Reverse Publishing - 6/8/2004 11:19:08
In reading your june 8th newsletter you mention reverse publishing to regain the updated web site. Why not just do an import. Everything happens at the same time. Is there an advantage to reverse publishing over importing the web site?

But...you can import everything at one time if you specify at least the minimum levels and a large enough file size. Then FP creates the web on one's computer. Isn't that correct?

After I raised the question, I decided try both and see what would happen. Neither one worked very well. Reverse publishing ran along until it came to a large graphic file and then hung up and did not proceed any further. The import, even though I used a large number of levels and large file size, never did import everything. Plus there seemed to be errors in the asp pages associated with the site FORUM. So my original question seems to still be hanging.

Reverse publishing does work. Your server may have timed out on the publish, but that's another story.
Importing does NOT work. Importing will not move FP config files that you need if you're using FP components like the search bot, the FP nav component, contact form, ect.
If FP gets hung up during a pubish, just try again.
If it's choking on a single really huge file, then select "do not publish" for that file. Then let the publish finish. Then import that 1 file.
In the matter of asp pages, asp pages will only work when they reside on a server. FP will mentino this during the publish. It will show you a list of the pages that will not work on your local hard drive. That's still OK to publish, however. They will work the next time you publish to a server that supports asp.

I would think that when your account was set up at your hosting service a user name and password would have been initiated. I recently had trouble logging into one of my sites and it was trouble on the hosting service end of the deal. You should check with your hosting service and get clear on all of the ground rules for publishing to your site. They would know best what to do and what not to do.
For instance, I made some major changes to one of my sites and published in front page using "publish all pages" rather than "publish only changed pages". It screwed up the server extension on the site which then had to be reloaded by the service. In conversation with them after that they told me never to use "publish all pages" even if up loading the first time. I don't know if that would be true for all hosting services, but that is the sort of thing your service can fill you in on.
Check with them to see what's going wrong.

If you're not able to get to the point where FP asks for your userID / pw then one possibility could be that your host is using Windows authentication instead of Basic. The only other explanation I could think of would be that FP server extensions were uninstalled.

I bet it's your host. I've seen this kind of thing a lot.
