RapidWeaver Version 7.3 (18575) Problem

I’m going back over all the advice you guys gave me before calling Network Solutions again.
This, from “thang” (David) is puzzling:

"But now you really have to figure out your site’s actual page structure, make sure the pages are named correctly (and any links to them are correct) in your project in RW, and then delete the incorrectly named pages from your server with FileZilla. After that you will be able to see if the pages you’ve updated have been successfully published."

Also, what does “SEO” mean? Site ? ?

Maybe that is the crux of it. Going to look at Filezilla again…

SEO is Search Engine Optimization. - at this point would not worry too much about that.
The page names David is talking about is the folder names I think you already fixed.

Have you tried to publish local to a new folder on you Mac since changing?
If not I would start with that.

Did you try to get to your site with NS file manager?
I would check that next.
If you can get to your site with FO file Manager or FZ, I would probably delete everything in your htdocs first.

So if you delete all files in FZ is the directory empty on File Manager? If not they are pointing to different places. If you delete them from one (FM or FZ) then they should not show up in the other. If they are deleted and don’t show up on the other then republish with RW.

Oh, Doug! Thank you, so much for checking in again!!!

I am going to try again to publish to a local file. But, after reading your note several times, I’m just about ready to take the drastic step of killing out all my files and republishing to RW.

I did call Network Solutions and spent a long time on the phone with them and didn’t get much help. They changed all my settings back to what they were when I started this whole odyssey, but it didn’t help.

Their techies are the ones who had altered the settings in the first place. Then, after I tried to publish again, they told me that the site, in fact, WAS publishing. So, I cleared my cache yet again, as per their instructions, and when I checked page-3/page-5 to see if the revised page had published, I found that it STILL did not publish. (I didn’t check the other revisions, figuring that if one didn’t work, the others wouldn’t either.)

The tech support guy did find the Rapid Weaver manual, which I did not have and could not figure out how to get, and they referred me to a section on publishing directly to Filezilla, which I am going to try to do in a few minutes.

They did NOT suggest that I go to my site with NS file manager, though I did call up the file manager and look at it. I clicked on some of the files. I could tell there were duplicate files there, and they included some of the files that I had renamed as late as this morning – as a result of the suggestions of some of you – but, not knowing how to call up the individual pages to look at them there (is that even possible using File Manager or FileZilla?) I couldn’t be certain that the revisions that I had entered into the software had actually “taken” or been saved and published in those files.

What I mean is that I made the changes in the software, but maybe there is a problem with RW by which even though I’m revising the site, the revisions are not saving.

I know that every time RW publishes it also “saves” and I’m going to assume that there is a command that is given when you publish a file that saves it at the same time. ( Anyway, the revised files were revised at least a week ago, so I know that over the course of the past week they were saved.) I cleared my cache AGAIN, but the new changes are not showing up on the site I see online… Most of the men I talk to at Network Solutions (except for one or two) are extremely impatient and eager to get to the next call.

Thanks for the new suggestions.

I see that you can delete files in File Manager by selecting files and then going to this menu and hitting “delete.” But how do I know which files I’m deleting? I mean, what is the dif between Styled-9 and Page-9 and why are there two pages? Do I delete the Index page? The photos folder?

If I republish with RW, will they also show up here – the the Network Solutions File Manager again? They should, shouldn’t they?

A lot of the type overwrites other type, but I don’t think I need to know what it says, exactly. I guess that since I have the publication settings, even if I delete the entire site, I always should be able to republish, so I haven’t really lost anything, even though the concept is a scary one. (I’m imagining that someone would go to the site that is up and not see ANYTHING at all, and then if I cannot republish anything, there will be no site up at all.)

I am going to look at the RW manual, and then I think I’m ready to just risk everything (the published site) and remove all the recent files from the File Manager.

Odd – I just pasted below the contents of the File Manager and the jumbled mass of letters that had been all crunched together (near the right margin) are visible when I paste them here. So, they are readable here if not online.

