Problem after coverting to subweb -- Help

G

Guest

After I coverted a directory to a subweb, I now have on my discussion web
page a link to the web page instead of the contents of the page, something
like [../_part1/tocproto.htm]. I am currently using an internal staging area
to test during the creation of my web. The files _part/tocproto.htm exists
at the publish location but not at the local location. Anyone have any ideas
of how to fix this problem I caused??

Thanks,
Sherry

You need to create the discussion web within the subweb or as a subweb to start with, not by later
converting it.

You need to create it as subweb or you need to create the subweb, then open the subweb and add the
Discussion web to it, you can not convert the Discussion Web to a subweb after the fact.

Ooch, didn't want to here that!
Okay 2 additional questions. If I already have the subweb, what do I need
to do to get rid of the existing discussion web portion besides deleting the
corresponding pages?

If I have a subweb and a discussion in it (created the correct way) and I
1st publish it to a staging area(on internal server) to verify all is working
okay; then I publish just the subweb to the live site. Can you forsee any
problems with it working as it should?

Thanks for the input in advance

You need to manually go thru and delete the old DW in the root (including it's _hidden folders)

So that would include the folders: _borders, _derived, _fpclass, _part,
_vti_cnf, _vti_pvt ... the whole folders or only some of the docs inside?
