Frontpage republishing problem

[swanson]

I am using frontpage 98. Over the past several months I have been making
editorial changes to my web pages, such as changing sentences and paragraphs,
and then publishing the pages. The publishing was fine for awhile, and then
suddenly it stoped, and I keep getting the following message when I try to
publish the changed pages "an unexpected error occurred accessing frontpage
web files. Authors-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". I contacted the internet service provider to
determine what changed on their end. To confirm that their server was
working ok and that it was still accepting changed web pages, they downloaded
two pages from my web site, made changes to them, uploaded them to my site
and then down loaded them onto their server. I reviewed the changed pages on
my computer. They then restored the pages to their original condition. So
apparently there may be a frontpage software problem on my end. Any
suggestions or similar experiences? Thanks, Swanson.

Have your hosts updated the extensions on the server since your last
successful publish? And is the server running on Unix? FP98 cannot
publish to the most recent version of FP2002 extensions on Unix.
When your host tested, which version of FrontPage did they use?

 

[swanson]

The ISP has updated their server extensions to 2002 and recently to 2003.
They are using a Unix server, and they tested my web pages using 2002. I
suspect this is the cause of my problem. The six million dollar question now
is, what are the fixes.

 

[Ronx]

There are no FP2003 extensions and never will be, so if your host says they
have updated to FP2003 extensions, get another host.

Your only solutions are:

1) Update FP98 to a later version

2) Move to a Windows server.