Anyway, wish me luck and if you have any additional information that you think would help me, I’m eager to hear it.

Actually I do not see all everything below. Some of the files, I think, are contained in a different folder. For example, when I look at Filezilla, I see a regular Page-X and then a separate Styled-X. (It looks like all pages have a regular edition and a styled edition.

Maybe that will be explained when I read the RW manual.

The file listing above (at the bottom of post, what is it from?
Is that from the file manager?

It has not been updated since 3/10/2017.

You might try to change something on your home page(something simple) publish that page and look at what you just listed(FM). The date should change on your index.html (2nd file) to today’s date.

Brilliant, Doug. Yes. this was from the File Manager and I looked at it after you suggested I should work through that vehicle. So, this proves (doesn’t it) that the site is NOT publishing via Network Solutions?

I have been publishing on and off throughout today checking the pages with the revisions on them that were made last week. None of them have been updated.

That looks like an index file, which, I’m presuming is the home page. I don’t think it is republishing. But Network Solutions says that it IS republishing and there is nothing wrong with their FTP, and that the problem, therefore, obviously is with RapidWeaver.

The other pages also are being re-published too, and the other ones are not being changed either – to my knowledge. Thank you for spotting this and calling it to my attention. I would NOT have known how to interpret the date shown there. But doesn’t it appear that it was March 8 when that last was published rather than March 10th? Or, is the term “file folder” BELOW THE DATE LINE rather than above it in this list?

I am glad you guys in the RW community are checking these things and looking at them so carefully. This is truly a wonderful community, a great resource! Thank you!

I will republish again to see what happens to that file.

Just republished and looked at File Manager. New File manager info below. But the revisions on page 5 did not publish, nor did the rest of them. This file manager list DOES have some pages that appeared to publish yesterday and some today, but not all the pages and not the pages that I wanted to publish. Which, I suppose is okay in one way because a few more revisions were give to me today, so I will make those revisions on the site for when it IS published again. IF, in fact, we ever determine what the problem is and if I learn how to publish directly to the publishing engine. I have read about half the manual now and I learned a couple of things I did not know before, which is good. (For example that I could link to materials in the resources section – Always wondered what that section was for since you don’t need to put a photo or chart there to include it in the site.) Have read a little about publishing, but nothing new so far. I’m sure that I will learn a lot when I get to the right section. Figured as long as I finally got my hands on a manual, though, that I should read the whole thing. What a process.

I did talk with Network Solutions today – spent more than two hours on hold and getting transferred to wrong offices. The right hand doesn’t seem to know what the left hand is doing there, and they lose your call frequently. Made another appointment with Richard, who will call me at 9 on Monday morning and do what he needs to do to get this published. Let’s hope.
Thanks again, Doug. Getting a bit discouraged, here.
Maybe we will just get a new domain name and start over.

Edit: Oh, wait. No. I mean delete all the files and republish from scratch. I forgot about that option. Been working on this all day and brain is turning to jelly. There ARE options, apparently. Will enter in the new revisions so that when I republish, if it takes, those will be among the fixes.

Saturday morning, 8:32:
I went over all your suggestions, again. So grateful!
Today I will finish reading the manual and then implement Doug’s suggestion:

That RapidWeaver publishing feature is not a full FTP app like FileZilla is so you can’t go in and delete pages, or rename them.

Since you are using RW to build everything, you may want to consider using FZ or the file manager that is with your hosting company to delete what’s in your Htdocs directory and republish all pages in your site once you have them organized within RW.

My assumption is that since the RW web-creation software is on my computer, the worst that can happen will be that the website is “unpublished” for a short time.

If there is any greater danger than that – if anyone still is following this tortuous ordeal – please let me know.

There must be a lesson in all of this somewhere. I will have to figure it out when this is over. Thanks again, all!

