Error with #810217 and SP2

[Sam Steinhauser]

I previously wrote MS Tech twice about this error FrontPage 2000 has when publishing a web site. Incident ID SRZ031114000070. It started when I installed Critical Patch #810217. I now have the same problem with Windows XP SP2. Since my last failure with FrontPage (at that time I could uninstall #810217 and resume my work but now I am stuck with the problem unless I want to avoid SP2 and that is not a solution for me) I have learned a couple of interesting oddities.
Originally I first caught the problem publishing my web over my home network to my second computer. The problem them repeated publishing the web to my second hard drive on my computer. This is how I keep backups of my web. I never tried to publish the web to my ISP because I thought it would fail there also.
With SP2 RC1 installed I went directly to my FrontPage, added a 800k RealMedia file and attempted to publish it. It worked. I thought maybe it was corrected in SP2. I updated my web 3/21/04 Sunday morning with 2 new RealMedia files, 800k and 4000k, published it to my ISP, surfed to the web site, checked everything and all was OK. After verifying the web sites functionality I then return to FrontPage and publish the web to my hard drives.
I got the same old error
An error occurred accessing your FrontPage web files, Authors - if authoring against a web server, please contact the webmaster for this server's site. Webmasters - please see the servers system log for more details
So since my last contact with you about this problem I have learned it only errors with the 4mb RealMedia (.rm) file being published to my local hard drives. It worked with the small .rm file and it works when published to the ISP no matter what size the .rm file is
I will gladly buy FrontPage 200x if that will solve my problem. This is going to be quite a hassle switching back and forth between publishing or not publishing the .rm files on my local drives and ISP. The #810217 patch was for FrontPage extensions. I don't have FrontPage extensions on my computer. Why it dies with the RealMedia files baffles me. I wouldn't even use RealMedia but some older computers still can't play .mp3 files with out adding some program. I just want the web site to be as easy as possible for everyone and so far the RealMedia has worked fine. This may force me to switch to .mp3 which would be marvelous when making audio CD's of the files
It concerns me that FrontPage will no longer publish a certain type/size file. What will be next

 

[Steve Easton]

There is a known issue with FrontPage when trying to publish files over 1mb
in size.
Currently there is no fix that I'm aware of.

There is also a possibility that it can be an ISP issue. ( not web host, but
ISP )

Thanks for the tips. I must have been lucky because I have used it for over 2 years publishing 4 mb RealMedia files weekly until they set Critical Patch #810217 loose on me. I knew this would happen when it got embedded in SP2. Would a newer version of FrontPage resolve my issue? Maybe switching to .mp3 files would not resolve my problem?

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Which version of FP are you currently running?

I run Windows XP with FP2000 and all updates for both Windows, IE and Office 2000 and do not have
this problem.

I have the FrontPage 2000 on a Win XP Pro with no MS Office. I just have Works suite 2000. I haven't patched anything on FrontPage. I am toying with the idea of purchasing FP 2003 and seeing what happens.

 

[Sam Steinhauser]

I am running FrontPage 2000 on WinXP Pro with all the patches except #810217 but I have SP2 RC1 installed and that is when the error resurfaced. I do not have any type of MS Office on my system. I only have Works 2000.

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

I have SP3 installed and #810217

SP3 for MS Office? I didn't find a update for FrontPage 2000.

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

MS Office 2000 SPs covers all Office application.

If you host supports subweb, create a subweb for your large media files - say media
Publish your web w/o subwebs (or w/ subwebs and small files by same name in the media subweb)
Then FTP just the larger media files into the subweb named media (do not open that subweb in FP)
