Getting Started Video: Creating Pages

Hello,

I am just starting with Perch and am working through the Getting Started Videos. I get to the "Creating Pages" video and am having some trouble with creating a new page from a Master page. Everything appears to work as suggested except that the file for the page is not written in the correct folder.

I found the page written OUTSIDE of the root folder of the site. My testing server has sites under 'www' and this test site is in a folder called 'swift'. The file was written at the root of 'www' rather than under 'swift'. I noticed this in the database table where all other pages have '/swift/..." this one just has '/our-history.php'.

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Thank you, Kevin

Are you saying you're building a site in a subfolder?

Yes. But even so, in the tutorial a subfolder for the 'about' pages is created presumably to house them and the file is still placed well outside of that.

I created a Virtual Host to make the sub folder the root folder and everything seems to work as it should.

I am curious if there is a way to direct where new pages are made. With my limited knowledge, all new pages seem to be placed in the root. I figured out how to move them but is there a behaviour that can be set up to state that when a page is created from a certain Master Page, to locate them in a specific folder?

Each page as a Subpage Folder option. When a new page is created as a child of an existing page, this option is used to place the file.

You can create a subfolder for each video separation. https://babasupport.org/routers/apple-airport-customer-service/297
