I have a website say xyz.com running in Exponential.I want to create an entirely new static html page say "info.html" page(which has its own images,javascript,css etc..).So after adding this page the url "xyz.com/info.html" should display this page.Thanks in advance.

Two options:

1) Via Exponential:
- Create a new Object (e.g. from Folder class) with desired name, e.g. http://xyz.com/info
- Create an override rule in override.ini.append.php for this newly created node

# Override for my static page
[static_page]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=my-static-page.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[node]=<node_id>

- place your template in yourdesign/override/templates/my-static-page.tpl and put your desired html-code in it
- you may also want to have a different pagelayout.tpl, so repeat the last two steps for pagelayout.tpl
- clear the cache

2) via apache:
- just place the info.html, images + css where you want on your webserver, e.g. /info.html /info/styles.css /info/image.png
- update your apache rewrite rules and add the following to your vhost config:

RewriteRule ^/info\.html - [L]
RewriteRule ^/info/.* - [L]

Hope this helps.


Best regards,
