my gif files don't work on the internet

[Anthony]

I built a web site with publisher 2003 and after uploading it to the net
using cute ftp I can not get the gif files to work can any body please help
me. thank you.

 

[DavidF]

What do you mean they don't work? Post the URL.

In the meantime, did you upload all the Publisher files and sub-folders?
Besides the "index.htm" file, there should probably be a "index_files"
folder and the "index_filelist.xml" file.

[Anthony]

the gif files do not show up on the web site. yes I uploaded all the files
and sub folder

 

[Don Schmidt]

Did you also upload all the image files?

 

[Anthony]

yes

Did you also upload all the image files?

 

[DavidF]

Since you did not post the URL as requested, I can only guess at a solution.
If the image loads with a red X, then try emptying you internet cache. If it
simply does not load, are you using a dial-up connection? Perhaps the images
are so large that they are taking a long time. In that case perhaps you
should compress the images before you upload the site:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011266301033.aspx

You can also help your pages and images load more quickly by going to Tools

Options > Web tab and untick "Rely on VML...", and "Allow PNG...".

Which browser are you using?

sorry about that i missed that bit about the url. it is
anthonydaniell.b0x.com
but i have deleted the site and am trying to upload it again with the
publish to web but now get the error folder is marked read only

You can't Publish after you have used third party FTP...ftp will break the
FP extensions. You'll need to have the extensions uninstalled - reinstalled,
then use Publish and NOT use ftp again.

As Rob said, if the FPSE are "broken" you can't use HTTP uploading protocol,
but you can use FTP uploading. The problem with that is any forms you have
on your site will not work unless you use HTTP. Perhaps it would be helpful
for you to review several articles about uploading Publisher web sites.
David Bartosik has moved his material, so check this link for articles about
the different methods:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/articles/category/1921.aspx

I also noticed when I tried the link to your website, that it appears it is
being hosted by a free service. It tried to download and install some
software on my computer...aarrgghh! If they are framing your site, then this
might be one reason you are having problems. Publisher writes a lot of
relative links to images, etc. So...check to see if they are framing your
site.

Out of curiosity, I went to your free web host. I wouldn't worry about HTTP
uploading...they don't provide it, so go ahead and try to use FTP uploading.
They also only provide 5 megs of space, so you really need to compress your
images and delete old files as I suggested. I couldn't tell if they frame
your site (the help section is still under development, supposedly), but my
guess is they do, as in their privacy and terms of use, they certainly do
everything else...yikes!

One experiment you could try is in Publisher go to Tools > Options > Web
tab, and untick everything under Saving. Then when you publish your site to
your hard drive, put all the files in one folder. Then after you have
deleted all the files on your host, use FTP to upload all the files IN that
folder on your hard drive, but not the folder itself. It that doesn't work,
find a new host. I would anyway...

Thank you all for your help. I am waiting for an email responce from the free
web server mob and you might be right go to another web server thanks again

 

[Anthony]

Can you please explain how i go about uninstalling and then reinstalling the
FP extensions as I deleted the whole site to start fresh and it is not
letting me save the files as it says folder is marked as read only thank you
for your help

 

[Rob Giordano \(Crash\)]

Your host may allow for user control panel, look in the help files on your
host's site. IF they don't have one you must have them repair or
uninstall/reinstall the extensions.

Thank you for your help. My web host sent me an email when I joined up with
two links for help and support but they don't work and the help page on their
web site does not have anything on it and they have not answered my email yet
so i am thinking of going to another web host. Once again thank you all for
your help.

 

[Rob Giordano \(Crash\)]

yer welcome...and it's time for a new host for you...prompt support is
essential!
