publisher could not save the file to the web

[mafixit]

I am at my wit's end.

I am trying to publish an update to my client's web site. My host is
IPowerWeb, I am using Publisher 2003 and have a dsl connection. I have
followed suggestions carefully, including deleting my ftp sites and re-adding
them. I have tried to upload through http:// as well as ftp://.

Never had a problem publishing before, but now no matter what computer I use
at any of my office locations, I get the stupid error that "publisher could
not save the file to the web. Check your URL or network connection and try
again".

I can create one page and upload it with no problem. My host's tech support
can create a simple html page and upload it.

This file will not save. Nor will any other older versions of this web site
I have on my hard drive.

Please help. Her real estate web site has been down for three days now. I
have spent an entire day trying to figure this out.

I presume that you are starting with the original Pub document, and then
producing the new HTML files by File > Publish to the Web, and then either
using ftp or http to publish those files to the web host? You are not trying
to modify old HTML files, right? All changes should start in the Pub file...

When you modified the Pub file the last time, did you leave any objects
overlapping the work area and the scratch area? Did you run Design Checker?

More to your issue, David Bartosik has a good article on troubleshooting a
publishing problem, and other publishing articles that you might reference:

David,

I am starting with the original document - the same one I have uploaded
many, many times. It's only a 6 page web site. I made one minor change to a
section of text. Design checker has been run and there are absolutely no
issues.

The only difference now is that I am running Publisher 2003 on a new laptop
with Windows XP SP2, but I tried uploading on my old PC and still get the
same error message. It uploads the first page, but will not upload the other
pages and several images are missing on the home page.

I read the articles, but they have not been able to help me solve this issue.

 

[DavidF]

Humm, not sure I have an answer. Perhaps David Bartosik will see this, and
jump in to save the day.

One question, when you said in your original post that you "deleted your FTP
sites", did you delete all the HTML files that had been previously loaded to
your web host? If not try that.

DavidF

 

[mafixit]

Yup. I deleted the ftp sites and readded them, deleted all files in the
public folder...

I can access the site, Publisher just won't upload properly. It doesn't
make sense.

I can transfer files using ctueFTP, too, into the public folder.
Unfortunately I can't load my Publisher web site using ftp because publisher
has to create the site, right? Or is there a way to change my Publisher
document to an .html file that is loadable using a separate ftp program.

 

[DavidF]

Sorry, I am out of ideas about your problem, but yes, you can use FTP. When
you go to publish your site from the publisher document, choose to publish
it to a folder on your hard drive. Then FTP those HTML files and subfolders
to your site.

DavidF

 

[mafixit]

Okay, I can upload it that way, but...
The home page comes up, but the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th pages cannot be
found on the web.

They all have strange numbers in the html source, like page 697 instead of
linking to page 2.

They are correct in the original document.

How can I fix that?

 

[mafixit]

To explain further..

In my navigation bar in my .pub file, the first link "home" should point to
page1, or home...
the seond link, "Search HUD Listings", should point to page3, etc.

Take a look at www.goldkeypros.com

[David Bartosik]

the reason you should upload using publisher versus a separate utility is
because unless you know what you are doing you'll screw it up. The most
common screw up, only uploading the first page.

The file names publisher uses for the html files has ZERO relevance to a
pages location within the publisher web publication document.

4th paragraph -
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/2006/01/01/81270.aspx

when I hover my mouse over that menu item I see the link URL in the status
bar is showing it linked to the file - page2.htm
the html file named page2.htm doesn't mean it's the second page of the pub
file, it can be any page in the document you want it to be.

Use the web options under the tools menu or off the web toolbar. There you
will find custom naming for the html file. Use that properly or otherwise
accept Publisher default naming conventions.

As for your publishing situation. My thought is that if you deleted the ftp
location you had set up and been using, then the likely then is that when you
re-did the ftp location you did it wrong somewhere. so it doesn't work.

 

[mafixit]

I only deleted the ftp space AFTER the file would not upload properly, and I
can get into the public folder, so that's not it.

Page 2 is page 2 in the publisher file, and I do have the pages named as
they should be. I built this page two years ago and until last week, was
able to upload with no real problems. I even went back and attempted to use
an old version of the web page file, with the same result.

[mafixit]

Okay, Let's start over...

I tried to upload my .pub file to my pubic folder. Still getting the error
message that Publisher could not save.

See www.goldkeypros.com

It appears to partially load the first page, and then hangs up. Page 2 it
titled "Search HUD Listings", has a link in the navigation bar in the .pib
document to Page 2 of the document, but cannot be found after uploading. The
link on the first page on the web after loading says "link to Page 697" when
you hover over the navigation bar.

If anyone wants to try loading this on their end, I'll be happy to pass on
the file for them to try.

Some questions:

You said earlier in this thread that you just switched to a new laptop with
Pub 2003. Did you originally produce this site with Pub 2000?

From the Web Tools toolbar, or Tools > Options > Web Tab, what do you have
ticked under Saving?

Did you compress the images?

I dont remember, but it is quite possible that this was produced on an

Under Web Options:

Checked: Organinze Supporting Files...
Enable Incremental...

No other boxes have checkmarks.

I did not intentially compress any images.

If this site was produced in Pub 2000 originally, then you probably don't
understand the BIG changes that were made starting in Pub 2002...and
probably should not have switched. Go back and read the articles that David
Bartosik referenced at:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/articles/category/1922.aspx

Try unticking both those boxes under web options, and then try publishing
your site.

You SHOULD be using the compress pictures option. From looking at your site
on a dial-up connection, the images appear to be large, high resolution, and
take a long time to load. This is another change from Pub 2000, that you
should know about.

David,

I am starting with the original document - the same one I have
uploaded
many, many times. It's only a 6 page web site. I made one
minor change
to
a
section of text. Design checker has been run and there are
absolutely
no
issues.

