I think I have all my files and settings correct. When I do a Test it says working OK. So I published the website ([Mosdens.com](http://Mosdens.com)) and get and error message when I try to go to it . The web is obviously seeing my old website last used in 2023. Not sure what I’m doing wrong (this time 😃 ) ![index of](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/4/c/4c917fcbf709432a233c36adfdec61e65e7531b7.jpeg) ---

It looks like you’re likely publishing to the wrong location on your server. A screenshot of your publishing settings with username and password hidden can help as there are a few common web root directories we can recommend. Who is your host? ---

What is the long number after the address, the link you gave is the root? Did you create a directory with that number or does your provider point to that We can’t see the entire number? ---

I’m republishing my site files which takes a surprisingly long time given that my site isn’t that big.. I also went in and deleted the old files from my HD. I’ll try again once this has finished. [Next page](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/publishing-problems-for-mosdens-com/52477.md?page=2)
