Default Publishing a webpage w/Publisher 2003

Please tell me what I am doing wrong...



I have created a webpage using Publisher 2003 .. I am using FTP, I have a
registered domain name & a host (ipowerweb)...



Here is how I am attempting to upload my webpage using Publisher 2003 (See
Below)

http://support.ipowerweb.com/index.php?id=18 (version 2003, R/H Column)..



I am doing..



Publisher is open..

1. Publish to web

2. FTP add/modify - double click

3. location: ftp://mydomainname.org .. username & password given to me by my
host -- ok

4. Open public HTML

5. Save file name as index.html -- save

6. goes to screen that says publishing .. At this point publisher locks up
... Task Manager reads not responding and I have to end task..



Where am I going wrong ?



My Questions are;



1. When you get to the add/modify FTP Locations it should be;
ftp://mydomainname.org, the username & password (is this the password
provided to me by my host ?)

2. After you open the public HTML, it says save file as index.html.. My
Question is this; there is a file (public html) that is index.html & one
that is domainname.index.html, which file am I to save as index.html ? Is it
the entire file ?

3. I can not get it to save..



Any information as to what & where I am doing wrong would be greatly
appreciated..



Thanks,

Scott

in the future please update your original thread and not start a new one so
that the issue can be followed properly.

also please note we have a web forum at microsoft.public.publisher.webdesign
for posting web topics.

that tutorial looks complete and easy to follow.


I am doing..
Publisher is open..
1. Publish to web
2. FTP add/modify - double click
3. location: ftp://mydomainname.org .. username & password given to me by

my
host -- ok
4. Open public HTML

If Publisher is locking up that does not mean you are publishing
incorrectly. It means there is a problem with the Publisher program or
document.

In this case I suspect you have an object(s) on a page(s) that overlaps the
document area (white page) and the scratch area (gray outer area). All
objects must be fully on the page or off. Double check your Pub file for
this situation and correct.



Where am I going wrong ?


in "assuming" you are publishing incorrectly.


My Questions are;
1. When you get to the add/modify FTP Locations it should be;
ftp://mydomainname.org, the username & password (is this the password
provided to me by my host ?)


yes it is.

2. After you open the public HTML, it says save file as index.html.. My
Question is this; there is a file (public html) that is index.html & one
that is domainname.index.html, which file am I to save as index.html ? Is

it
the entire file ?



the folder publichtml that you are to publish to IS SPECIFIC to your host
and NOT applicable elsewhere.
Pub 2003 defaults to index.htm, no work is required by you other than
clicking the save button.
do not over think and over complicate it, the directions they provided are
complete, simply follow them.

3. I can not get it to save..



I got that point already. Please, take a deep breath and count to 100.


Any information as to what & where I am doing wrong would be greatly
appreciated..



Once you've finished counting and are calm accept the fact that your
directions are complete and you took the proper steps. Then review your pub
file for the aforementioned issue. You would then correct it and re-attempt
to publish. I would also suggest rebooting the pc to make sure you don't
still have a connection open between the server and Publisher.

Update this thread with your findings.
