Hi, I’ve just finished a make-over for an old website using freeway and the client is happy and give me the okay to upload the site. The problem is the details he’s giving me are not working and he says the information is correct. When I upload the new site - the old one appears! Help They use Livedns to host with I think. This is a cheap job in order to get his other work so I don’t want to hassle the client to much. These are the details off the client, am I missing something?

The site folder is full of crap. You should have moved all original files into an folder called ‘_old_site’ (or whatever), and than upload your site to the cleaned up site folder.
At this point the index.htm page is the default page. When you change that name to something like _index.htm, the server will automatically pick up the index.html (your page) as the default and open normally.
