FP98: Structure Out of Sync After Republishing Web

ID: Q187846

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

If you republish a Web to a remote server, and the Publish Changed Pages Only check box is selected in the Publish dialog box, only new pages that are added to the navigation structure of the Web being published are added to the navigation structure of the remote server.


CAUSE

With the Publish Changed Pages Only check box selected, the navigation structure on the remote server is not compared against the local copy to ensure that the navigation structure is the same.


RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, republish the entire Web. To do this, follow these step:

  1. Start FrontPage Explorer.


  2. On the File menu, click Publish FrontPage Web.


  3. In the Publish FrontPage Web dialog box, click to clear the Publish Changed Pages Only check box.


  4. Select the destination Web in the text box.


  5. Click OK.



STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft FrontPage 98.


MORE INFORMATION

This behavior may be a problem only if the structure file on the remote server has been modified. The most likely cause of this situation is when a customer has requested that the Web Publishing Provider delete files in the remote copy of the Web, and then the customer re-publishes the Web.
