Cannot access live web

J

Joe S.

I have three websites:
www.1.org
www.2.org
www.3.com

1 and 2 are hosted by webhost A; #3 is hosted by webhost B.

No problems with 1 and 2.

When I established 3, there was no problem -- I made the web in MS FP and
published to the host server. Over the next few weeks, I edited articles,
changed files, etc., and everything works fine.

Now, I can't publish to www.3.com. I can ftp no problem.

This is what happens:
-- Open the web on the hard drive.
-- Make a new page, modify and existing page, whatever.
-- Hit Publish
-- The web dialogue box opens and I click on "More Webs" and enter
www.3.com and hit enter.
-- Dialogue box opens asking for User ID and password -- I give it the ID
and password.
-- I get the following error message:
"Server error. An error occurred accessing your FrontPage
web files. Author: if authoring against a web server, please contact the
webmaster for this server's site. Webmasters -- please see the server\'s
system log for more details."

Try again, enter ID and password. Get the same error. After about 3-4
tries, I get a message that says "Error: Client closed connection."

I have never been able to access the web on the host server -- accessing it
on my hard drive is no problem but that's not what I need -- can't publish,
can't access the live web.

I can go to the host server and log into the control panel -- I reinstalled
FP extensions.

I have e-mailed tech support -- which is a useless exercise. They don't
have a clue.

Before I move everything to the same server as 1 and 2, what does anyone
suggest?

Thanks.

the domain name XXX'ed out.

Does this tell anyone anything? It's Greek to me.

Thanks.

I think I'd try logging on live to www.3.com you said you can to re-do the
extensions? try adding a new admin user with new password and see if you can
publish with new name/password.

Kinda sounds like webhost B's extensions are wrong or hosed by ftping.

What's the URL of webhost B?
