Problem Uploading My Site

    Hi. I'm not sure exactly where this problem of mine should be posted. If this isn't the right forum please redirect me to the correct place.

    I use FrontPage2000 (I know it's hated, sorry!) and all of a sudden I'm getting an error message and it's not allowing me to upload my site. Here's the error message from the server error log.

    [Sun Jul 10 01:55:06 2005] [error] [client 66.249.71.53] File does not exist: /usr/home/visitor/public_html/404.shtml
    [Sun Jul 10 01:55:06 2005] [error] [client 66.249.71.53] File does not exist: /usr/home/visitor/public_html/robots.txt

    I have a sense that it may have something to do with my blog which is located in the public html.

    BTW, I tried uploading my website via ftp. The ftp said it was successfully transferred but when I accessed my page it hadn't been updated. Thinking I might have a problem with cache, I created a new page and ftp'd that successfully (it said). Yet when I attempted to access the page it said the page couldn't be found. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

    Where are you transferring the file to? Why not the public html?

    The error is saying you don't have a robots.txt file. Not anything that would prevent your upload and isn't related to your ftp problem.

    Also, you need to have the frontpage extensions installed- if you have frontpage pages showing, then that isn't the problem.

    Thanks for your reply. I have a website I've had for a while. There's also a blog on the save server. I just recently attempted to modify some content and upload via FrontPage but I it didn't complete the transfer and I got a message about I should check the error log. I tried ftp'ing the site pages in the hope that maybe it would work by bypassing FP. As I said, it says it successfully transfered but the new page I created couldn't be found. I have no idea why it's not letting me add new content to the site. Any ideas?

    No idea. Are the files in the public_html? Do you have a control panel that will allow you see if the new files are there?
