Problems Publishing to my Web Server

B

Brian McKay

I've been publishing three websites using FrontPage (2000
originally and now 2003), For about a year-and-a half.
Until now I've had no problems. However, now when I try I
get quoted an 'error 500', and when I look at the list of
files I'm trying to publish, I find that 6 of them have
a '?' against them indicating a conflict.

I've had a good look at the html and can't see what the
problems could be. I did update these pages (and all the
others that are working OK) using a Cascading Style Sheet
and removed any conflicting formatting I had previously
had. My first thought had been that it might be to do
with the CSS, but as I said, I used it on every page and
it's only this hadful that have a problems.

Any advice would be welcome

The "? Conflict" means that a file on the remote site has
changed *after* you last change the same file locally.
Here's an example:

Monday - Change the local file whatever.htm file and
publish it to the remote site.

Tuesday - Make an emergency change to the whatever.htm
file directly on the remote site.

Wednesday - Open the local Web and prepare to publish.
FrontPage will report a conflict because the
whatever.htm file on the remote site isn't
the version last published from the local
site.

To resolve this, you need to decide which version of the
file is correct, and publish that version to the other
site. Note that in some cases, you may need to open both
files and merge changes by hand.

The Error 500 is quite another matter. To solve that one,
