  1. Dear all,

    Since yesterday 13th October 2009, I cannot publish my website to the hosting server, why?

    I use MS Visual Studio 2008 as my editing tool, use ASP .net to create my web pages. When I want to publish my website, I just click on the "Build", "Publish Web Site" option. Then Visual Studio starts compiling my code, then the states bar will say "Compile Successfully" or something similar. After that the states bar will say "Publish started ...". It will then stay in this way for hours, until I end the process by using Task Manager.

    Anyone can tell me what should I do? Any recommendation will be very appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Waiman
     
  2. Hi,
    First off, do you need the Build option or can you use the Copy Website option?
    With either option if you are on IIS7 make sure you are using the FTP username, not your account username.
    And also test with your Alternate URL, the one that comes with your site and works without a domain.
    You can use that Alternate URL at all times, no need to ever change it for FTP.
    All the best,
    Mark

    sounds like a FTP / Connection issue to me.

    VS.NET's FTP really is not that great. Try publish to a local file system location and then use a "real" FTP client to upload it.
