I am currently working on a site which is built in using a Custom Designed CMS (there are files with .asp extension). This site is really old and seems like running on IIS Server, which I don't have the access. User asked me to add few items. I made changes to index.html file and uploaded to the server, however, the changes don't seem to take in affect.
So my question to Pros, is, do i have to restart the IIS instance? I tried to change the index.html existing content such as Search Bar's placeholder text from Search to search, uploaded the page and nothing happened. Also added new p tags and no luck.
I have never dealt with IIS site. Any suggestions? One thing for sure I can see is that the Home Page in Custom backend is pointing to the index.html file (which I am altering).
Not at all. I does require a reload/refresh at the client-side though.

when I go to my website directory it shows all my files and not to my landing page, is there a way to fix this? I have tried everything even looked through the internet without any clear response. I am close to finishing my website I only need to resolve this problem.
Thank you!
The issue seems to be that you are not on the HTML file, but on the folder.
To fix this issue, you have to redirect yourself to the HTML landing page.
/ar/home.html
This should show your HTML landing page correctly rendered.
Tip: Normally, the main page is called index.html by convention. This can be helpful. For example, the Live Server extension on Visual Studio Code will automatically go to index.html if the file isn't specified. Other hosting services, like GitHub Pages, also do the same.
None of the extensions, IDEs and hosting services listed above are sponsored! They are just used for the sole purpose of examples.
In conclusion, you need to go to the HTML file, instead of the folder.
so, i've ben hunting for the answer, and seems like i can't get this to work, i wanted to make so that, i have a browser page already made in html, and when i click a link in there, it opens a chosen folder on the computer, but i don't want it to open on just this computer's path, I wanted to open a folder that is inside the main folder, so that anyone that has the same files as I do, can open it, i tried < a href="File_path">, tried putting < a href="file:///(file path)">, tried like i have in excel ../../'file path', and can't see where is the problem, anyone can help?
Here you need to use a "file" protocol to link a file in the HTML like,
Link
The browser may or may not open the file due to the security setting. You can click the right button and choose "copy link address" and then paste it into the browser.
There are security implications of showing a local file/folder from an website. It may work when the page is held locally but when on a server it will be failing. However definitely not any chosen folder anywhere in your PC.
If you require to achieve such you need custom implementation using a programming language like ASP .NET like shown in this example.

You haven't mention much details on what web server you are using. But if it's IIS (Windows) you may consider allowing directory browsing which may allow to show a sub directory under your website.
I am in a unique position where my client is at a disagreement with the company that built her site and is hosting it then the company took down the site. She needs me to replicate her site as is. I was able to find her site on the following link which is not the domain that was taken down but still shows the site. Is there anyway to replicate this? I tried HTTrack and saving the pages from the browser but both did not replicate everything.

For anyone who might come across a similar problem, I used HTTrack to copy all files on a folder on my desktop. The flash banner did not copy so I right clicked on the page in firefox and chose "view page info" then clicked on media and selected the embed for the flash banner then saved as. In netbeans I created a new project and copied and pasted all the files into the root folder, then moved the swf file into the flash folder and I had an exact replicate of the site and a very happy client who got to keep her site. There might be easier ways to do it but this was what I did.
Recently I've been tasked with redesigning a website for the current company I'm working at. I've been using weebly to make the site, and then exporting the HTML to be re-hosted on the company's servers.
However, I've noticed that some functionality in weebly's code has stopped working. I imagine this might be due to weebly hosting some elements on their own servers, but this is merely a beginners best guess.
1. The picture for the logo on the banner does not appear once the HTML is rehosted
For comparison, here's the site while hosted on weebly:
http://mjmacoustique.weebly.com/
and the site on the company's servers:
http://www.mjm.qc.ca/redesign2015/
When weebly hosts, the ''MJM'' image should be on the top left and function as a return to home page button when clicked. However, when it's hosted on the company's server, the image is not found.
2. On Firefox, the background image of the home page is replaced with an all black background
When opened in firefox, it fails to load the background image of the main page.
Any help or solutions to these problems would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I can help with question #1: the logo is hosted on weebly's servers, but in the html it's written in a shortcut method like this example: /uploads/2/6/8/5/26851316/1434298489.png"
the easy workaround would be to keep the weebly version of the site working, in in the html change the src value of the missing images to something like this http://mjmacoustique.weebly.com/uploads/2/6/8/5/26851316/1434298489.png
So you haveto add the http://YOURSITE.weebly.com before all the src values of your images.
otherwise, just load all the images you need on a blank page of the site on your servers, copy image urls of those and replace the urls in the html with that.
Hope that helps?
The firefox issue might also be solved if all your src values are linked correctly but I cannot be sure about that.
When I tried exporting a site from weebly, some assets were missing from the zip it produced. This resulted in some images failing to appear because they simply weren't there. I don't know how often this happens (or if it happens only for some sites), but weebly's export feature definitely seems to have bugs.
I worked around this by using wget to recursively fetch the content that weebly was hosting. Then I hand-copied the missing assets (and only the missing assets) from the directory structure saved by wget and merged them into the directory structure from weebly's export zip. This is time-consuming, but necessary since the directory structure fetched by wget includes dynamically-generated content (meta data for weebly's editor, assets with decorated names, etc) that you probably don't want in the content you host elsewhere.
I'm downloading one page from reddit and saving it locally:
http://www.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/comments/2uomrv/meta_sjws_are_reportedly_working_with_admins_to/
The HTML is identical in my test.html file, but when I open the local file in a browser, the page display is all messed up. Right Nav disappears, etc.
Normally I'd assume this is a CSS issue (and it definitely could be) but there are only three CSS files in the document, and they are all hosted remotely on www.redditstatic.com -- so they should still be working, right?
Is there something else I'm missing? Is redditstatic somehow smart enough to not serve CSS when I request it from my local machine?
What else could be causing the display issues? How should I troubleshoot?
Reddit uses external CSS, JavaScript, etc. to make it look as feel as it is. The website won't function correctly unless you download them all, even locally because the HTML doesn't know where to find the called file.
