Publishing to Comcast

[Karen]

Anyone else publish web pages using the space Comcast gives its users? I
have a family web site that I have published for months using Frontpage 2000
without any problem. I recently wanted to publish another site to one of my
other email addresses with Comcast but it says I do not have the
authorization to 'Author pages'. I have used Comcast's instant support
which wasn't instant or support. Before I get on the line with them, I
wondered if there was anyone out there who had experienced this same thing.
Thanks for your time.

This is one of the error messages I have been getting.

401 Authorization Required500 Internal Server Error

to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials
(e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the

You need to contact your host as you do not have the correct permissions.

Thanks Thomas. I am on hold with them right now. It is just wierd that I
have published exactly the same way to two different email addresses but
this one will not go through. Why would I have different permissions
anyhow?

 

[Karen]

Well they were no help. Kept trying to tell me that the error was with
frontpage. I was able to use their utility to publish an index page to the
same address, but I cannot figure out why frontpage would publish to two
different sites through them but not this particular one. Oh well - the
quest goes on.

I haven't had any problems publishing to several e-mail addresses.

Does the other e-mail address have Personal Web Pages enabled?
Are you publishing using https? https://home.comcast.net/~username
Are you sure you supplied the correct name (name must be lower case) and
password for the e-mail address?

Yes to all those questions. PWP is showing active. I can log in to that
account, check mail, etc... no problem with password. I even used their
site builders to do a quick template to see if I could publish through them
and it worked. So i am back to square one trying to figure out why
frontpage will publish to two other email addresses but not to this one. It
acts like I am entering the wrong password or don't have the correct
credentials. I am using https. I have even tried to do a detect and repair
on frontpage just in case - and it did not finish. Got an error there too.
