Although this forum is actually for the browser plug in, you have no appropriate forum for site advisor server side issues so I am posting here as several others have done in the past.
I have a domain (vernonjohnson.net) which is both registered and fully hosted with dreamhost.com on a shared LAMP server. When I attempt to complete the owner verification process it fails.
The error it returns is...
Error Verifying Site
Could not verify the Web site file
vernonjohnson.net*************************************.txt (asterisks replace actual characters)
for the Web site vernonjohnson.net. Please be sure you have placed the verification file in the root Web directory of your site, using the exact file name listed above.
I have verified that the file is present and publicly readable. It is empty however, should it have content?
Is this error generated because I do not have access to the actual physical "root Web directory on the Web server"? The rootmost directory that I have ftp access to is the "/home/username/" directory. If this is the problem, your instruction are insucfficient to correct it. If it is not the cause of the error, than what is?
Once again, this domain is hosted on a shared server running LAMP. What is required to correct this error?
