Howdy,

I've inherited a mess of a web from a previous webster. It's running on Apache/Linux, I'm using FP2002 to re-do the site.

I want to wipe out the existing web & subweb out on the server and start "fresh", the only thing I want to keep is _stats. The server has a control panel...I can't remember what version, but I have access to it (but not much experience with unix.

Anyway...what files/folders should I NOT delete? Or should I delete everything and have the admin server dood reinstall the FP extensions?

Thanks

Rob
 
If the remote server has the FP extensions, then open the site directly on
the server in FP, then Tools | Web Settings | Advanced and enable viewing of
hidden directories. then you can delete everything that you can see with the
exception of the _private and images folders, with these 2 folders, just
delete any content within them.

2 Options.
1. In CPanel open Access Menu and then File Manager
and delete everything in the public_html folder and the
www folder.
Empty the trash can.

2. Open the live site in FrontPage and
delete everything you see in the root web.
Basically everything you can see with FrontPage in folder view.

Or as an alternative when you are ready to publish
the new web: Recalculate hyperlinks in the new local web, then select
Publish Web...
Publish all and during the publish process FrontPage *should* prompt you
to delete files that are on the server but not in the web you are
publishing.

Steve & Tom,,

Thanks! I'm gonna wipe it tomorrow...keeping my fingers crossed.

One other question, how come _stats gets downloaded to local machine at all? All it does is make things screwy when uploading since the server won't allow _stats to be overwritten...at least that's what I surmise from upload errors. I ended up manually making every file in _stats "don't publish" status - before I discoverd Jimco's nifty add-in. What would you need stats for on the local copy anyway?

Thanks again,

Rob

Is it the FrontPage stats feature or
the CPanel stats data that's downloaded.
I use CPanel stats, and the way my servers
are set up, the stats are maintained above the
root of the web and aren't seen / touched by
FrontPage and can only be accessed via CPanel.

Must be a CP feature since I'd never seen it before on any of the other webs I work on, this being the first with CP so I assumed it's a unix thang.

When I realized I inherited a major mess of a web...I downloaded everything (published down) to my local machine. Then I made some minor changes and when I went to up load them I got lots of errors on files I'd never see before. When I looked closer I noticed that on the local copy I had _stats folder. HUH? So I think what was happening was that FP was trying to overwrite the server's _stats folder - which it couldn't. Then the whole world turned dark and dismal.

I would "slick" the server, have the host
reset the stats settings and extensions,
or simply delete the *local copy* of the stats
folder, recalculate links and then publish.

That should make things sunny and bright again.

Excellent advice on the other posts. However...do not delete anything
unless you back up the entire site. You never know what you might need
later.

Q
 
AH LIFE IS GOOD (well, almost:-)

I dumped everythang off the server except the stats, republished the basics of the new site and it's purrring along nicely. Really nice not having 78 meg of garbage to sift through!

Except...(you know the one 'little except'?)...

In FP (locally) I changed the Title of the index page (just the title) from Home to Ballet & Friends. I changed it in Page Properties and in Navigation View...but...in the Link Bar Navigation buttons it refused to change to the new title. Did a refresh, also recalculate, dumped temp files...everythang I could think of with only one beer in me and it still won't change to the new title...What am I missing??

Its not in a shared border...just a left table column.

Thanks!!

I don't think that's what I meant. Your suggestion would change the name of Home globally, I don't think that's what I want? Or do I....

Or is that what the problem is??? I'm almost certain I've changed the TITLE of the Home page before and had it appear correctly on the Nav buttons. Dang now I'm confused. I guess I should just try it huh...

Thanks.

| | | | | | Steve & Tom,,
| | |
| | | Thanks! I'm gonna wipe it tomorrow...keeping my fingers crossed.
| | |
| | | One other question, how come _stats gets downloaded to local machine at
| | all?
| | | All it does is make things screwy when uploading since the server won't
| | | allow _stats to be overwritten...at least that's what I surmise from
| | upload
| | | errors. I ended up manually making every file in _stats "don't publish"
| | | status - before I discoverd Jimco's nifty add-in. What would you need
| | stats
| | | for on the local copy anyway?
| | |
| | | Thanks again,
| | |
| | | Rob

| | | | | | | 2 Options.
| | | | 1. In CPanel open Access Menu and then File Manager
| | | | and delete everything in the public_html folder and the
| | | | www folder.
| | | | Empty the trash can.
| | | |
| | | | 2. Open the live site in FrontPage and
| | | | delete everything you see in the root web.
| | | | Basically everything you can see with FrontPage in folder view.
| | | |
| | | | Or as an alternative when you are ready to publish
| | | | the new web: Recalculate hyperlinks in the new local web, then select
| | | | Publish Web...
| | | | Publish all and during the publish process FrontPage *should* prompt
| you
| | | | to delete files that are on the server but not in the web you are
| | | | publishing.

| | | | | | | | Howdy,
| | | |
| | | | I've inherited a mess of a web from a previous webster. It's running
| on
| | | | Apache/Linux, I'm using FP2002 to re-do the site.
| | | |
| | | | I want to wipe out the existing web & subweb out on the server and
| start
| | | | "fresh", the only thing I want to keep is _stats. The server has a
| | control
| | | | panel...I can't remember what version, but I have access to it (but
| not
| | | much
| | | | experience with unix.
| | | |
| | | | Anyway...what files/folders should I NOT delete? Or should I delete
| | | | everything and have the admin server dood reinstall the FP extensions?
| | | |
| | | | Thanks
| | | |

Nevermind :-)... of course you were correct. I guess because it's the index/home page you have to change it in web settings.

Thanks..

Rob



I don't think that's what I meant. Your suggestion would change the name of Home globally, I don't think that's what I want? Or do I....

Or is that what the problem is??? I'm almost certain I've changed the TITLE of the Home page before and had it appear correctly on the Nav buttons. Dang now I'm confused. I guess I should just try it huh...

Thanks.

R.

| Tools - Site (Web) Settings - Navigation Tab
| Change the setting for Home Page there.

| | AH LIFE IS GOOD (well, almost:-)
|
| I dumped everythang off the server except the stats, republished the basics
| of the new site and it's purrring along nicely. Really nice not having 78
| meg of garbage to sift through!
|
| Except...(you know the one 'little except'?)...
|
| In FP (locally) I changed the Title of the index page (just the title) from
| Home to Ballet & Friends. I changed it in Page Properties and in Navigation
| View...but...in the Link Bar Navigation buttons it refused to change to the
| new title. Did a refresh, also recalculate, dumped temp files...everythang I
| could think of with only one beer in me and it still won't change to the new
| title...What am I missing??
|
| Its not in a shared border...just a left table column.
|
| Thanks!!
|
| Rob
|
| | | I would "slick" the server, have the host
| | reset the stats settings and extensions,
| | or simply delete the *local copy* of the stats
| | folder, recalculate links and then publish.
| |
| | That should make things sunny and bright again.
