Cannot access my web to publish

Joe S.

This saga has been going on for two weeks with no resolution in sight.
Wonder if anyone here can help.

Here's the story.

I have three domains each with a corresponding website"
www.domain1.org
www.domain2.org

www.domain3.com

1 and 2 are hosted by Company A; 3 is hosted by Company B.

1 and 2 are each 5-6 years old and have no problems.

3 is six months old and had no problems until 3-4 weeks ago. When I tried
to publish, I got two errors:

SERVER ERROR: CLIENT CLOSED CONNECTION

-- or --


SERVER ERROR: an error occurred accessing your FrontPage webfiles. Authors -
if authoring against a webserver, please contact the webmaster for this
server's site. Webmasters please see the server's system log for more
details.


I needed to publish one new article, so, I ftp'ed to the site and the new
article appeared.

A few days later, I tried to publish and got the same two errors. Further,
I could not access the live web on the server; I could only access the web
on my hard drive.

Every time I contacted tech support, they said that they were able to access
the live web with no problem by typing http://domain3.com in the More Webs
box on MS FP. I tried that and got the same two errors.

I left home on vacation for a week and asked that they removed all files
from the server and set me up as a brand-new customer who had never
published before. They did and when I returned home I went to their control
panel, installed FP extensions, and tried to publish. Same two errors.

I am running Windows XP Home Edition and FP 98. Also, I tried to access the
live web from both my desktop and laptop -- same story. Meanwhile, domain1
and domain2 are no problem whatsoever.

What are we missing?

Thanks.
 
What did they tell you was in the the server's system log when you asked
them?

What O/S is the host server, Joe?
Is it a Unix/Linux/Apache with FP 2002 extensions? If so, that version of
extensions for those O/S will not support FP 98.
