Hi Guys,

I'm pulling my hair out with this problem. I installed Joomla successfully so I could replace the site that is currently there. However when I tried to edit stuff and than click ''View Site'' all i see is the old site. How do I put the replace that old site with the new site I making in Joomla? Just to let you know, I am new to this and doing it DIY style so I can save money. All I want do is make the site I made go live instead of old 1. I cannot even preview the site I am making because when I click ''View Site'' it is the old one.

Any advice guys? Please help because I tried everything google, youtube etc

The site is lsireland.com by the way.

Thank you all ;)

Have you renamed or removed the root index.html file?

Do you have both your old site and your new Joomla site in the root?

I'm glad to hear that you got it sorted out. Now please go back to your original post. At the beginning of the subject line, add the word [SOLVED!] and the green circle check mark.
