"Publish web" takes forever and eventually fails (FrontPage)

[Tom [Pepper] Willett]

Do you also have Norton Internet Security installed?
Or, another firewall, other than Windows Firewall?

I decided to just forego dealing with Frontpage and am re-doing my website in
Publisher and using an FTP program. I can't wait any longer to update my
website. Luckily for me, my site is only about 22 pages long.

Thanks for all of your input.

I am have the same problem, not able to publish one website using http but
if I move it to another machine I can publish using http. It really bugs
me because it is my website, all the others I can publish fine. I even
went so far as to do a clean install (formatted drive c and still the
same problem is there. I did restore the data files.

I can publish to the webspace using Frontpage FTP after turning off the
Frontpage extensions. My host thinks it is a Frontpage problem because I
can publish from another machine. I deleted and re-created the webspace,
same result. About the only thing I have not tried is to delete my e-mail
account and setting it up again. I need to wait 31 days before it is
truly deleted and I can't wait that long!

Publisher? Going from bad to worse.

But, I wish you luck in your mission.

Sorry you couldn't answer the questions.

I went to another computer and tried it from our desktop...Now I get a
message that says, "The server sent a response which FP cannot parse.
If
you
are trying to connect to a FP server, check the servers administrator
to
make sure the FP server extensions are installed properly."

I did and they are - he even used FP to upload files from his computer
to
my
web and it worked fine? I am thinking that my FP is just bad?! (Same
FP
disks used to install on both computers.)

Any thoughts??

No, I only have the firewall that came with Windows XP Pro.

I have a preview version of MS Expressions Web Designer. I started it,
opened the website and published it to my webspace. Frontpage still gives
the usual long winded useless error message. I guess this is another
workaround, design with Frontpage and publish with Expressions. If I am
going to be forced to learn how to use Expression Web Design I hope
Microsoft brings out a good book soon. (I'm dreaming)
