iweb Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I have used FrontPage since 98 and now have the newest version which was working fine. I "upgraded" Win 2K to EP Pro and now I can't publish to my website. It says server timed out. I was loading pics like always so I deleted all but one and the text uploaded but not the one pic. I publish live, do the changes and then hit my save button and it used to upload fine, now won't. Emailed my host and they said they have not changed anything on their end. After trying to upload 3 times and getting the timed out thing, I get something that says if you are uploading to a web server you need to contact the administrator. I assume I loaded a web server or something with XP that is causing this? Any ideas and how do I "turn off" a web server? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 make sure that it saved your site settings... sometimes crap will get mixed up. if not just delete that profile and start over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iweb Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 Now I don't get the server timed out but I get this from MS FrontPage: An error occured accessing your FrontPage web files. Authors - if authoring against a web server, please contact the webmaster for this server's site. Webmasters - please see the servers system log for more details. Is the server my website host or FrontPage or what? This is an email from my web host: Just as a test, we reinstalled your FP extensions and adjusted your permissions to the maximum allowed to see if that would have any affect with the new settings on your end.

EY3BA11 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 thats all fine and dandy... you need to check and make sure that the settings within frontpage are still accurate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iweb Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 My log in to open my website says connecting to : virtualweb3.ttlvhost.net. I don't remember that saying that website before, I thought it just said log in without saying the connecting part. How do I check settings in FP? I just looked at everything I could find and don't see that???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 How did you publish before... using ftp? sharepoint services?? when you open your page go to file then publish site then make sure your settigns are correct in there... IE if it defaulted back to sharepoint vs ftp.. 20 bucks says it needs to be ftp.. and then make sure that the host name is correct.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iweb Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Holy crap you owe me $20 or a sammy! Really I don't know what sharepoint is, I have been doing the same publish since 1998. I open the website in IE, click on the FP button and it opens, I put in user name and password and the web downloads and then I make any changes and click the save button on the tool bar and it would upload or publish live or whatever term is correct. I even tried the publish thing yesterday and it did the same. Now, when I had to load XP, I also had to reload FP which came in Office so both are new and I think this is the first time I have worked on my website since.

SandBox_Kid Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Are you running XP SP2? Could this have anything to do with the firewall included in SP2? Just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iweb Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Windows firewall is off, I turned off Panda too and have the same problems. I went to file, publish, and don't see any place to check passive FTP, where is it? I also looked in all the tools, options, etc. When I tried to upload with the publish instead of clicking on the save button I got a message that the destination cannot be the same as the open page. Whats that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iweb Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Ok guru dudes, I went into My Network Places and clicked on my website. I noticed the folder of the problem webpage that I was trying to publish was different looking than the other webpages so I did a properties and the problem webpage is a HTML document and the other webpages are MS FP HTML documents. I did a test and uploaded a pic on a MS FP HTML document webpage and it published just fine. How do I change the problem webpage to the right kind??