The only difference now is that I am running Publisher 2003 on
a new
laptop
with Windows XP SP2, but I tried uploading on my old PC and
still get
the
same error message. It uploads the first page, but will not
upload the
other
pages and several images are missing on the home page.

I read the articles, but they have not been able to help me
solve this
issue.

More to your issue, David Bartosik has a good article on
troubleshooting
a
publishing problem, and other publishing articles that you
might
reference:

I presume that you are starting with the original Pub
document,
and
then
producing the new HTML files by File > Publish to the Web,
and
then
either
using ftp or http to publish those files to the web host?
You are
not
trying
to modify old HTML files, right? All changes should start
in the
Pub
file...

When you modified the Pub file the last time, did you
leave any
objects
overlapping the work area and the scratch area? Did you
run Design
Checker?

I am at my wit's end.

I am trying to publish an update to my client's web
site. My
host
is
IPowerWeb, I am using Publisher 2003 and have a dsl
connection.
I
have
followed suggestions carefully, including deleting my
ftp sites
and
re-adding
them. I have tried to upload through http:// as well as
ftp://.

Never had a problem publishing before, but now no matter
what
computer I
use
at any of my office locations, I get the stupid error
that
"publisher
could
not save the file to the web. Check your URL or network
connection
and
try
again".

I can create one page and upload it with no problem. My
host's
tech
support
can create a simple html page and upload it.

This file will not save. Nor will any other older

You'll have to send me your pub file and your url and login info so I can
attempt to repro your troubles. Send to dbartosik at mvps.org and reference
this threads subject line in the email subject.

You didn't need to send both a 2000 file and a 2003 file. I didn't go near
the 11 mb 2000 file, I stuck to the 740 kb 2003 file. I published it in
seconds with no issue - http://www.goldkeypros.com

After I cleaned up the mess on the server first.

My diagnosis... a failure to follow host instructions (which can vary widely
by host), as I found that your account has a folder called public_html. Very
last item on my article
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/articles/80560.aspx

The host would have instructions that instruct you to publish the web site
inside the public_html folder. It can't be located outside that folder.

I discovered the site had been published to that folder and outside that
folder which is a conflict. I blew everything away and a clean publish to
the correct location went flawlessly.

After David figured out the publishing problem, I just had to go take a
look. I noticed that only the 'contact' navbar link worked from the home
page. From the 'contact' page, if you mouse over the navbar links again
(which do work from this page), you will notice that each page is
capitalized, but the links from the home page are lower case. All the links
and page names should be redone, all in lower case.

DavidF

Okay,

Unchecked both boxes, compressed graphics. Still getting same error.

I am still getting the error and it still partially loads the site.

If this site was produced in Pub 2000 originally, then you probably don't
understand the BIG changes that were made starting in Pub 2002...and
probably should not have switched. Go back and read the articles that David
Bartosik referenced at:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/articles/category/1922.aspx

Try unticking both those boxes under web options, and then try publishing
your site.

You SHOULD be using the compress pictures option. From looking at your site
on a dial-up connection, the images appear to be large, high resolution, and
take a long time to load. This is another change from Pub 2000, that you
should know about.

DavidF

I dont remember, but it is quite possible that this was produced on an
earlier version of Publisher.

Under Web Options:

Checked: Organinze Supporting Files...
Enable Incremental...

No other boxes have checkmarks.

I did not intentially compress any images.

Karen

:

Some questions:

You said earlier in this thread that you just switched to a new

laptop
with

Pub 2003. Did you originally produce this site with Pub 2000?

From the Web Tools toolbar, or Tools > Options > Web Tab, what do

you
have

ticked under Saving?

Did you compress the images?

DavidF

Okay, Let's start over...

I tried to upload my .pub file to my pubic folder. Still getting the
error
message that Publisher could not save.

See www.goldkeypros.com

It appears to partially load the first page, and then hangs up.

Page 2
it

titled "Search HUD Listings", has a link in the navigation bar in

the
..pib

document to Page 2 of the document, but cannot be found after uploading.
The
link on the first page on the web after loading says "link to Page 697"
when
you hover over the navigation bar.

If anyone wants to try loading this on their end, I'll be happy to pass on
the file for them to try.

:

the reason you should upload using publisher versus a separate utility
is
because unless you know what you are doing you'll screw it up.

The
most

common screw up, only uploading the first page.

The file names publisher uses for the html files has ZERO

relevance
to a

pages location within the publisher web publication document.

Fix what? It's working as designed. Read all articles on page
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/articles/category/1922.aspx

to
get up

to
speed.

Okay, I can upload it that way, but...
The home page comes up, but the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th pages
cannot be
found on the web.

They all have strange numbers in the html source, like page 697
instead of
linking to page 2.

They are correct in the original document.

How can I fix that?

:

Sorry, I am out of ideas about your problem, but yes, you

can
use

FTP. When
you go to publish your site from the publisher document,

choose
to

publish
it to a folder on your hard drive. Then FTP those HTML files and
subfolders
to your site.

DavidF

Yup. I deleted the ftp sites and readded them, deleted

all
files

in the
public folder...

I can access the site, Publisher just won't upload

properly.
It

doesn't
make sense.

I can transfer files using ctueFTP, too, into the public folder.
Unfortunately I can't load my Publisher web site using ftp because
publisher
has to create the site, right? Or is there a way to change my
Publisher
document to an .html file that is loadable using a

separate
ftp

program.

:

Humm, not sure I have an answer. Perhaps David Bartosik

will
see

this,
and
jump in to save the day.

One question, when you said in your original post that you
"deleted your
FTP
sites", did you delete all the HTML files that had been
previously
loaded to
your web host? If not try that.
