[supergee]

Can anyone help me im trying to put a custom page at the start of my homeser pages ive named it test1.html and put it in the hs/html/ directory but when i the goto to my web page it gives http 404 not found looking on the hs log it says web server error 404, cannot serve file c:\program files\homeseer\html\test1.html i know its basics but i cant figure it out

Cheers supergee

I'm assuming that you told HS about your custom web page by going to View > Options > Web Server > Customize web site. In the Link textbox under Page 1, you're only entering the file name test1.html, right? Not the full path. Did you double-check spelling (.htm vs. .html)??

yeah ive checked that ive even put two different pages in the directory but cant get either to work i have successfully linked an external page to an .asp page in the directory to trigger an event but i wanted to host a few pages of my own in homeseer and yeah i just entered the file name ie. test1.html any other ideas

Supergee,
Here's a screen shot of the syntax. I have a page in my HS/HTML directory named mypage.htm. The easiest way to test it is to select the world globe icon on the HS GUI.

How are you trying to access the page? You should be entering something like http://192.168.0.1:8080/test1.html, where 192.168.0.1 is HS' IP address and 8080 is the port set for HS' Web server.

[supergee]

my port is 80. when i normally go to my web page i just type http://192.168.1.4 and im there but when i go View > Options > Web Server > Customize web site and click the page 1 displays first before status page i get the error but i did try http://192.168.1.4:80/test1.html but still nothing

[supergee]

rupp i have read that this mypage.html should be in my html directory but i have nothing it would of been good to try out

also i am getting the password prompt come up

cheers supergee

[independentpete]

Ah ha!!! You should get the password prompt, unless you are accessing from a computer that is allowed to bypass the password. Are you entering the HS account setup for Web access or the guest account?

Username: guest
Password: guest

hi guys further to my last i can get a .asp page to run but not html does this make sense.

Try the htm extension instead and see if that works.

dont understand copied an asp page and html linking to it, From a thread, it used the title index.html and it works fine is it something to do with the title