Oh, Brother! I do NOT believe any of this. Enough to make me switch to WordPress.
Reading the manual, I decided to publish to a new folder on my desktop to test one of the publishing suggestions in the manual. So, I went back to my software and simply tried to save the website to an external location, and RW would NOT let me do it! What on earth? Am I now so flustered as to be completely unable to function? Or is it my computer?

Tried to close it (figuring it would save) and got this:

WHAT other application??? How is that even possible?

What file are they talking about? The one I’m working on – right?

I guess I can click Save, but I DID make additional revisions when I spoke with the organization board member last night. I guess I have no choice.

Will see what happened, and if necessary redo the revisions.

Unbelievable.

I clicked save. This came up:

Well, THAT is certainly misleading.

What do they mean, contact “Realmac Software support?”

Where is THAT???

I have looked for that and cannot find it.

I should send them this whole chain of comments!!

I think you have to email England and wait several days for a response… Well, maybe I can just quit out of the program. Will try that.

I renamed the file and it saved. Not sure why. Oh, well… it saved. So onward. Wasted time. :rage:

In looking at the file that was published, I see some things that are confusing. This is it:

It seems when I open the “page-3” page, that there are lots of other pages inside of that and it strikes me that this must be wrong since the menu on my software has the pages arranged in a different order. Why would so many of the child files be under Page 3 when I have most of them under Page 2 (Saving Bluffs Preserve) and that is nested under the main Home or Index file.>>>

Strikes me I could eliminate that folder completely because there SHOULD be a different page-3 inside the regular overall file named March25MOSA.rw. However, when I click on that, nothing comes up.

Page-16: (Why isn’t this also inside the overall RW “march25MOSA.rw” file)?

Page-17: (Why would this have page-14 inside of it?)

IF I DRAG ALL THESE FILES INTO THE FILE MANAGER OR INTO FILEZILLA, I MIGHT BE DRAGGING THEM INTO IT IN A VERY MESSED UP ORDER.

So, I will continue reading in the RW manual to see if it answers these questions.
I hope it does. Otherwise – if you guys have given up on me – my only hope is Network Solutions, and I am NOT optimistic about them.

I might have to go to WordPress, after all. I want to do it this way, though, because I hope to learn enough that these issues won’t come up for me anymore. I like the RW system.

Love the flexibility of it… it allows you to be very creative!

Websites are not a one file to one page structure. The index.html file is opened by the browser (one for each page/folder) and it in turn has references to other files like images (JPEG) style sheets (CSS) and more.
What your screen shots show looks like what a websites files should look.

By the way a Wordpress site would look like this as well.

Thanks, Doug. That’s helpful to me, personally, and I’m grateful for the link to the support site. I had looked for it, googled it, etc. and couldn’t find it.
And glad you’re back, David.
Since the page order is correct, I’m not sure what removing it from Filezilla or the Network Solutions Site Manager would do.
Such a humbling experience. I’ve added some things to this site on my way through the manual. But recently trashed my cache (cute phrase, eh?) again, and can’t find it online again, despite searching for it there. Will go through this tome so I can finish reading the last 25% of it. I seem to have finished with the majority of the publishing info that it provides, but maybe it goes into more detail later – and there might be a troubleshooting section that could be helpful.
Then I definitely will go to the RapidWeaver support section. Just about ready to give up, here. Running out of time.
(GREAT. Found the manual at the Support link above. I had been reluctant to go there because the last time I visited – which was many moons ago – it seemed as though it was going to take several days to hear back and get useful help and also it seemed that the company wanted to pawn off the users to the community, which – at that time – didn’t seem realistic to me. I couldn’t imagine how people, out of the goodness of their hearts, would be standing by ready to help other people that they don’t even know without being compensated in some way. I underestimated the generosity of the human race, I guess, and am very, very happy that my assumptions about PEOPLE were wrong. I hope I’m also wrong about the helpfulness of people at RapidWeaver Tech Support.)

