Child template content not showing on Master template #confused!

Templates and document types
Hi all, I'm new to Umbraco v6.1.3, but I understand how templates work. I have an issue where content in my child templates do not appear in my master template.

My Master Template
```
<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/umbraco/masterpages/default.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>

<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolderDefault" runat="server">

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder Id="Master" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

</asp:Content>
```
My Child Template
```
<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/masterpages/default.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>

<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="Master" runat="server">
</asp:Content>
```
I can populate the ContentPlaceHolder with content on the master and it shows fine.

Master template drop-down for the master template is assigned to 'none'.

Master template drop-down for the child template is assigned to 'Master'.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

That looks fine how have you got your doc types and nodes setup? Charlie :)

Hi Charlie,

I double checked the doc types and nodes and everything seemed ok to me. I was playing about with it and now I'm getting this:
```
Parser Error Message: The file '/masterpages/default.master' does not 
exist.
```
```
<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/masterpages/default.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
```
I think there is a capital letter issue with my file names. What is the proper syntax for capitalisation for file names?

In my masterpages folder I have the file 'master'

In Umbraco, Master Template has:
Name: Master
Alias: master
Master Template: None
Topline:
```
<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/masterpages/default.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
```
In Child Template:
Name: Homepage
Alias: homepage
Master Template: Master
Topline:
```
<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/masterpages/default.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
```
Thanks

I found the problem. I changed the 'MasterPageFile' location in the top line of the master and every child template to this:
```
<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/masterpages/Master.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
```
I had default.master and not Master.master. No idea how that changed but child templates are now loading into master template :)
