Troubleshoot publishing files and folders

Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003

You may have published to a Web server that does not have the most recent version of the FrontPage Server Extensions from Microsoft or Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services. Without the server extensions, certain features will not work, such as most form handlers and hit counters.

Check with your Internet service provider (ISP) or Web site administrator to find out if the Web server you are publishing to has the server extensions or Windows SharePoint Services installed.

ShowI want to publish a file that I originally set as Don't Publish.

The Don't Publish command is a toggle. To publish a file that is currently set to Don't Publish, do the following:
  • In the Folder List, right-click the file you want, and then click Don't Publish on the shortcut menu.

    If the Folder List is hidden, on the View menu, click Folder List.

ShowI republished a Web site with a guest book that contained comments from site visitors, and now the guest book pages are blank.

You should always publish your Web site before you republish certain files that contain Web components, such as guest book forms, hit counters, or discussion Web sites. If you have created and published a Web site that includes a guest book, and then later update your Web site and republish all of your files, your guest book will be replaced by a blank one.
