Jen -> service.cnf (3/22/2001 23:06:00)

Hello everyone -

Please forgive the long story but I want to put all the necessary info out there...

I'm working on a website at work. A couple of weeks ago I decided to take it home and work on it there. Unknowingly, I copied the entire web directory onto a CD. I had problems working on it at home (couldn't open service.lck for writing) and found the solution on the Outfront archives: I unchecked "Read Only" on the file, promised myself I'd publish to a CD the next time, and was fine.

Still unsure of what I was doung, though, I came back to work the next day and copied the directory back onto my work machine, unchecked the "Read Only" switch and went on my way.

Now, when I try to publish to my server I get another error: unable to write to D:\whatever\whatever\_vti_pvt\service.cnf. I searched the Outfront archives again and see a message about this file but it seems to be referring to the file on the server side; this is referring to the file on my local machine.

When I look in the stated directory on my machine, this file does not even exist. I am able to publish my web, but I think it can't tell very well which files are new because it's publishing a lot more files than just the ones I've recently changed.

Sorry for the long-winded message. I appreciate any suggestions anyone can offer. Thanks so much!

That kind of error message usually goes away if you have your host reinstall FP server extensions. You may need to publish again with "publish all pages, overwriting.." checked after this has been done. Not necessarily. I think you would only need to do that if you're using a theme of the fp nav component.

Thanks for the tip Thomas. I'll give it a try. Jen

Hi Thomas (or whoever is reading this..)

I tried to have my FrontPage extensions reinstalled on my server. (Actually, I had them removed, and then installed again.) Then, when I posted my web pages, I asked it to completely overwrite instead of just posting changed pages. Unfortunately, I still get this error.

Since the error is pointing at a file on my machine, should I try reinstalling Frontpage on my machine?

Thanks again for your help!

When you said "I came back to work the next day and copied the directory back onto my work machine", you meant you "published" onto your work machine - right?

FP doesn't like "copying, uploading, downloading, importing, etc." always publish when moving a site.

Hi Gil -

Thanks for reading through the story. Yes, I'm ashamed to say that I _copied_ my web files back on my machine.

Any thoughts on how to address the error I'm now getting?

Thanks! Jen



Thomas Brunt -> RE: service.cnf (3/30/2001 20:52:00)

I would reinstall FrontPage.

That won't harm any of your existing webs.
