Okay,
I was trying a few things this morning and was still having trouble.
I deleted the orginal navigation bar and created a new one. Then I made
sure the web options boxes were unchecked, but checked allowing .png graphics.
The site is now working fine. I don't know if the navigation bar had some
issues that were causing the problem (or one of the problems).
I did clean the files out of the server that were outside the public folder
but David said he also had to do that, so I don't know what happened. Once in
while I hit the publish key too soon (prior to clicking on the public folder)
but always try to get those files out of there.
I understand the publishing instructions of the host and follow them, but
occassionally make a mistake, when my fingers work ahead of my brain
Thanks for all your help on this - I am off to change the password so the
dirty little devils who infected the site with the original virus can't get
in again.

DavidF said: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.

mafixit said:Okay,
Unchecked both boxes, compressed graphics. Still getting same error.
I am still getting the error and it still partially loads the site.
DavidF said: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.

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.

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
