Cannot see SOME files and folders on server - 2/13/2006 16:28:14
I have a shared host account with godaddy. I encountered a few 500 errors yesterday, and opened a ticket with them. It is believed that the error may have been caused because I used an FTP client to move certain files from the server to my local computer. The site was otherwise created with FrontPage, and I guess FrontPage gets pretty screwed up if you access the server, something I did not previously know.
The site was originally set up on a Windows server. I had it moved a few days ago to a linux server (prior to the 500 error). I know nothing about linux. I know only a tiny bit more about web development.
Anyway, I reinstalled FP extensions, and the 500 errors went away (except for one, but I think that is an error in one of my database records, and I plan to delete the entire record).
So, while godaddy is busy trying to figure out the 500 errors, I ran into something else, and I think it relates to their tinkering.
In addition to my FrontPage site, I am trying to install Serendipity blogging. It was, in fact, files in the serendipity install that I needed to modify, and since they did not originate from within my local FrontPage web, I needed to copy them from the server, to a local web.
So, following directions from this site for "reverse publishing", I loaded up FrontPage this morning. Strange result - suddenly, many of the folders on my site are not visible in my publish window, even though they were yesterday. I know they exist - because I can change certain configuration settings, such as new "themes", and to make that change, serendipity has to load new files from a different theme directory, which it does. However, I still do not "see" these folders.
I have another issue where I will see 3 or more copies of the exact same file in the exact same folder.... something I thought to be impossible.
Talked with godaddy tech support - they look at the site, and do not see file duplicates, and they DO see all the proper folders. So far, they have not offered me any solution.
Any ideas????

More info - I was told I could use an FTP client to VIEW the server files, just don't change anything. So I used IE to look at the server. Everything looks fine using IE - no missing folders, no duplicate files, nothing.
But that is not the case with FrontPage.... is there something I need to change in FrontPage to see the server properly????

No one has any idea??? It almost seems like a FP extensions issue, but I am really not that familiar with that aspect. I did uninstall, and reinstall FP extensions, even republished, but there are numerous directories that I have created (not FP hidden directories), as well as many files, that simply do not show up in my publish dialog box.

Just in case anyone else ever has this problem, I found the solution on microsoft's site, posted by user Thomas A. Rowe:
"With FP Closed, search for and delete *.web (hidden/system) files, and delete the FP temp folder
under Windows Temp folder. "

I am having this same problem. I deleted the .web file in the cache but cannot find the FP temp file. Can you let me know where I may find it?
Thanks
