cant publish site - 12/23/2007 3:29:36   
I'm new to this forum.
I'm trying to publish with frontpage 2003,upgraded from 2002. The problem is this -
I click on publish web. The publish destination window opens and I put in my site address and enter it. This opens the connect to... window and I enter my username and password. Immediately after entering this the window opens again with the password section blank, requiring me to enter my password again. I cant get past this point.
I have tried publishing from another computer and the same happens.
I have tried adding pages to my old domain name held with another host and the same happens though previously with this site there has been no problem. This leads me to think my computers are the problem.
I've tried publishing from expression web - same problem.
Frontpage extensions are active and passwords are correct.
Both computers have had clean install of XP SP2 recently. Updates are up to date.
I've googled this problem. It seems common but no clear answers.

Thanks, Andrew.

Try temporarily turning off your firewall, see if it connects then. If it does then you need to check the settings on there. Don't forget to turn it back on afterwards. Welcome to Outfront.

Have you been able to publish at all with 2003 or were all the sites previously done with 2002? I ask because I had some big problems with 2002 and eventually reverted back to 2001. Then went straight from there to 2003.

I put in my site address


Make sure you enter the complete address, e.g.,

http://www.yoursite.com/ . Have no idea why, but this approach has worked for me in situations similar to yours.

Good luck :)

have entered the address correctly.
I think the problem may be to do with Internet Explorer security and network settings or authentication but I don't know where to start.

Internet Explorer
Tools>Internet Options> make sure security and privacy are not set at max. Try adding your host to the list of trusted sites.

I don't have FP on my machine any more so I can't check but there may be an option labelled PASV tick or untick it and try again.

Other than that, contact your host and see if they've changed something.

I had the same problem and it was my service provider. They had to upgrade their server. Call them and see if the problem is on their end.

Have exhausted all possibilities at my end and my service provider are looking for the problem on their system.

Look at Internet Options in IE >> CONNECTIONS>>Settings and see if you have a proxy set up there.

Having a proxy has caused me some problems connecting to a server when using the publish feature of FP.

Thanks everyone.

I have now successfully published my website, www.waterdesign.co.uk . The problem was on the hosts website and they fixed it quickly. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Andrew.
