MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / August 2005Unable to create a http protocol url for my web page form
I am using Microsoft Publisher 2003. I have received the url information from my hosting service to create a new network place. Everytime I type my http protocol url in the File Name box I get the following error message: "Cannot find the url http://jewlery.fatcow.com" Can someone please help me. I really need to get the web page form to work as soon as possible. I see the site is published. Is this still a valid issue? If so please work thru http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=158  SignatureDavid Bartosik - [MSFT MVP] http://www.publishermvps.com http://www.davidbartosik.com > I am using Microsoft Publisher 2003.

I need to publish it using http so my contact form will send me the data entered by my contacts. I am unable to create a http protocol. I keep getting the error messages : ""Cannot find the url http://jewlery.fatcow.com" I know the url works because it works in the browser. I have followed microsoft's instructions on how to create the http protocol in the network place but I am still unable to create the protocol. > I see the site is published.

If you read the FAQ http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30 and the uploading trouble shooting article you'd have learned that FTP usage on FPSE can break FPSE. Your next course of action is to tell the host to reinstall FPSE. When they have that completed then follow my http publishing article.

However they were a little reluctant about doing this and said they would get back to me in 24 to 48 hours. In case they will not do this I noticed in your trouble shooting area you can setup forms without using FTP or FPSE by clicking on use the ISP in the form property. If I go this route can I use it if I have published my site using FTP. Just trying to find out what my options are if my web host service does not reinstall FPSE. I have paid for this service for a year and do not want to lose my money. I am using a trial version of Microsoft Publisher 2003 and want this problem resolved before I make the decision to purchase the full version. > I browsed to http://jewlery.fatcow.com/_vti_inf.html and thus confirmed > that FPSE is installed on your web space.

Install/reinstalling the fpse takes like 10 seconds dunno why they would be reluctant to push a button for you. >I have spoken to my web host service about reinstalling FPSE.

From what i see the almost the entire page is contained within Form tags and generally that is not how it should appear. > They have reinstalled the fpse.

My hosting service and I have tried several times to upload my site using your http instructions but we are unable to do so. We keep getting the error message cannot find the url. But when we type the url in the internet browser window it works. > Did you upload the web site using the HTTP instructions? > [quoted text clipped - 82 lines] > >> >> >> > work > >> >> >> > as soon as possible. > My hosting service and I have tried several times to upload my site using > your http instructions but we are unable to do so.

Anyway, so now it's clear that you have not published in HTTP. That is why your form doesn't submit. Totally covered on the FAQ page - http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30 But you have an issue with HTTP publishing. On that, looking at that error and your particular URL, my conclusion is that your web space and/or the FP extensions have not been correctly configured on the web server by an apparently inexperienced host provider. Rather than own a domain ( i.e. www.davidbartosik.com ), your web space is a sub-domain on someone else's (fatcow.com) domain. Usually with a sub-domain address - subdomainname.domainname.com - you publish to the URL of the directory, not to the sub-domain URL - www.domainname.com/mysubdomainfolder/ - when using FPSE publishing (HTTP). So they need to either give you a different URL for HTTP publishing, or they need to get the configuration right. That's my call on it.

I am retrieving my data using the "Use a program from my ISP" method. > > My hosting service and I have tried several times to upload my site using > > your http instructions but we are unable to do so.
