Publishing difficulties - 1/25/2001 16:20:00   
I used to be able to publish my site without any problems. I created a sub-web and made some changes because I wanted to control access to part of the web. Now when I publish I get the following server error:
===
SERVER ERROR: 'MCAMO' does not refer to a page in this web.
===
MCAMO is the subweb I created, not a page. The 'publish subwebs' box is not ticked so it shouldn't be trying to publish that subdirectory.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Paul

If you change an existing folder to a sub-web on your local copy, change it to a sub-web on your server copy before publishing between the two. This will often resolve the problem you report.

I tried as Bri suggested and got the same error.

As long as the subweb on the server isn't a subweb, the publish command will work. As soon as I convert it to a subweb (which I need to in order to control access using FP Security Permissions), the publish command fails with the error 'mcamo does not refer to a page in this web'. mcamo is the name of the subweb.

The only way around the problem is to open the server copy 'live' using FP, convert the subweb folder to a regular folder and then I can publish. Afterwards I need to convert it back to a subweb so that Security permissions work.

Also if I click 'Include subwebs' in the Publish Web dialog box I get the error 'The source web must be the root web in order to copy subwebs to a server that doesn't support nested subwebs'. Is this a server problem? It is a UNIX server running Apache I believe. Is there a way around this?

AFAIK, you can't use subwebs on UNIX, but you can use your htaccess file if you're trying to assign security to a folder...

I believe you can use subwebs on Unix. At least, I did. I had over 50 subwebs and never had a problem on Unix. However, I'm sorry this doesn't solve Paul's problem.

Carol - do you use the FP 'Publish' command with your site which uses subwebs, or do you update the site using an FTP program?

It's the FP publish command which fails when I have a subweb.

I inherited my site from someone else who had set it up. Is there a simple primer on setting up and maintaining UNIX htaaccess files that you can recommmend?

Which version of Apache and FP server extensions?

I ran into a similar problem whith older FP extensions on Apache.

I believe the latest Unix is version 4.0.2.4222

http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/languages/fp/2000/unixfpse.asp

Make sure your host has the latest FP extensions...

Thanks for the tip Rian. One question though. Is there a way I can tell which version of FP extensions my server uses or do I have to call them?

Hi Paul

Open your site "live" on the server in FP.
Do "Tools-->Web Settings...." and that should show the version of extensions.

(Doing this from memory so somebody please correct me if it is under a different tab..)

Thanks Rian, I may be on the path to solving the problem

The server extensions are 3.0.2.1330
the server version is Apache/1.2.6FrontPage/3.0.3

I don't know the protocol is to voice your request to a web hosting company that they update their extensions, but I guess I'll find out when I call them tomorrow.

Paul, I'm sorry it took this long to reply. But I'm glad you're to close to finding your answer.

Yes, I use FP publish for my subwebs. I always publish them by themselves to http://www.nameofroot/nameofsub.

I've never used the publish command with "incude sub webs" checked. It just makes me nervous.
