Problem publishing from FP2003 from restored backup

[Alex567]

After a disk failure I had to restore my saved web files from a backup. Since
then I have been unable to publish. It is a multiple domain site with subwebs
and I get the message "Server Error: <Domain Folder Name> does not refer to a
page or folder in this web. It may be a page orfolder in a subweb, or it
could be a badly formed URL" I have checked the host and all folder are
present and correct on both the local and remote systems. If anyone has a
suggestion as to how to fix this I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance

The best solution is to open the live/remote site directly in FP and publish a complete copy back to
your local HD. Suggest you publish the root web first without the subwebs, then publish each subweb.

Thanks Thomas, this wasn't the solution but it pointed me in the right
direction. When I went to publish to the root web I realised there wasn't
one. Somehow, during the backup restore process the folders for the subwebs
had turned back into ordinary windows folders. In FP2003 I simply
right-clicked on each in turn and clicked "Convert to Web". Then I was able
to publish as normal.

Subwebs are a function of the FP extensions, if they are not present, then the subwebs revert to
being standard folders.
