Problem getting started with Backlight

I am transitioning from my CE4 site to Backlight. I purchased Backlight and Pages and installed everything. I created a subfolder in my current website (/backlight-temp) so I could keep my CE4 site going while I designed and tested my Backlight site. I created an album in LR, and the resulting galleries folder shows up in the /backlight-temp folder. I tried to modify the default home page (including specifying that it is to be an index page), and no index page shows up in my /backlight-temp folder. Shouldn't it? If not, then where? I'd like to have the page loaded in one window as I design in another window. But I need to know where that index page is located. Please help.

Re: Problem getting started with Backlight

Did you upload the index.php and the .htaccess files to the /backlight-temp/ folder?
Did you install the backlight/ folder into the /backlight-temp/ folder?

Do you have a /galleries/ folder? This is where the albums you published should appear.

links to sites always help too.

Re: Problem getting started with Backlight

I didn't notice the index.php file in the zip. I just uploaded it and it now works as I expect. Thanks Rod!!!
