Trying to Get a Site up - Help!

Ok, this is probably going to be a dumb question to most of you. I have been putting a site together with Kompozer. This is my first attempt at anything outside of wordpress. I have spent quite a bit of time putting together a series of pages, and tonight I decided I was ready to upload (Filezilla.) Everything uploaded fine.

Now for some reason, the only page that will come up in my browser when I test them is the home page.

Only a few of my pages have links from the home page, like the privacy, disclaimer, etc.

The rest of the pages are set up to be arrived at directly such as:

http://index/page

None of those secondary pages will come up, I am getting an internal server error.

What am I doing wrong?

    It seems like something is wrong with your link settings / formatting.

    From what I can see, it looks like it is interpreting your relative URL as an absolute URL (and including "h*tp://").

    It would help a lot more if we could see an example. I could probably tell you why then.

    You need to post a link to your site so we can have a look at the code....

    Your problem could be almost anything, so without the links, we are all just guessing...

    Have a Great Day!

    Ok, I actually think that I have figured it out. If I enter the page url with .html at the end, it works. Without it, I get the error.

    Does that make sense?

      Yes. "http://domain.com/page" is the path to a directory, not a file. Add .htm or .html (or .php or .jpg or any other extension), and you've just specified a file.

    You CAN get a page by using "...domain.com/page", but only because the site owner has put an index.htm (or similarly named page) in that directory, just the way you put an index page on your domain's root; "domain.com". So, the address you were really taken to was "...domain.com/directory/index.htm".

    Just to help clarify; the reason you were getting the internal server error is because you were trying to go to a directory that didn't exist.
