Hi,
| build simple websites using note pad and HTML 4.01 transitional. I now have a customer who wants me to move his website (which was created with Cold Fusion) over to my server .
| have saved the entire website one page at a time and created the necessary folders for the photos and changed all but one page of the website to HTML 4.01. I had to change most of the file names by using an underscore in place of ? and = signs so I could save it to my hard drive. The entire website is now working with the exception of one page (the request Information page).
There are a couple of things I am not sure of.
1) all of the HTML files that I saved have names that start with “index.cfm filename“, is there a reason for that? I don’t see a file name of just “index” for the start of the website.
2) One of the pages is called “request info” and has a place for people to put comments and enter their name, state (from a drop down dialog box) etc. How do I handle that? Is there something I need to put into a CGI folder on the server? I have never done that sort of thing and need a little help on it.
The old webmaster sent me a bunch of files, everything that is not a .jpeg or a .gif file has “filename.cfm“ (in contrast to the “index.cfm filename” of the files I saved to disk from the Internet). I can’t seem to get those files to open, (not that I really need them at this point) nothing was in folders.
The main question is how do I get the "Request Information" page to work?
Any assistance appreciated, thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Daniel
