Re: Publisher and 1&1

Hi David,

Problem 1: Received the following error message: "This error message is
usually associated with an attempt to access an FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
web site through a fire wall/proxy server and the proxy settings are not set
correctly to gain access.
To avoid this error message, change the FTP proxy settings to allow access
to the site." when trying to Open URL in Publish dialog box.

Problem 2: In Wise_FTP I get this error messgae "There was an unexpected
disconnect from server. Do you want to re-connect?" It doesn't let me.

I've followed your very helpful blogs to the letter so it must be me, I'm a
jinx!!

I would let Publisher use the default index.htm, assuming you are using Pub
2003.

Let's assume that for the moment, your settings are correct in your control
panel on 1&1. You can use the FTP program you downloaded, or set up your FTP
connection with Publisher. To use Publisher read the following article:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/pages/80556.aspx

If you are going to use a form on your site, then you will have to use HTTP
uploading protocol. "How to publish a Publisher web in HTTP":
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/pages/80557.aspx

You might want to try using Wise-FTP right now. Open that program, and setup
your FTP connection. You might read the instructions under help in Wise_FTP.
You will use ftp.jocknroll.co.uk as your address, and then the username
provided you by 1&1, should be something like this "n1234567", and a
password that might look like "4RL1tQ9G" ...once again given to your by 1&1.
While you are in the process, you might see a Passive Mode option, and you
might want to clear that if it is checked...especially if you can't login to
your account.

Once you have your ftp site created, then login to your site. You should
probably see a ".index.html.old" file, and a "logs" folder. If you do, then
this is your root directory and where you upload your Publisher produced
"index.htm" file, and "index_files" folder.

Good luck...

I have woken up this morning with a fresh desire to beat this problem.
Apologies for the post of self-pity!

David,

I have gone into the Domain Overview section of the 1and1 Control Panel. I
have ticked the box beside jocknroll.co.uk (my chosen domain) but as soon
as
I do that the destination menu greys out.

Stupid question: do I have to save the web pages I've produced (as made on
Publisher) as "index.htm" or "index.html" ?

I'll be back in a few minutes once I've had a brain-food breakfast of
muesli
and caffeine!

Cheers

Paul

Paul,

Don't feel too stupid...or as someone from England told me, like a
"dimbo".
1&1 is not really clear about how and where to upload your files. And
their
customer support leaves a bit to be desired too. I spent quite a bit of
time
helping another person with the same problem.

In that case at least, it wasn't clear as to where to upload the files.
If
you are able to access your webspace by FTP, then the index.htm file and
index_files folder need to be uploaded to the root folder which just
shows a
"/."

If this doesn't help clarify your issue, then before you post back, log
into
your control panel, and check a couple things for me. I don't remember
exactly how you get there, but check under Domain management or some
such.
You will want to get to where you see your domain name listed in a box
where
the menu items are New, Destination, Contact, DNS, Transfer, Google
sitemaps, Extras, and Info. What does it say under Destination? Does it
say
Home Directory?

Then check the box beside your domain name, and click the Destination
menu
item, and then Show Destination. Then look under Home Directory, and see
if
the Existing directory is a simple forward slash with a period, like this
/.
If it isn't then make note of what it is, when you post back.

Mary,

Thanks for that. However, as a complete novice, I shall take my
preferred
option of having a good cry and going to my bed for ten to twelve
hours.
Perhaps it'll make some sense in the morning because at the moment it
justs
makes me feel rather stupid.

I've just spent days putting a 15-page website together on Publisher
2003.
After registering a domian name and getting a web host (1&1) I
thought
it
would be plain sailing to get the site up and running.

I've just spent 40 minutes on the phone to 1&1 and I'm none the
wiser
or
further forward into how I can get my site up.

I've followed the Help on Publisher and followed the instructions to
the
letter but still nothing. 1&1 even got me to download another FTP
Server
(Wise-FTP) and try doing it through that but again nothing.

Any suggestions because I can't afford to tear anymore hair out!!
