I can't seem to get the 'Publish' to finish! once it reaches "We are now publishing your website, please stand by..." is almost always get stuck on a file. Not the same file, but different files. I'll cancel the process then restart it, and again, stuck on a different file! And no, I don't believe it I need to Re-Sync (because it does it there too)!!!

It does (sometimes) finish. but not very often!
Thanks for any help!

I've seen this a few times. What I do is add another html page with nothing on it and republish. Nine out of ten times it will finish publishing after doing this.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Still not able to publish!!!! And now my site is all messed up because of this! :(

It wouldn't be so bad if it stopped on the same file each time, but it's very random???

I think it's time to put in a support request so someone can have a look at what's going on.

Have you tried adding a new page like Eric suggested? Another thing I would try is deleting everything off the server and re-upload. I have had this issue before as well... Usually this works.

What operating system are you using? What anti virus program are you running.? Has anything at all changed since it last worked successfully?

Rab, it's at the top of this page, the Coffee Cup main menu.

Where are you located Rab? Good solid internet connection? Random errors like that are usually caused by noise or interference on the connection. Do you have your FTP settings cofigured for 'passive upload' and 'Binary' transfer? Have you tried to FTP your site files up instead of using VSD? You might try using DirectFTP. You might try zipping all the files, upload the zip file to the server and then unzipping. This works on 'some' servers. Who's your host? Have you contacted them to see if they are having server issues? See if they can move you to a different server.

Just some suggestions...
