Folks, I'm stumped here. For starters, I'm not trained in this sort of thing, and I'm not a particularly technical guy.

My company has a website, created with Macromedia Homesite. I didn't build the site, but I have been updating it for about a year with no difficulties. Tuesday I went into Homesite to move photos and information from the For Sale section to the Sold section, and put more pics and infor in the For Sale Section. After I input all of the new information and made the corrections to the old area, I hit save like I always have. This time, the corrections were not uploaded to the web. I checked with my Domain Name owner, and we are currently paid up and they have made no changes. I checked with our host, and we are current with them and they haven't changed their system. Adobe, who now owns Macromedia, says the problem isn't with them, but with either my DNS or my host. Any ideas? My boss is pissed at me and I am out of ideas.

Does homesite give any sort of error message that might point to the problem? Unfortunately your post is rather lacking on details that would help diagnose this issue.

Can you FTP to your host? If this works then your connection and host account are good. If not you may have network problems locally. Has anyone changed firewall settings at your office?

Homesite is not giving me any error message at all. It appears to save the data just as it always has.

I would be delighted to supply any information you might need to help me out here, but again, I'm a computer dumbshit. I had this job added to my normal responsibilities because the computer person quit. At the risk of sounding like an idiot, what do you mean by FTP to my host? My Domain Name Server (Network Solutions) said they pinged my host (Fiber Pipe.com) and the connection there was good, whatever that means.

I suppose we might have network problems locally, but everything in the office is running normally, and no firewall settings have been changed, because I would have had to be the one to change them.

I'm not familiar with Homesite specifically, but look around in the settings for the host it is uploading to. It will probably be an ftp server. You'll also need the username and password it is using.

Try this to test your ftp and web host:

- Make a simple test image that is not on your site. Call it something simple like test.jpg and save it on your hard drive.
- Open a a command prompt and change to the directory you saved test.jpg in.
- Type "ftp hostname" where hostname is the server you got from your Homesite settings. It will then prompt you for the username and password.
- If you get this far without errors good; Basic network and connectivity to your host is working. If not post the errors here.
- Type "bin" and then "put test.jpg" it should upload the file.
- In your browser go to "http://yoursite/test.jpg" and you should see the image.


If all this works then your network and host are fine and it's Homesite messing up. If not, post your errors and I'll try to help further.
