Navigation bar from FrontPage

[Peter Van Peborgh]

I have a navigation bar in some web pages, generated by FrontPage. They work
OK on my development machine under IE and within FrontPage..
When the pages are transferred to a server on the Internet, which has it
FrontPage extensions switched on, the home page comes up without any
buttons in the navigation bar. The hit counter, also FrontPage-generated,
works on the Internet server.
The code generated in the homepage is follows.
How do I crack this problem?
_____
HTML code in the homepage (I don't know why the font is so small...):

"

<td width="757" height="27" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"
colspan="2"><!--webbot

bot="Navigation" S-Type="children" S-Orientation="horizontal"

S-Rendering="graphics" B-Include-Home="TRUE" B-Include-Up="FALSE" U-Page

S-Target -->

</td>

"

Isn't the nav bar a webbot? I believe many isp's have frontpage, sometimes
not the latest extensions, but not sure how much the extensions provide that
are a subset of what is provided on your dev machine.

Make sure you're publishing your Web directly from
FrontPage, via HTTP, and not through an external FTP
program.

If that doesn't resolve the problem, try this procedure:

Jim,

I used FTPcommander to copy all folders 'below' my pages as well as the
webpages onto an identical folder structure on the webserver.
When I do a Publish Web in FrontPage as you suggest, requesting overwrite of
whatever is on the webserver already, I get this message:

"
401 Authorization Required
Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document
requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password),
or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.
Additionally, a 406 Not Acceptable error was encountered while trying to use
an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.0.40 Server at www.resourcechristiancounselling.org Port 80
"

The server in question has FrontPage extensions switched on.

How do I get beyond this?

Btw, the article you pointed to did not seem to address my exact problem. Or
does it...

Thanks

If you have used FTP you have corrupted the FP SE
- have your host repair/reinstall them
Then publish using File Publish and enter http://www.resourcechristiancounselling.org/

Try opening the remote Web site directly in FrontPage (i.e. File, Open
Web, your URL, Open).

If that works, use the same username and password when you publish.

If it doesn't, work with your host to get that fixed. They probably
need to reset your password or something. Then, once you can log in,
use the same username and password for publishing.

Well, yeah, but you have to publish via HTTP to take advantage of that.

In theory, publishing by FTP ought to work, because you would end up
with all the same files on the server that you had on your development
machine.

In practice, when FrontPage creates something like a Nav bar, it creates
and/or updates a lot of files you don't know about. And if you don't
know these files exist, you're probably not going to transfer them.

FrontPage, of course, *does* know about them, and either transfers them
or tells the server extensions to recreate them. But it only does this
only if you publish through FrontPage, using HTTP.
