I have been trying to publish my site and initially I was getting the catalog error so after reading some post I realized that I may have had some character problems so I renamed all of my pages with #'s and letter and it seems to have solved the catalog problem. Now when I try to publish I get a message this error message, "The program could establish a connection to the internet. Please check to see if you have entered the correct S-Drive or FTP information. You should also make sure your computer is connected tot the Internet".

I have access to the internet, I am able to access other websites and I am using the FTP setting not the S-Drive. Also when I opened the FTP settings tab I noticed that there is an account already set up is that the one I use or do I need to create a new account. One other question please, also the UN & PW fields have data entered is that defaulted.

Thanks in advance and any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Where would you like to publish your site? S-drive or another host?

Hi Rocco, I just went through this about an hour ago. Got that same message about the internet connection. Turns out I made a typo in the FTP settings.
Go to set up FTP account first and either choose the one you want or add a new site, save it then go to the Publish icon and click. If it doesn't work, you can go back to where you input the site's ftp settings and choose to run a test - that might tell you something.

Let us know how it goes

Good morning paintbrush, I called my hosting company & they advised that the server is my domain, so I tried with & without the ftp. prefix. In response to Eric's question I am publishing to a hosting company! When I run a rest the error is invalid UN or PW, I am a little confused, when I first accessed the ftp area there was a UN & PW inserted in the fields and that did not work so I inserted the UN & PW to log into the CC support area is that the correct UN & PW info

Thanks so much for your assistance.

Hi Roccosouth,
If anything I would suggest clicking on support above where they can give you a more personal one on one help, they will need some info you can't post here to help you.

Good morning Bruzer, I have been working with the publishing fields & I got to publish however it has been uploading for about 15 minutes is that normal.

Thanks

Rocco

not normal I would say....depends I guess if your using dial up, or the size of your site, mp3's or other flash objects could all have an impact. Could be the server itself too.
With Whom Are You Hosted With? 15minutes? did it stop on you?

IX webhosting, the status bar is loading up to 600 images & I don't have but maybe 20 pix. should I cancel and restart the process.

Thanks

Rocco

It finally complete with a error to check ftp settings and turn off firewall and I changed the remote folder from www to web

Thanks

Rocco

IX webhosting for the remote folder I just put a forward slash ( / websitefolder)
And of course I didn't think of it but yes disable firewall and anti-virus temporarily.
if you want I could take a better look, send me the info to support@myofficialnewbie.com
