Hi --
I'm trying to debug a problem with static pages in MT 4.23. I am unable to correctly specify the URL for new static page created through MT's user interface. I am trying to create an About page for blog that should appear at:
http://www.myblog.com/about/index.php
In the MT user interface, I specify "/about/" as the folder, and "index" as the filename (the .php appears to be hardcoded in the UI -- I can't edit it). After saving, this page is built at:
http://www.myblog.com/about/index/index.php
If I change the filename to "index2", it appears at
http://www.myblog.com/about/index2/index.php
I can't figure out why this is happening -- any suggestions on how to debug this further?
Thanks!
Ramon

Sounds like you're using the "basename/index.html" mapping. Just stop naming it index if that's the mapping you're using. In in order for that mapping to work, MT will generate a folder with the name that is in the filename field and the HTML will be dumped into index.html or index.php. If you want a page at /about/ with that mapping, you have to assign it no parent folder, and just name the output file "about." The HTML generated will be automatically put into /about/index.php.
