| Hi there,
I'm a student taking Dreamweaver fro the first time. I built my site
originally through netsol (before the class) using their premade templates.
Now that I'm learning Dreamweaver, I'm trying to build my own site. Some of my
old pages are appearing high in the search engines and I want to try to
recreate the links. www.mysite.com/pages/2. Everything I've tried in
Dreamweaver won't let me do this. It says it doesn't like the /. My teacher
is drawing a blank. Does anyone have an idea as to what I should do?
Thanks.

| Hi,
I forgot to say that I spoke to netsol and they said they can't redirect my pages without messing up my new site. It's now being hosted by ipowerweb. :-)
Thanks.

What do you mean when you say 'its says it doesnt like the /."? What
message are you getting, what is happening?
Have you defined a new site and created folders within the site named
pages and 2?
Any more details its a bit vague at the moment.

The first thing to learn about the web as a web professional is to STAY FAR
FAR FAR AWAY FROM ANYTHING RELATED TO NETSOL.
Trust me on that one.

| Sorry, I'm still trying to figure this out.
When I try to save the file (by going to file, save as) with the name
"pages/3" Dreamweaver responds with:
pages/3.html
The above file name is invalid.
I don't know any other way to get the final link:
Http://www.mysite.com/pages/3
I hope this helps.
Thank you.

| You can't put a backslash in a file name. To create that you'd name the
page: 3.html and put it in a directory named "pages."

| It has to be .htm or html so it know / your computer knows what kind of file it
is. when it is on the the web it usually is something.com/home.html and so on.
I think I answerd your question if not respond..

| the error message is exactly correct
You can't use the / slash in a file or folder name.
If you want the final link to be exactly:
Http://www.mysite.com/pages/3
then do this:
Create a New folder, named :
pages
Inside that, create a new folder, named:
3
inside that, Save your FILE, with the filename of:
index.html (or whatever default filename your hosting uses)
When people go to the url:
Http://www.mysite.com/pages/3
they will be seeing
Http://www.mysite.com/pages/3/index.html
/ the slash character is what is used to denote directories in urls. You
can not use it in the name of a file or a folder.
for instance, a url of
http://mysite.com/fred/ethel/lucy/ricky/page.html
each of those is a subfolder, nested inside of the one above it.
mysite.com
fred <--folder
ethel <--folder
lucy <--folder
ricky <--folder
page.html <-- file

That's probably the easiest. Another way to do that would be with
mod_rewrite, if it's on an Apache server.
