Emergency Help - Two 'identical?' servers...Totally different resu

Y

Yarrielle

Hello, I can make this pretty easy to understand. If you go to
http://bmanak.megavision.com you'll see the site loaded properly. Now go to
http://www.remax-columbus.com and you'll see the site loaded wrong. This is
the exact same site with the exact same code uploaded in the exact same
way...Giving me two highly different results!

The first is a developer server, and the second the real server, but there
shouldn't be any difference between them since it's the same host and the
same server and the same site and the same me. I published this today only
to see those dastardly results and now it's past my bedtime and I'm still
working on it with no fix in sight. If you look in the address bar you'll
see that the second site, the one that doesn't load properly, it tries to
stick a default.asp at the end. The one that works doesn't.

Can someone PLEASE tell me how to fix this before this company sees it and
gets very angry with me? I beg of you, and I'm not kidding...Please save me.
The code is right, I know it is. But I am at a loss as to why the same site
would act so differently like that. Anyone?

Do both servers have the FP extensions, and did you publish both via FP's http mode?

Yarielle, the first link doesnt work for me at all (404), the second link I
see what you mean.
Your frames page is defined to show default.asp
<frame name="main" scrolling="auto" noresize src="/Default.asp">

Looks like you should have default.htm set as your Start Page in Front Page,
and then change this to whatever page you want to load into your frame name
main:

<frame name="main" scrolling="auto" noresize src="/Default.asp">

there's nothing in your 'main' frame - that's all the difference I can tell.
if that what the problem is?

In the 1st one you have:
<frameset rows="95,*" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0">
<frame name="banner" scrolling="no" noresize target="main" src="menutop.htm">
<frameset cols="132,*"> <!--232-->
<frame name="contents" target="main" src="menuside.htm" scrolling="auto">
<frame name="main" scrolling="auto" noresize src="main.asp">
</frameset>

In the 2nd one you have:
<frameset rows="95,*" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0">
<frame name="banner" scrolling="no" noresize target="main" src="menutop.htm">
<frameset cols="132,*"> <!--232-->
<frame name="contents" target="main" src="menuside.htm" scrolling="auto">
<frame name="main" scrolling="auto" noresize src="/Default.asp">
</frameset>

Note the /Default.asp vs. the main.asp

Hi. You shouldn't get a 404 error on the first site unless you type a www
first or if that site is temporarily down, which happens. I'm not quite sure
how to set default.htm as my start page since all I have is default.asp in
there. And I'm not sure how that would work anyway since it works just fine
on the test server. I'm so confused.

Hello. But there is something in my Main frame...it's just not showing on the second address but it is on the first. I know it looks like I've done something wrong, and even that the code is different for each page, but I changed nothing. I've even taken the good page from bmanak and uploaded it right to remax with the same result. Later on, after I've answered everyone, I'm going to post the code to that page that I publish, so you can all see how it gets changed somehow between when I hit Save, and it hits the server.

I'm going to post my code in about two seconds here. Rest assured that no
matter how it looks from the server, this is indeed what I'm seeing when I
hit Publish. I have no idea what to do here.

Here is the code; copied directly out of FP's Code (html in older versions)
view. As you can see, I have this --> <frame name="main" scrolling="auto"
noresize src="<%=sMainURL%>"> in this real code, but after it sends it up to
the server, it changes it. Anyone see what I can do?

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<title>RE/MAX Total Realty</title>
</head>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
if(top!=self){top.location.href = self.location.href}
</script>
<%
Dim sMainURL
If Request("URL") = "" Then
sMainURL = "main.asp" ' default URL
else
sMainURL = Request("URL")
End If
%>
<frameset rows="95,*" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0">
<frame name="banner" scrolling="no" noresize target="main"
src="menutop.htm">
<frameset cols="132,*"> <!--232-->
<frame name="contents" target="main" src="menuside.htm"
scrolling="auto">
<frame name="main" scrolling="auto" noresize src="<%=sMainURL%>">
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body>
<p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>

Just to let all of you helpful people know, the host actually went into the
site live and changed back what FP had changed during the publish process.
But no I can't ever open that default page, make changes, and publish without
worrying that FP will change the code and I'll be back at square one.

Thank you all so much for your help and advice. I appreciate your time and
if anyone knows how to make FP stop it, please let me know 'cause this was a
real pain. Thanks all again for your help.

What does FrontPage change the code to?
Looking at the code in the browser does not help, since this is an ASP page,
where the code is evaluated and changed by the server, then delivered to the
browser.
