Hi,
I haven't been able to publish my FP98 site as I get the following message a
t the very end:
Server error: Cannot open file "C:\My Docs\My Webs\suzgoldphoto\_vti_pvt\ser
vice.cnf" for writing.
Also as it seems to be uploading pages, I keep getting asked to enter a pass
word for my server every couple of minutes.
I actually contacted microsoft about this some time ago and they determined 
it was a problem with our server.
The server co. said they saw no problems from their end and that it had to b
e a firewall on my computer.
However, I don't have a firewall. I let the whole thing go and never got a s
olution.
Hope someone can help please!
Thank you.

Find and delete the file service.cnf in  C:\My Docs\My Webs\suzgoldphoto\_vt
i_pvt\

FYI
The FP web at C:\My Docs\My Webs\suzgoldphoto is a disc based web, not a ser
ver based web

Hi Stefan,

Thanks a million for responding!!!
However, I think I looked for a solution previously and renamed the service 
file with old at the end as that's all I see, other than a shortcut to "serv
ice" and one to "services", both don't go anywhere.
So should I delete the service.old file now or will that not help? I don't s
ee any other one there.

Also, I don't really know I'm afraid what the implication is that my web is 
disc based, not server based - I guess it just means that all the files are 
stored locally on my hard-drive and that maybe my web-host/server would not 
be the one to ask about the
problem?

Would really love hearing back from you if poss.

Thanks so much,
Suzanne.
