Child Pages not Creating
Permalink
I'm completely new to design software.
I've always designed my sites the old-fashioned way; with notepad and thousands of line of code, but since HTML has become boring, and Java and CSS are in use commonly more and more, I have decided to try this application.
My problem is that after I make child pages, they don't appear in their folders on the server.
In Dashboard/Sitemap, I can view the index file fine, but when I try to view them on the site itself, I just get an input file not found; and rightly so since the folder that the editor sets for the index file is empty.
Where/how do I get these child pages into their respective directories?
Thank you.

Everything is set up and working fine. It's the auto-nav on my page that's picky. It want's to link tohttp://www.mysite.com/contact http://www.mysite.com/blog, etc. In the page properties, I tried removing the page path in attributes, but it automatically adds it back.
If it's supposed to propogandate to a link created by the program (which are already created), what's the trick to getting to them when someone clicks the link from the home page? I can't get any further until I figure it out. Thanks again.
Do I have to change the page path to
index.php?cid=420 or whatever shows up on the particular child page when I view it in edit mode? I tried but it removes special characters.
You could go look at it if it might help you understand better.
I have the main navigation linking to folders, but the sidebar i would like to link to pages I made in C5 instead of external folders.

The problem WAS C5. It wrote to my .htaccess file for pretty URL's and broke my database with sloppy code. I turned off pretty URL's and cleared all the Concrete URL additions from .htaccess and it works fine.
I bought CoffeeCup Visual Web Designer and will just be using that; great support team... now I see why this application is "free".

It means that your url-rewrite rules tell php to read an input file where no input file is. Wrong Permission and/or ownership of folders/files on your (s)ftp server (where you upload your files) can also lead to this situation.
(If you use another server other than Apache like nginx, you have a problem with your vhost's configuration file. That usualy sits in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mysite.conf)
(I am not sure if I understand you well, in Concrete5 child pages can be acccessed through your sitemap, or by creating an autonav block that links to the child pages. In your sitemap you can just drag-n-drop pages into other pages to create "directories". Those aren't real directories and will not get created anywhere in your Filesystem, but in your Database. What you see aren't files and directories, but fields in a database table that represent pages and collections.)
I hope I was of help to you. Ask if you don't know.
