My rapidweaver crashes each time I try to republish one of my sites. I had to completely rebuild this site due to missing stacks when I was handed over the file. So I go to publish it, it exports and then just starts to upload and RW shuts down. When I re-open it, it doesn’t say ‘something went wrong’. I initially thought it was a software issue, however I just re-published 2 of my other sites without this happening. I went to my server and deleted the old files for johnrua.co.nz thinking that may help. Still same problem. Is there anything I could have possibly done to mess up my site that it won’t publish? Cheers Lisa ---

Hi Lisa, I don’t know the answer to this problem, but as a matter of caution, I would never delete old files on my site until I’ve finished validating their replacements as fine. To stop files and folders being overwritten or contributing to the problem, I just rename them, maybe add “-old” to the file/folder name and then you still have them as backup if needed… ---

This doesn’t fix your RW crash but to get up and running can you Export entire site to Local Folder (local disk) and then upload with an ftp app? ---

You didn’t give any versions or Op Sys version so this is just a “best Guess” it sounds like you have a plug-in issue what plug-in’s do you have installed? Try removing any plug-in’s and see if it will publish without crash. then you can add them back one at a time until you find the problem. ---
