MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / June 2007Apache server upgrade created issues
My hosting service upgraded their server from Apache 1.2 to Apache 2. Now all my webpages made with MS Publisher 2003 have been affected. EG: where ever I have a space in my text it now show a "box" - when I use bullets the pages show "?" and where ever I use a quotation mark I now see a "box" An example of these errors can be seen at www.minklakecottage.com Any thoughts - thanks Wanna see something even worse? Open your site in FireFox! Looks like you're framed by your host. Then you have your charset as UTF-8 and they (who are framing or sub domaining you) have theirs set as windows-1252 ... this may be the problem...but it's minor compared to what your viewers will see in Firefox. | My hosting service upgraded their server from Apache 1.2 to Apache 2. Now | all my webpages made with MS Publisher 2003 have been affected. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] | | Any thoughts - thanks Rob - thanks - I have changed within the MS Pub program under OPTION > WEB the encoding to UFT-8, and reloaded the pages and the site appears fine in IE now. I do use a URL stealth forwarding company for my webpages. Not real sure what you mean by the "windows-1252" comment ... is this something I have control over or do I need the URL forwarding company to make this change. Again - thanks for the response - this is a new information for me... that was why I used the MS Pub program for website building - great for novice web builders. > Wanna see something even worse? > Open your site in FireFox! [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > | > | Any thoughts - thanks Actually I wasn't seeing your problem in IE7, but sounded like a charset problem. If it's working for you now I wouldn't mess with it. Why are you stealthing (or whatever you wanna call it) ? Did you look at your url from Firefox? And besides...create a shortcut to your website on your desk top, then click on it and you'll see; http://www.cswebsites.com/clients/minklakecottage/index.html Also.. they have you listed as Mike Lake on their client list :-) | Rob - thanks - I have changed within the MS Pub program under OPTION > WEB | the encoding to UFT-8, and reloaded the pages and the site appears fine in IE [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] | > | | > | Any thoughts - thanks Everything seems to be working in IE.. (I have IE7) I use stealth forwarding - all that it does is keeps the url in the address bar from not changing and it "hides" the long url (eg: www.minklakecottage.com actually is www.cswebsites.com/clients/minklakecottage/index.html) I don't use Firefox - don't even have it on my machine. One more thing ... who are "they" you refer to that has me down as Mike Lake? Just curious. Really do appreciate the help with this issue... and the great response time!!

[quoted text clipped - 44 lines] > | > | > | > | Any thoughts - thanks I am guessing that "they" is you. I am guessing that your website is http://www.cswebsites.com/ (which is also built with Publisher) and that you are selling "websites" to the owners of Mink Lake Cottage, and the other Clients you have listed. Correct? DavidF <snip> > One more thing ... who are "they" you refer to that has me down as Mike > Lake?

LOL!! Thank you! > I am guessing that "they" is you.

There are definitions of Windows-1252 and UTF-8 in Wikipedia and just how that affects your pages I will leave to you to research or someone more knowledgable than I to tell you. -- John G. > Everything seems to be working in IE..

All I get in Mozilla is this text: Accommodation · 2 Bedrooms (accommodates 6-7) · Full Kitchen · All Linens Included · Fireplace · Fire pit · Bar B Que · TV/VCR · No Smoking - No Pets Activities · Canoeing (provided) · Paddle Boating (provided) · Boat Launching (300m) · Swimming · Fishing · Hunting · ATV’s and Sleds Welcome in a purple, perhaps Comic Sans font. The text takes up maybe 1500 pixels (vertical) but the page must be about 150,000 pixels high. If no one minds, I'll attach a screenshot (usually a no-no in NGs). Mike Thats the Firefox "version". | Am I seeing the same site?
