problems uploading with FP2002

[steveW]

I have purchased a hosting account and am trying to upload my files via Frontpage. I enter the 'publish destination' as http://www.footy4kids.co.uk but my username/password is continually rejected. I am confident that I am entering them correctly.

In the end, I uploaded via the ftp utility in the control panel. The files uploaded OK but I can't see them on the web. When I type www.footy4kids.co.uk into my browser address bar I can only see the holding page that I deleted several days ago!

I'm not sure if these are factors:
1. soon after I purchased the hosting I went to my exisiting host and pointed my domain towards the Hostlogical nameservers.
2. Also, I have requeste that my domain is transferred to hostlogical.

I would really appreciate some advice!!

thanks

Check your apache error logs for clues. Contact your host to see if they can find anything in the main apache logs as well.

You've posted elsewhere that your DNS changes haven't propagated yet. FP uploads won't work until your DNS is propagated.

If you know how to change your OS's "hosts" file to override DNS lookups you can put the right IP# and hostname into your hosts file and then restart FP and it'll probably work.

(It's in different places on different versions of Windows and I don't use Windows so I can't help you on the location.)

But otherwise you'll have to wait.
