The error message "You cannot copy FP web to itself. Please choose
a
different location." indicates that you have opened and are editing
http://www.mysitename.com, and attempting to publish to the same
place.
When you publish to
http://mysitename.com FP does not recognise
this
as the same location, though it actually is. There is no need to
publish[1], since you are editing the live site.
As for the problem page - please give an actual link to it.

That's strange because I am not able to publish to
http://www.mysitename.com.
As mentioned before the message "You cannot copy FP web to
itself.Please
choose a different location." comes up and then, if I try to
publish
to
http://mysitename.com it works and the site gets published
(except
my one
problem page!). We were told (from our host) that the address we
want to
publish to is our domain in the form of "mysitename.com". So,
http://mysitename.com should be correct, shouldn't it?
Could it be that I need the FP Server Extensions which I think I
do
not have
to publish this page (includes application form with submit
button
and leads
to thank you page)?
Please, somebody send some good news! Thanks a lot.
:
http://www.mysitename.com
and
http://mysitename.com
They are not the same. Granted both URLs do point to the same
content, however depending on how the
host has configured the FP extensions, forms may only work on
when
you publish to
http://www.mysitename.com.
I always publish to
http://www.domainname.com
You can only test content locally via http where the FP
extensions
are required or server-side
script needs to be processed. You must be running Windows 2000
Pro
or Windows XP Pro with IIS and
the FP extensions installed to test locally via http.

I just saw that the site
www.dreamteam.com really exists, this
is
not my
site, I just wanted to make a specific example. Anyways, I
still
do not
understand which location I have to choose if I want to
publish
to the WWW.
Can you give me an example, please? Somewhere I read that I
have
to take the
domain name as the location which my hosting company gave me
which would be
www.mysitename.com but apparently this is not the case. As I
told
you, I
published to
http://mysitename.com and my site is up and
everything works
except this one page with the application form. I still have
no
idea why not.
Could there be a problem with a hyperlink or anything else?
Regarding the backup copy to c:\My Documents\New Website\2006,
this worked
(THANKS!), I have all the pages etc. in a folder on my
computer
now. But
after I did this and checked on the website (Internet
Explorer)
with every
click on each page the message "To help protect your security,
Internet
Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content
that could
access your computer..." shows up and, which is way worse, one
page where you
have to enter a password to get other forms does not work at
all
anymore. You
can enter the password but when you press on the enter button,
nothing comes
up. Usually it leads to another page with documents to
download.
What does
that means now? To avoid this problem, I just published
everything to
http:\mysitename.com again and the password thing works again.
But this can't
be the best solution!
What's wrong with it?? HELP!!!
Thanks.
:
Yes If your real online hosted site is at
http://www.dreamteam.com
You can publish a backup (on your PC ) to
C:\My Documents\New Website\2006
(note the direction of the slashes corrected above from your
post)
or better still to
C:\NewWebsite2006

| Hi there, Thank you so much for your response! So, I
checked
if the pages are

| Stefan (or anybody else), when you say I have to publish it
to
another

http://www.myothersitename.com does
that
mean that I

this affect the
| site name for the "public"? If my name would be
www.dreamteam.com, I would
| now publish it to
www.notagoodfit.com? Sorry, but as you
can
see, I have no
| idea and don't know much about "Computer language".

files
as well and

Is
this correct at
