errors reopening new site

Ok..I've spent the entire day trying to figure this out - I wanted to revamp
a site I've made - so I deleted it from my host server...and then remade it
so that there would be nothing in the files... then I opened FP 2002 and
opened a NEW website in the localhost area - created the website and tried
to upload it to my server ... it goes thru the whole process - even to the
point of 'processing website' and then quits and gives me a 500 internal
error message.... ALSO ... when I close fp and then reopen it - and try to
open the site, it gives me an error saying "that the contents of a fp
components have been modified. These contents will be overwritten when you
save the page." I have also been getting a runtime error of 91 - object
variable or block variable not set - I click ok and then I get a 440 error -
runtime error - automation error; click ok, and then I get the error 91
again click ok, then I get the 440 error again, click ok, then I'm back to
the content error...click ok, and then it opens the page - well, actually,
this time it said system error and then shut down the program and then
reopened the program immediately.... I've run the detect and repair...same
thing .... ANY IDEAS????

I'm going nuts!

thanks
Pam
 
On your local machine:

Disk Based web: open the folder with your web using FP | File Menu | Open
web and enter the path to the folder holding your web content.

Server Based web: open your web using FP | File Menu | Open web and enter
http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1. You should see a folder with your web,
and it should have a globe on it, if it is a subweb, once you have that
open, you then should be able to publish to the remote server via FP | File
Menu | Publish web command using http://www.domainname.com if the remote
server has the FP extensions, otherwise use ftp://location (as provided by
your host).

Thanks Tom, but this is exactly how I've always done it - when I open FP
2002 (used to use 2000 - have had some strange things with this one though)
I go to File/Open Web and it opens a dialog box with the choices of folders
named History, My Documents, Desktop, Favorites and My Network Places. I
choose My Network Places and then in the open area it shows a Globe (no file
folder underneath it) that says Entire Network and then ALL my server based
webs - it also shows LOCALHOSTS - which is what I choose and then that opens
up all my disk based webs. If I'm NOT changing the xara menumaker, I choose
my website from the localhost - (if I am changing or adding a menu, I have
to work from the c:/inetpub/wwwroot/ )

so basically, I'm working from the localhost - and then I publish as
usual - Publish/ and name of domain....

However...I'm STILL getting the error the contents of the fp component have
been modified and will be overwritten when you save the page. I'm wondering
if this is because of the Xara menumaker in 2002???? This is the first time
I've ever had this message since upgrading to 2002. And since I also notice
that when I try to change/update the menu (while working from the
inetpub/wwwroot folder) fp doesn't open up the xara menu anymore, it just
tells me that the fp component is not identified or something like that. Can
the two be linked?

Has anyone else had a problem with xaramenu in fp 2002?

thanks for any help -

Pam

First: When working with a server based web you need to always open the web
first, and in this case you need to do File Menu | Open Web and enter
http://localhost/webname.

Second: When you work directly in the web via c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ you are
bypassing the server and the FP extensions, so FP has no idea that any
changes have been made to the web content, and you will continue to have
problems.

Third: Any time you modify any FP webbot code outside of the webbot
properties dialog, FP will issue the warning that the webbot changes will be
overwritten when you save the page.

You need to create your menu outside of FP, and then save/export to your
desktop, then import the generated pages and scripts into your current open
FP web, then insert or use within your web.
 
very enlightening! thanks... couple more questions then

*** gotcha *** pretty much do that all the time except for the xaramenu
thing

****** but the xaramenu is located IN FP - its under the insert menu and I
thought it was integrated with FP? had no problem creating/changing in fp
2000 - its just in 2002 that it seems fp doesn't recognize it - even though
it is still listed under Insert menu....

again, thanks!

here.

The reason you are getting the error below is because you are modifying the
FP component (webbot) outside of the FP component properties dialog.

If XaraMenu is a FP add-in, then you always need to have a web open first,
then use the menu option to launch XaraMenu and then use it's properties
dialog to add or modify menu items.

It is very possible that your version of XaraMenu is not compatible with
FP2002. Have you checked with the author for any updates?

It is important that you stop accessing your web directly via Windows
Explorer (c:\...) and always use FP to open the web via http://localhost

so how do I modify it within the component properties dialog?

Pam,

In normal view of the page, you should be able to select the webbot, then
right click and select the webbot properties if it is a true FP add-in and
works with your version of FP.

then something is wrong with the xara menu version (which I wrote to them 2
days ago to find out any updates - no answer yet - sigh...) so it must not
be a true addin ... although it does install itself into fp and looks like
one!

darn
