I have a main menu item that I want to go to an external link, my blog.
It opens a new window at "www.website.com/pages/blog.php" instead of going to my exact link.
Which in turn is a 404 because it doesn't exist.
Under the admin I have it set to External Link with the absolute address. "http://www.website.com/blog"
Please help.
Hi,
sorry, but I don't understand this kind of problem.
You create a new page, choose a name, choose type "menu link". In the next window you select "external link" on the left an fill in the url on the right side. Did you do that this way?

For the Menulink to work you need the complete path to the blogs index file like this:
http://www.website.com/blog/index.php

yes thats exactly what I did, and a window opens up with an "Internal Server Error". It goes to a page that doesn't exist.

This didn't change anything. I can set the external link to http://www.google.com and it still goes to pages/blog.php
Ok now I'm getting an odd error.
I think overall it has something to do with my domain's cpanel and a database....
I createded a new page just for kicks on the menu... and it is there and I can edit it on the WB Admin. It shows up on the menu on the live site... but when I click it, it get an "Internal Server Error".
How can i fix this?
Ok. I've narrowed it down to a....
"Premature end of script header" error on my Error Logs.
What does that mean now?
FIXED.
For some reason on my FTP access the newly created pages were set to 777 instead of 755.
I changed everything to 755 and it all works.
All problems solved.
