Mobile site not found

I have a stand-alone license for EverWeb. I have created two different web-sites and published them to two different hosts. Both sides have mobile-sites and it seems to work perfect on one site but not to work at all on the other site. On the site where it works you are automatically redirected to the mobile site when accessing the url from a mobile device. On the one where it doesn't work you are also redirected to the mobile site but the browser returns a "Not Found" error for the mobile site. I assume this has to do with the file-structure on the host, since it looks like the browser is looking for the file in the root directory rather than where it is actually placed. How can I overcome this problem? |

Your guess about what is wrong is most likely correct. However, I would have to see your website URL to know exactly what the problem is and how to fix it. In the meantime, make sure you are using version 1.2. Also make sure you have correctly published all files to your FTP server. ------------------------------- Paul EverWeb Developer |

I'm also having a problem with a mobile site. I'm hosted on a Linux server and I have the mobile page selected and the main site homepage redirect all set up as the instructional video pointing to the mobile page, but when I go the site URL I just get the main site, not the mobile page. Is this a Linux server issue or am I doing something daft ? The site is at www.deeside-railway.co.uk |

Did you look at the page with a mobile device? Or on the desktop with a screensize of less then 700pixels (systemprefs > displays ) Anyway, what's the purpose of a mobile page when there is nothing to see : http://www.deeside-railway.co.uk/mobile.html The normal pages can easily be viewed on a mobile device screen. Simply tap on the textareas or images to zoom in and out. And as long as the mobile visitor stays away from the Home page, he can view your website. |

@ Martin K. Here's how it looks on a mobile device size screen :  And zoomed in :

| Yes I looked at it with a small Android smartphone, and there's no point in fully populating the mobile pages until I know they work. I'm about to modify the menus to use drop downs and they don't work properly on Android tablets/mobiles - hence the need to set up separate mobile pages - which still don't work on my phone or tablet...... | |

This section of the EverWeb Codebox deals with mobile sites. This page details a different way to publish the site so that you can create the mobile version on a different project file and publish it to a sub domain. Here's how to create a mobile two level navigation menu. This has been made a lot easier with the introduction of master pages. You can see it in action on this Demo site. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Yes, I'm sure as you see it on this screendump: All my mobile sites have the same name as the original web-page but added "_m". If you go to "http://sak77.dk/Almindsoe_2014/velkommen_m.html" you will see the site, that the browser will redirect to, but claimes does not exist. |

The script redirects to the root : window.location = "/velkommen_m.html Should be : window.location = "/Almindsoe_2014/velkommen_m.html Since you display your pages in Almindsoe_2014 folder you should type that name in the subdirectory field of the publish settings. Then EW will use the correct path in the script. Last edit 12 years ago |

| Excuse my ignorance, but where do I find "the subdirectory field of the publish settings"? I'm on a stand-alone version and publish to a local folder from which I manually upload to the ftp-server. I can choose the folder to publish to, but how can I define that I'm in a subdirectory? | |

| Sorry, I don't know why my question was posted twice. But anyway, the subdirectory-thing seems only to be available when publishing to EverWeb. Is there anything similar I can do to make it work, when I just post to a local folder? | |
