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

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.
