FP 2000 Publish doesn't request username - 12/6/2007 12:29:50
Hi,
I have been having trouble publishing using FrontPage 2000. One thing that seems strange to me is when I click on publish and the publish pop up box appears, all it asks for is the the location to publish my web to. It doesn't ask for my username or password. Does this seem normal to you?

If you have published previously and not closed FP then FP will remember your username/password and you will not have to enter it nor will it ask for it if you attempt to publish again.
Once you close FP then the next time you publish you will be asked for username/password.
When you do a FILE>>PUBLISH the first time it should ask for username/password. IF not then something is wrong.
In another post you said you were using a FTP client. That will usually mess up your extensions and you will not be able to publish until you reset them.
Also I highly recommend that you upgrade to FP2003 if you can still find a copy somewhere. (Try ebay) FP 2003 is more stable.

Hello Don,
Thank you for your reply to this post also.
I apologize for posting about two different issues at nearly the same time as I realize this only confuses the issue further.
I have closed and opened and closed my Front Page many times today and still do not get a request for my username and password.
I will reset my extensions and see if that helps with publishing from FrontPage. I'm not holding out much hope, though, as I'm quite sure I tried publishing from FrontPage right after enabling them.
I'm hoping I won't have to get FrontPage 2003. I'm sure it is more stable, but my project is very simple and my plan was to spend as little as possible on it.
Thank you,
Gail

Hello Again Don,
I did as you suggested and re-enabled FrontPage extensions. I opened FrontPage and tried to publish, but I still do not get a request for username and password.
I guess that means something is wrong with my FrontPage program.
That takes me back to wanting to publish with my ftp client, but that issue is addressed in my other post. I'm hoping you will be able to help me with that.
Thank you,
Gail

Does this seem normal to you? Yes it does. Look at your network icon and see if your URL / domain name is in there. Do a few things as mentioned here Frontpage is Running Slow to see if that does not clear up everything. Make sure you have FP turned off when you see if anything is in the network settings

Hello Corey,
I did as you suggested to clean FP. I did it manually and also used the cleanup program. Unfortunately, it hasn't fixed the problem.
The one thing you suggested that I didn't do was to look at my network icon to see if my URL / domain name is there. I don't know how to do this. Could you please tell me where I locate my network icon? Step by step instructions would be appreciated as this is new to me.
Many thanks,
Gail

Look on your desktop - you should see a My Network Connections. If not there, look your Control Panel

Hi Corey,
Thank you for your reply and your help! I looked and the URL/domain name is not there.
I should probably mention here that I transfered the domain to a new host 2 1/2 days ago. This was a transfer of host only and not a transfer of registration. Is it possible it hasn't propogated yet? The old host said it should propogate in one to two days with three days being rare. My new host thought I should be able to ftp to it by now. Could that be causing this trouble?

Well FTP and FPSE are two different things. Most hosting companies will give you an IP address in which you can use immediately. But most of the time, domain propogation is usually less than 24 hours depending on your ISP / domain registrar.
If you go to Start - Run and enter cmd and (OK) you should get a command prompt. Type in ping www.example.com and replace www.example.com with your domain name. It will give you an IP address. Verify with your hosting company this is the proper IP address

Take control of this yourself by asking the new host for their DNS settings then change the DNS pointers on the Registrar CPanel to the new new host information.

RE: FP 2000 Publish doesn't request username - 12/7/2007 14:25:59
Hi Don,
~I'm assuming DNS settings are the same as ns??
~I registered my domain through my old host. I'm assuming that means they are my registrar??
If my above two assumptions are true, I believe three days ago I did what you are suggesting. At any rate, I followed the instructions of the old host for making the domain transfer to a new host.
This is what I entered at my control panel at the old host:
ns1.(name of new host).net
ns2.(name of new host).net
My new host told me these are the settings to use.
These new settings show up at the WhoIs, so it appears to me that the transfer initiated properly. I just wonder if it hasn't propogated properly as I am still unable to view the site www.naturallivingforums.com (I read at your posting policy page that it is helpful to post the site we are asking for help on, so I trust this is o.k.)
Late yesterday I sent an email to the company I bought my webpage template from. They felt I shouldn't have trouble transferring the file that is getting hung up in ftp queue, but they had me send them a zip file of the entire webpage and also my ftp info. They are going to see if they can figure out what is wrong.
I will let you know how it works out. Meanwhile, if anything I did looks wrong or if I'm misunderstanding your suggestion, I'd appreciate your letting me know.
Thank you,
Gail

Well, I have one answer. My old host is my registrar.

RE: FP 2000 Publish doesn't request username - 12/7/2007 14:54:14
It seems there were changes to this domain on 27 Nov, 5 Dec, and 6 Dec. Right now, it is pointing to ns1.hypermart.net
DNS Stuff reports some errors with the name servers, but when I ping the domain name you listed it goes to 38.113.1.151.
But if you have already made the name server transfer, are you using the IP address to log into the old server?

RE: FP 2000 Publish doesn't request username - 12/7/2007 15:51:24
Hello Don, Corey and Larry,
Many thanks to all of you for trying to help me. I contacted my new host and they also tested the site. They were able to publish my page to it. I am still unable to ftp to it and I can't even view the page. They suggest I disable antivirus and firewall. I'm going to contact the guy who installed these for me to find out how to do that. I will let you know if that's the answer, but it could be days before I hear from him or he can get over here to do it if I'm unable to do it myself.
Many thanks again,
Gail

But it also depends on where your computer is pushing your address to. You can edit your hosts file as well but...
Did the IP address that you received from doing

give you the proper IP address? That would be very helpful to know - that way you know what server you are trying to connect to.

Hello Corey,
I did do the ping and came up with the same IP address you did. I checked with my host and they said that was the correct IP.

Hi Larry,
Unfortunately, my FrontPage publish feature is not working. I have tried to fix it using suggestions from people at this message board, but it appears there is just simply something wrong with it that we can't fix. I have to use my ftp client to publish.

Hello Larry,
When I click on your above link to my domain, I am able to get the page.
When I search for www.naturallivingforums.com using my browser, I can't get to it.
What could be causing this problem??
Thank you,
Gail

Why is this important?
If I understand your question (I may not) searching is another ballgame - relates to Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
A Google search for www.naturallivingforums.com didn't return your site but all that means to me is it hasn't been indexed, and may not, since your home page head section fails to reflect keyword meta tags.

Hi Larry,
It may not be important. My one concern was that, if I am unable to get to it, there may be others who are unable to.
You're right - I should put the keyword meta tags in.
Thank you,
Gail
