# Trouble adding static Page

 * Hello,
 * I was wondering if I can get a helping hand on something. I’m trying to create
   a static page (a link to a static .html file). When I create new page, the URL
   that is linked to is:
 * [http://www.(mysite)](http://www.(mysite)).com/index.php/our-picks/
 * Now, even though I upload the file to the main directory, I get “/index.php/”
   in the path (as you can see above) and when I try and click on the new link that
   is created, I get a message saying “No input file specified.”
 * Is there another way to link to a file outside WP or am I doing something wrong?(
   Or is it some kind of bug? (least likely)
 * I hope I’ve been clear enough in stating my problem. Thanks in advance for your
   help!

 * Also, any idea why I keep getting the same message (“no input file specified”)
   when I click on calendar or Archive (for example on November 2007)?

 * Actually, for some reaason, no matter what I click on, whether it be a post title
   or a sidebar menu item, I get “no input file specified” even though a few days
   ago thing were working fine.
 * [http://www.(mysite)](http://www.(mysite)).com/index.php/2007/12/01/picks-competition/
 * index.php keeps showing up in the URLs.
 * Kinda frustrating… Any thoughts?

 * OK, problem solved. Was just a matter of turning the Permalinks back to default.
   But I guess I won’t be able to use custom or date-based Permalinks…
