"broken page"

Help please!! I have a broken page on my site.
This is the url I get instead. registration.freeola.net/errors/e.php?ec=404
I've uploaded the folder with all docs again about an hour ago. Its still broken. Should it take this long or what else should I do to fix it?
Thanks

If you change the link to match the file using DL's example - don't forget it's not only the Home page link that needs changing!



NB
As we don't know what files/content you should have there could well be a gravity3.htm and gravity.htm in which case you just need to FTP the file to the Freeola server...

Simples ... (Sorry Hmmm)
Here is the part of your Home page code that is causing the problem - the menu code on the left of the page:


<tr>
<td height="25" class="menuhead" bgcolor="#000000" bordercolor="#000000"><strong><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">

<a class="menuhead" href="portfolio/gravity3.htm">
<font color="#CCFFFF">Product Portfolio</font> </a></font></strong></td>
</tr>



This is the line that is giving you the problem - the link from Product Portfolio. Find it and remove the '3' from this bit:

<a class="menuhead" href="portfolio/gravity3.htm">

and then save your home page as is and then upload your home page again.

:¬)

However, as Hmmm has explained, check the exact name of the file to which this link points and make sure that this name is matched in both link and file name.

Please see my last reply...


Either change the links to match the file OR the file to match the links!


[s]Hmmm...[/s]

This site was built for me a few years ago but just started maintaining this myself. I think the hyperlink from the homepage must be broken - would that be right?

That's because the page links point to 'gravity3' which doesn't exist.

You either have to rename the file adding a '3' OR change the links removing the 3 :¬)


[s]Hmmm...[/s]

Now i', confused! When I use the link you have just posted I view the portfolio index page and other pages behind. But if I just go straight to the homepage and try to open the portfolio page - i then get the error message that the page is broken. ????

portfolio/gravity3.htm doesn't exist.

www.filtrationandseparation.co.uk/portfolio/gravity.htm - no '3' works fine :¬)

Is that the file or should there be different versions?

[s]Hmmm...[/s]

Thanks for the quick responses. The site url is http://www.filtrationandseparation.co.uk/ and the broken page is the products portfolio.

Hi and welcome to the forums!

Once a page is in place via FTP it will be available immediately.

But as you are getting a 404 Page Not Found error it looks like you have an error/typo/bad link somewhere. Feel free to let us know the website and page address if you need more help.

EDIT: Beaten by DL...

Welcome to the Forums, whattheheck :¬)

Which page is 'broken'? The home page (which seems logical) or a page within your site? Perhaps you could post the URL of your site?
