Index and folder name conflict
I have rebuilt an htm page using an index block and velocity formatting. Page is good to go. However, when I went to rename the page from a temporary name to the existing page name I ran into a problem. I discovered that the issue is that the folder name and page name are the same. The easy fix would be to rename the page something else. However, the existing page name is over 10 years old and has a very high volume of traffic. I would like to avoid having to rename it and I am wondering if there is a way to get around it.

Hi,
The only other way around this would be to rename the containing folder. If you decide to go this route, you'll likely want to either:
OR
This should ensure that all links on your site have been updated to point to the 'new' folder.
If you decide to make a change like this, I would recommend creating a backup of your database beforehand just so that you can always restore a copy should anything go wrong.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Why can't the page and folder have the same name?

There are a couple of different reasons for this behavior. The first one is that some remote servers do not allow for a file to have the same name as the parent folder. The second problem deals with linking in Cascade Server. If a user were to link to either the page or the folder, the system wouldn't know which asset the link was really intended to point to.
Hope this helps to clear things up.
