Problem when publishing website - 6/1/2009 17:08:19   
Hi Guys, I really hope for your help...

1. When I try to publish my website, I allways get a "port 21 is not found error" in Frontpage, but if I use Expression Web it works most of the time, howcome ?

2. This is a bit more tricky, I use Jalbum to make an album for our golfclub, and this program publishes the album on the webserver - great and easy. The problem is then when I publish my website from Frontpage, then Frontpage tries to download or ask to delete files on the remote, since these are not found on the local machine. I can Exclude local files from being published, but how do I prevent Frontpage to "work" with the photoalbum on the server (in other words, exclude this from being syncronised) ???

Thanks a lot....

#1. Do you have a firewall blocking port 21.

#2. Never ftp anything to a frontpage website that has extensions enabled. Put that jalbum stuff in your website on your hard drive. Then publish. Don't use the jalbum program to FTP. FTP uses port 21. So when you FTP then publish Frontpage is trying to use port 21 and getting confused.

Your extensions may now be corrupt. Do you know how to reset them on the server?

Poul, did you get your problem resolved? If not, here is another possible solution.

Hi

1. Thanks for your help, I just looked in FP, it was actually turned off, now I turned it on and it works :)

2. I might be a little 'thick', because I don't quite understand... Are you saying to let Frontpage publish everything for me ?

That's a good idea and I've actually been doing that, but this means that all the files will be stored trible on my harddrive and double on the website (the album is more than 1GB, so it's a little tiresome, but possible). Maybe I need to explain:

Harddrive:
1. Original files.
2. Album made by jalbum
3. Since jalbum stores the album on a deeper level on my HD than it publishes it to on webserver, it gives a third copy :-)

Website:
1. The album itself
2. The album that visitors see

Crazy, but it might be the only option. Is there really no way to "Exclude" server-side folders as you can exclude files from HD files !?

Thanks again

Poul

Yes, that's the way I do it on websites that have FP extensions enabled. Although, in some cases, I have used Filezilla to upload a modified htaccess file. But you have to be careful doing it, and you have to be carefull modifying htaccess files on sites that have FP extensions.

It looks like you started out with jalbum a different way than I would have done it.

I try to keep my website on my computer exactly like the one that is on a live server. (Except for some files that I have marked to Not Publish)

Hi again

Uha, this got a little technical for me, what's a htaccess file ?

Can I modify this, so FP ignores my album ?

Thanks

Poul

htaccess files are usually found on unix servers using apache software. Frontpage makes use of it sometimes automatically. You don't need to touch it and you shouldn't until you know what you are doing with it. Doing the wrong thing with htaccess can disable your extensions.
