FrontPage 2003 and Yahoo

[D]

I an currently the webmaster for a small church. The church changed their
web host to Yahoo. I was able to upload the website to yahoo using Front
Page 2003 without a problem. However, I am having problems making updates.
Folders, such as my images folder, are showing as subdirectories (a yellow
folder with a globe on it) in Yahoo and even though I have full permissions
to the entire website I can not open these folders any longer.

Yahoo said this is due to a problem with the file extensions in 2003, which
they do not support. Of course, they want me to download their web authoring
software and use it instead. I'd rather not.

Has anyone else had this problem, and does anyone know a work around?

Thanks for your help.

Yahoo and problems seem to go together.

There are no FP2003 extensions, the latest are FP2002 which Yahoo claim to
support.

The globe on the images folder indicates that the folder is a subweb, and
needs to be converted back to a folder. (When users want subwebs on Yahoo,
it appears that Yahoo do not allow them.)

Either have Yahoo run Server Health check on the website, or remove the
extensions, then re-install them.
Best plan is get a reputable host who knows what they are doing.

Thanks for your help. After 3 phone calls to Yahoo I finally got someone who
knew just what to do and fixed the problem. I think he removed and
reinstalled the extensions as you suggested.

They don't support them because there aren't any 2003 FP extensions the last
extensions were 2002

A yellow folder with a globe on it would probably be a subweb or subsite
which they don't support (pretty sure they don't) so if you inadvertantly
(or advertantly) changed your folders on your local machine to subwebs/sites
they will not publish.

Thanks for your response.

My files published fine, it was after they were on the Yahoo server that
they became, subwebs or subdirectories. Even when I uploaded a brand new file
folder it became a subweb once I named it "images". The real problem was
that eventhough I have full permission to the web (according to Yahoo) I
could not open these subwebs or add files to them.

Anyway, the rep I spoke to removed the extensions and reinstalled them. The
Images folder is the only folder that remains a subweb however, now I am able
to open it and work with it. So problem (sort of ) solved.

Thank you again.

I use Yahoo with FP 2003 with 48 subwebs of which so far work just fine.

As for the glob folders. (Folders with a round circle in the middle) is an
FP feature and thus this kind of folder is only seen on your hard drive, not
at Yahoo. The glovbe folder indicates a published website.

You will not be able to open those folders until you close the other folder
that also has the globe icon. IE: You can't have two different websites open
at the same time.

So then Rob, how do others go about finding out what hosts are best suited
for FP 2003? That seemed like the logical thing to have posted here.

Thanks,

James

Thanks for your input and it soundsl like your have a lot of experience.
However, the problem I was having was that I could not publish files from the
images folder on my computer to the images folder on Yahoo. Being that I
don't have subwebs on the saved version of the website on my hard drive, I
couldn't really close the website to transfer the file......unless I am just
not really understading you. It is a really small website. At this point
there is not need for subwebs.

Thanks again.

The folders with globes smack in the middle of the folder are webs or
subwebs/subsites and yes they are visible if you open your main web live and
have subweb/subsites in it.

Yes you can have two websites open at the same time at least on your local
you can, never tried it live...can't see why not though.

I like alentus.com as a host...there are zillions others though.

If you don't see the globe in the folder icon at Yahoo, they are simple
folders, not subwebs.
Folders with globes are not "Published web sites", they are subwebs which
may or may not have been published.
The number of subwebs you can open simultaneously is limited by your
computer hardware - RAM especially. Each subweb will open in a new
FrontPage window.
