OrangeHairedBoy Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 I am trying to access my site via FP 2000 but my DNS propogation hasn't gone through yet...so I'm using the IP address but it just gives me an error saying that it isn't accessable or it might be on a volume protected by a password. What should I do??? Lewis Quote
imadsurfer Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 Try reading THIS and see if it helps... Basically here is what it says "You can not publish to HTTP and a IP address in Frontpage 2000 or back. It will only publish to FTP. Once your domain name resolves and is fully propagated it will upload just dandy. This bug was corrected in FP 2002 but persists in FP 2000 and earlier.Simply put, you have to FTP until your domain propagates." ImaD Quote
TCH-Rick Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 FrontPage will do Goofy things before the domain has propagated. I am seeing your site using the IP address so you have been able to upload something. If you upload via ftp and then use FrontPage it will be unhappy as well. In running a Whois I see that the nameservers are still set for another host (I transferred here from there as well) so the domain will not propagate until the nameservers are changed. FrontPage works much better after propagation using http mode. Submit a Help Desk ticket if you would like me to look at it further. It's pretty slow right now so I'd be glad to see if something is set up incorrectly. Quote
OrangeHairedBoy Posted June 28, 2003 Author Posted June 28, 2003 Hmm...I see the line at the end. That's actually incorrect cuz I have FP2000 and I administer another site through IP addresses only! So, since TCH doesn't seem to support this or be configured for it, what if I added something to my hosts file so I can get started? Anyone know what I should put? Quote
TCH-Rick Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 You could try adding an entry to your hosts file. You still will be limited to some degree but you just add: xxx.xx.xxx.xx orangehairedboy.com xxx.xx.xxx.xx www.orangehairedboy.com xxx.xx.xxx.xx ftp.orangehairedboy.com xxx.xx.xxx.xx mail.orangehairedboy.com xxx.xx.xxx.xx etc.orangehairedboy.com (add any subdomains you might use) Replace the x's with your ip address.
