service.lck?

[Phil Papeman]

Hi Guys,

Just copied a web from work (FP 2002/Win XP) on to my home machine (FP
2000/Win 98 SE). When I try to open it in FrontPage I get the
following error message:

Server error: Cannot open file "C:\My Documents\My
Webs\montana_2_ct\_vti_pvt\service.lck" for writing.

Never seen this one before. Yikes. Any help deeply appreciated.
Thanks.

Phil

Did you "Publish" the web to your machine??

 

[Phil Papeman]

No. It's disk based. I simply transferred it from work to home on a
CD-R.

Oddly, it was just two days ago that I took the original website to
work. Did not have this trouble then.

Do a search for the file and remove the read only attribute.

 

[Steve Easton]

Actually, you may have to remove the read only
attributes from every file in the web.

There's a utilitu name remover that will do it.
I can e-mail a copy if you need it.

Need to reprogram my spell checker or clear the
custom dictionary file, one or the other.

I meant utlility named Remover.

When you copy files to a CD, the files are all marked as Read-Only, so you
will need to copy the content of the CD to a folder on your HD, then open
the folder in Windows Explorer and select all folders/files and remove the
Read-Only attribute, then open the Folder in FP and publish it to the final
location on your HD.

Yep. A Microsoft KB article confirms that transferring webs by CD will
cause certain files to be marked read only. How convenient. Jeez.

Thanks for your help Steve.

Hi Thomas,

Perhaps a lame question, but how do I, exactly, select all files and
folders within a parent folder and remove the Read-Only attribute?
Using Windows 98 SE.

Check your e-mail.

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

In Windows 98 SE, you have to open each folder and then select all files.

Thanks. What's the best way to transport files to eliminate this
headache?

You have to be able to publish via FP between machines.

The best option is to publish to a web host that has the FP extensions, then
from the other machine, open the site on that host and publish down to that
PC.

Either:

1. Zip the source Web.
2. Copy the zip file onto the CD.
3. Unzip from teh CD onto the second machine.

or use the XCOPY command to copy the files from the
CD to your hard disk. For example, at the C:> prompt,
enter:

XCOPY d:\myweb\*.* "c:\My Documents\MyWebs\myweb" /S
