You do not upload RM7 Web Pages to MyRootsMagic.com. The entire database is uploaded to the server which runs PHP scripts or whatever with a data connection to your uploaded .rmgc file in order to generate web pages on-the-fly as demanded by a browser. So you cannot upload RM7 web pages to another host because your RootsMagic software does not generate any (or, if it does, it is only the home page).

Tom, It seems to me that I need to do a bit more effort in learning here, and maybe try to upload (if that is a correct term for it) a RM7 page to "take it for a test drive" so to speak. At my age though, this old (72) geezer doesn't always learn new technology very readily sometimes. :-( David -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Holden via Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2015 11:19 PM To: Jerry Bryan; [email protected] Subject: Re: [RMagic] The new "MyRootsMagic" webpage for RM7 You do not upload RM7 Web Pages to MyRootsMagic.com.
