Wrong Default Topic Displays

I'm using both robohelp and robohelp server 7. I have published several project to the server, and all works okay. Except...I can't get the "welcome" topic to display as my default project. I've moved the project containint that topic to the top of the server list, and set that topic as the default, but when I open the help, that's not what displays.

If I view the project through the server pod, it displays the right topic. It just doesn't display that topic when I view the help through the IP address.

Ideas???

    So you are using merged projects and your master is displaying the wrong default page? Is the page you want displayed located in the master project or one of the slaves?

    It's in the master project, in this case the one at the top of the list on roboserver. Here's the thing. Even if I delete that project from the server, it still tries to link to that topic. And, even when select a default topic before publishing in the new master, it still tries linking to the deleted project.

    I've just published everything straight to the server without the master/slave format. Is that why i can't get it to work?

    Let us go back to your answer to my first question. You said that the output did not display the correct default topic even when you generated webhelp (not webhelp pro) output. If this is the case, it has nothing to do with the server. What you are saying is that the topic listed in the "Default Topic" fild of your Single Source Layout is not the topic displayed when you open the help file. Which topic are you aiming the help call to and is it the same as your default topic?

    Does the default topic load successfully when run standalone from the server?

    No, a different topic in the master project displays.
