on January 1st i was able to upload my site
on January 4th i am not able to upload my site
nothing have changed and i have changed nothing so why the switch up?
inspite of nothing changing between the 1st to the 4th, this is what i have done so far:
- i have searched these forums; opened 20 some odd threads and tried every single piece of advice given, old and new.
- i've also read up at hostways user info and i have every exact thing correct.
- i tried downloading a patch zip file link from a thread
- i've ran the 'register.exe' file
- i've tried every version of FTP, user name, password and WWW fields
- i've tried unchecking/checking the passive checkbox
- i've rebooted
- i've turned on and off the firewall (I use Windows One Care)
- when i've tested the connection and resynced the site i get the same error message or a blank un-usable screen
- i've run the site as administrator
i've tried all these "ways" in all variations and just can't do it.
i only have the weekends to work on this and i know that CCS is closed at night when i get home (ya'll close on the weekend too?).
me thinks VSD doesn't like me... but...
i'm willing to try anything else. this may be a long thread because as you all respond i can only test your suggestions when i get home at night from work. i can respond to the thread via work and anwser yes and no to suggestions you all throw out if i've tried them or not.
if there is anything new i have missed, holla!
in the mean time i'm going to shut my computer down for a few hours and see if even that may work.
