asked on

Index page of website is zero length, and I can't copy the correct page to the site.

I was making a minor change to our website, and suddenly the home page, index.htm is blank.  It looks OK in DreamWeaver but when I checked with WS_FTP Pro, it is zero length.  The local file size is 9 KB.  Using WS_FTP I changed the local0 name temporarily from index.htm to index.html, and copied it to the server.  I now have two zero length files, index.htm and index.html published.  The website is http://www.sandiegofestivalchorus.org.  The other parts of the website work, such as http://www.sandiegofestivalchorus.org/about.htm, http://www.sandiegofestivalchorus.org/events.htm, and
http://www.jfistere.the-dreaming.net/SDFC/VideoMoments.htm (different server).

In case space on the server was a problem, I removed a large .ppt file from the server.  I was still unable to publish or copy a file there.

Our concert is coming up this Sunday and we need our website!  Help needed urgently!

Thanks,
John Fistere

Bear in mind that this is the local code.  It becomes zero length on the server.

John
As a test, I copied different 6KB file to the server using WS_FTP Pro, and it zeroed out the file on the server.  (It was a file I didn't care about.)

I was on the phone simultaneously with our conversation.  A couple of humongous files had found their way to the server, and my quota was exceeded.  Deleted them and problem solved.  He solved the problem before I saw your message.  How should I close this discussion?

... on the phone with the server administrator...
It is probably blank because there is  an HTML comment in the styles.

<style type="text/css">
<!--

CSS uses /*  ...  */  for comments

Try getting rid of the <!-- And  --> inside the style the and re-upload

<!-- And  --> are not problems but they are left over from when you had to put CSS in comment tags for old browsers.  I still use that method without problems... too lazy to change what comes up automatically in my editor.
It was a disk quota problem.  How should I close the question when the problem was solved by the server admin?
I think you can just have it deleted.  Or select your comment ID:37240490 as the solution if you want it kept in the database.
Or you could give the points to Dave for suggesting you call the host.:^)
