I am trying to publish some recent changes I made on my web site. It
doesn't work. (I use Microsoft Frontpage. Hypermart is my host site.) The word
"conflict" is in the status colum next to the name index.htm (my home
page). I guess I some how saved another file named index.htm by
mistake. but I don't know how to correct the problem.

Howdy craigeperkins,

Depending on your version of FrontPage, I would like you to try the
following, and see if that clears up your problem.

For FrontPage 2000:
- On the menu bar, select View | Reports | Publish Status.
- Select index.htm, right-click on it, click Properties on the
shortcut menu, and then click the Workgroup tab.
- Select the Exclude this file when publishing the rest of the web
check box.

For FrontPage 2002:
- On the menu bar, select View | Reports | Workflow | Publish Status.
- Select index.htm, right-click on it, click Don't Publish on the
shortcut menu

Thanks!  denco-ga

This seemed to work when I did the thing with the index2.htm.  but now
I have a new problem and it is serious, I think.
When I was publishing the changes a notice came up saying, I
paraphrase, "there are files on the remote site that are not on the
local site would I like to remove them from the remote site I clicked
yes to all.  Now I have no web site just a folders report when I type
in www.yandara.com.
I tried publishing again and nothing worked.
HELP

Howdy craigeperkins,

Please note that the advise that you followed, which ensued in
your problem, was not provided by a Google Answer Researcher,
but rather was a Comment, which can be posted by both Researchers

You can tell if the Comment was made by a Google Answer Researcher
by looking at the From: area.  If the name there, such as denco-ga,
is in blue and is a link (which goes to the Researcher Ratings area
for the Google Answer Researcher) then that person is a Google

Looking Forward, denco-ga

I don't think that my current problem had anything to do with the
google coment I was given. It was  saparate mistake I made, not
related. But thanks the information

You don't mention how you are trying to update your site.  Are you
Using FTP?  Generally, when you upload a file with the name of an
existing file, in your case index.htm, the original file is
over-written by the new file.  The fact that you mention there is an
error message "conflict" next to the  file name "index.htm", tells me
you are using a web based tool to update your site.

Try this:  Change the name of your NEW index.htm (the file you are
trying to upload) to something else such as index2.htm.  Then upload
that file.  You should then be able to go to your site
www.yoursite.com/index2.htm and see this new page.  If that works,
simply delete the file index.htm and then rename the new file from
index2.htm to index.htm.

I would have you contact me directly for more help, but Google
considers that "spam", even though I don't charge for that type of
assistance.
