My site, which ran fine for two years, all of a sudden cannot be published.
Shortly after I start to upload, I get a message saying "the server
unexpectedly closed the connection" or "The server sent a respnse which
Frontpage could not parse. If you are trying to connect to a Windows
Sharepoint server, check with the server's administrator to make sure Windows
Sharepoint services is installed correctly."

I have gone through a level 1, 2, & 3 support nightmare. Originally they
told me my Frontpage extensions were corrupted, and after hours on the phone
over ten days trying a myriad of things, they ultimately now have moved me to
a new server. I just tried to upload to a completely new server and have the
same problem. I can see that some pages have uploaded but cannot
completethe publishing process without getting the same error messages.

I am now wondering if it can be something local, perhaps some settings on my
Frontpage or my virus software?. I have Frontpage 2003 and Norton 360. I'm
only bothering you guys because I don't know what to do, but I'm not going to
get further with my hosting company at this point.

Go here: http://www.95isalive.com/fixes/fpclean.htm and download FP Cleaner ( with Expression Web Designer and
SharePoint Designer support )
Download links are at the bottom of the page.
Run the functions that clear:
The Hidden Temporary files.
The Hidden Cache (*.web) files.


Then open your website in IE and select Edit with FrontPage.
Log in when prompted.
Then click remote website in the status bar.
The local site (left window ) will actually be the one on the server
and the remote ( right window ) will actually be the one on your hard drive.

Right click a file in the remote and click Publish Sleeted file(s)
See if it will publish remote ( hard drive ) to local ( server )

If Norton 360 has "Internet Worm Protection", try disabling it.

Is this to identify where the problem is? Or is it a permanent fix?

It's to clear out temporary files (which can and do get corrupted) that
FrontPage leaves lying around.

You can do that manually, but, it's a pain.

You should try this if shutting off that garbage Norton doesn't do the
trick.

Possibly a fix.

If it will open properly and then let you publish a file when you click "Edit With" in the browser,
it will "probably" open and publish normally.

Do you happen to know if that's what they call it? I've got so many
differnet 'protection items' on this thing (intrusion prevention, firewall
etc.)

I know that's what it was called in Norton Antivirus - I had to disable it
the summer before last and eventually uninstall it altogether because it was
detecting the FrontPage Server Extensions as worm-like behavior.
