e.g. index.html -

   Let me know if that helps, the next step would be for us to log on to your account and see if we can see anything else strange.

   Hi Adam,

   I realize you guys are working the startup hours so Thanks for the reply.

   I keep getting an error (This is not a valid homepage URL) when trying to specify any other page under Site Home Page URL. Although it will accept "welcome.htm" under FTP home page path. It may simply be that PL is incompatible with the platform my site is already running on. What I'm attempting to do is add another editable layer above my existing cms.

   What would you need from me to login to my PL account?

   Hi there, just took a look at your account. Your homepage FTP path does not match your index page URL file (the first field).

   For the index page, you have "default.aspx" and then for FTP path you have "home.htm"

   So it looks like you have some kind of URL rewriter working here, as I can't figure out what your FTP structure looks like. What's the name of the actual page file that is the homepage?

   Hi Emil, thanks for taking the time off your busy schedule to try and help us.

   Yes, there is a URL rewriter at work here. It's part of the core platform (.net framework) the site sits on and can not be avoided. All attempts to insert a different index page URL file to better match the FTP index page path have failed. Since the main FTP file synching is established by that original index page then I can't see this working for what we need to do.

   Thanks again for trying.

   No problem - that makes sense, but is there a real HTML page somewhere behind the scenes?

   Each page is represented by a unique HTM page which are fully accessible through FTP in the main directory. Although the framework rewrites them with a vanity url. So home.htm becomes simply home. If you try typing home.htm in the browser it just throws up a 404 error. So somehow that rewrite URL is whats actually published.

   Thats what I don't get; if I can see the HTM files by way of FTP why can't PL. It's like PL doesn't recognize what the start pages real name is (the HTM version) so it then fails to view the rest of the HTM file names.

    Hey @swfmonkey,

    I was having exactly the same issues getting Pagelime to find my files, like Emil says at the moment it needs to access them directly so rewrites confuse the CMS.

    I have a temporary fix here, if you can change your .htaccess file at your end:

    Hope this helps!
