I have done this countless times, but now all of a sudden I cant get FP to upload my site. This is really starting to annoy me. I have done everything I can think of to get this to work. Can anyone offer some clues as to why this isnt working for me?

What are the error messages and where is it failing?

Possible causes include adding a firewall or other Internet security, transferring files using FTP rather than FrontPage HTTP publishing, or the server extensions having a glitch.

Also, sometimes waiting 24 hours or so helps and the problem goes away on its own.

It has to be ther server. I uninstalled Frontpage 2002 and reninstalled 2003 and it still doesn't work. I even cleared out my public_html directory and reinstalled the frontpage extensions and still no luck.

Maybe so, but could you favor us with an error message or failure mode?

Does Lunar have Frontpage 2003 Extensions yet?  I think that's what you mean by installing 2003.  E-mail support and ask them.  Also, it would help if you would tell us the error message you are getting.

Hi,

We actually aren't able to support FP 2003 extensions as MS hasn't provided them for Linux machines.  We only support 2000-2002.  Basically, any Sharepoint services we aren't able to support, which is a component of some of the 2002 and 2003 extensions.

I hope this helps.

According to Microsoft there are no FrontPage 2003 server extensions as such and there will not be any. Development efforts will be focussed on SharePoint Services, which include the server extension functionality. FrontPage 2002 server extensions will continue to be supported but not improved.

From their FAQ at http://www.microsoft.com/office/frontpage/prodinfo/faq.mspx

Q. I've heard that there are no FrontPage 2003 Server Extensions. Is that true?

A. Microsoft has continued to make investments in FrontPage 2003 to enhance the overall customer experience, based on customer feedback and the changing role of server extensions in our overall product offerings. As we examined our options, it became clear that the best solution was to create a new and radically more powerful server story—Windows SharePoint™ Services—and eliminate the need for server extensions beginning with FrontPage 2003.

Today, the optimal combination for FrontPage is to use FrontPage 2003 in combination with Windows SharePoint Services. This allows you to access the entire set of new functionality in FrontPage 2003, along with improvement to the way you did things in FrontPage 2002 and other previous versions of FrontPage. For more information about these changes, see FrontPage server configuration options and features.

Thanks Rick_E for the info.  I haven't been to their site in awhile.  I don't think I will be upgrading to Frontpage 2003.  I'll just stay with 2002.

Thanks,
Mike

Here's a chart to compare features among the various versions.
http://www.microsoft.com/office/frontpage/prodinfo/compare.mspx

For me, the best new feature is the split view, which allows you to see the design view and code view at the same time. And if you work on the site from more than one computer the synchronization feature is useful.

I usually suggest to people that if they FrontPage only occasionally don't bother upgrading from 2002 to 2003. On the other hand, if they use FrontPage regularly the $90 upgrade is most likely worth it.

Is this the error message you get when you edit/try to upload your site?

"Documents in this folder are not available. The folder may have been moved or deleted, or network problems may be preventing a connection to the server."

It keeps telling me "Could not find a web server at 'www.beesonbuzz.com'  I also am unhappy that every morning I have to have a page error at least once before I can get into my site.  HELP please. This is my day to get to work on my site & now this. Had uploaded some stuff last night & it worked just fine. I have FP 2003.

The site appears to have the extensions installed and functioning. Try publishing to http://beesonbuzz.com, not using the www.
