I have my hosting with hostgator. When I publish my site via VSD, it shows everything was uploaded and published successfully. But, when I go to view my site online there is a 404 Error. Am I missing something? Any ideas?

I can't hear what I'm looking at.

It sounds like your files have gone out of sync. Here is what I would like you to do.

1. Go to the Publish Menu and select FTP Account Settings and select your FTP Account.

2. Verify that all information is correct and the Remote Folder path is not empty. Typically you would enter in a / or /public_html here but you need to confirm with your hosting provider what the correct path is. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THIS PATH IS CORRECT.

3. Go to the Publish Menu and select Choose a Publishing Destination and select your FTP Account and then click Save.

4. Finally, go to the Publish Menu and select Re-Sync Website.

With any luck, everything should be back to normal.

I was actually missing the / before public_html. Figures it would be something small like that!

It's only simple after you find out what the cause was.:) Until then it's a major headache.:lol: Glad you got it working.;)