Well, I give up.
I guess I will go to some other web creation software, much as I do not want to do that.
I read the whole manual (and – yes – did understand it).
I went online and figured out how to post my website via FTP on FileZilla. Then I did that.
This is the website that I UPDATED yesterday, after the board of directors called me with the revisions.
I cleaned out the previous files from Filezilla.
I installed the files that were on my computer in the newly downloaded (to a local file) website…
I went online and looked at the site, and it is no different than it was two weeks ago.
I have wasted a grand total of about three-and-a-half 50-hour weeks on this trying to figure it out and thinking I’m nuts because it isn’t working. I am not nuts, however. Just stubborn. I didn’t want to give up on this, but I don’t have anymore time to waste. Life is short and I have to get on with it instead of sitting in this room working on this.
I’ll see what the Network Solutions guy has to say on Monday, but if he cannot fix it, then I’m outta here.
Breaks my heart. I love this software – when it works. But I went to the help page and I can write a report to RapidWeaver if I want to do that, and maybe they’ll find a bug somewhere and maybe they won’t, but they won’t tell me if they do or don’t and it might not be for a long time. And they’ve covered their derrières because they are responsible ONLY for RapidWeaver and NONE of the third party software, which you have to disable to test to see if the website is functioning properly. Otherwise it could be third party software. And I’m using Nick Cates’ Production, and stacks, and a bunch of plug ins to stacks, so there’s no telling if any of those are misfiring. I seriously doubt it, but RW can get off the hook that way. I don’t think it is Network Solutions, because that’s merely a vehicle, or a conduit. I have no idea what it is and I’m absolutely disconsolate. Lots of money for themes and stacks and plug-ins down the tubes. I will be sure to write this up in as many reviews as I can find on as many website sites as I can find. If it happened to me, it can happen to others. I have a lot of very nice sites published for different clients. The civic organizations in this town are not to be messed with and neither is the political scene here. I have to do something and I have no time to waste. This is a huge disappointment. If Richard finds a problem on Monday, then I’ll take it all back. But, I have jumped through hoops on this and so has everyone on this site who has helped me. Or tried to, anyway. Doug, and David and LJ and Tomas and Jason – and Scott. Lots of people spent a lot of time trying to help. I would feel like it’s me, except that this software is marketed to people like me … the site is nice. Wish I could keep it. And the other ones I’ve done are nice, too. Especially, ProtectBallonaWetlands.org. They’re more labors of love than anything else. Oh, well. Onward. Thanks again to all and if Richard is of help on Monday, I’ll come back and let you know.
Cheerio, Mates!

It may have been recommended before, try clearing the browser cache or refresh a page in order to see changes on your website.

I did. They weren’t made. This particular site was MalibuOpenSpace.Org, Phil, not the one listed in the quote above. Thanks for comment. I wish it weren’t so. It’s a great program as witnessed by the many other sites I’ve done in it, but if it won’t publish edits and revisions I cannot use it.

Hello Ann,

One thing you may not have tried is experimenting with the publishing mode. None of my websites would publish in Rapidweaver 7 until I switched to Active mode. This, of course, is a setting that would best be recommended by your hosting provider reps, assuming they are competent, and do not shoot from the hip. But it worked for me.

If publishing using Rapidweaver does start but not all files get published, this is unfortunately “normal” with Rapidweaver 7 at this time. My websites almost always fail to upload the first time, but they do in subsequent attempts. You may want to try publishing again and again if that’s what happens with your copy of Rapidweaver.

It is also possible that you might have some corruption in either your Rapidweaver app or its settings. You may want to backup your files, test/repair your hard drive with Disk Utility, then perform a clean install of Rapidweaver and restore your files. It’s a time-consuming process, but it may be unavoidable given all this downgrading and messing around that may have introduced a few anomalies in your system. You may use any version of Rapidweaver 7, and the latest is recommended (7.3 or 7.3.1).

Another thing you need to be aware of, is the possible co-existence of index.html and index.php in the SAME directory. If this happens, the .html version will take precedence, so that one will load, and not the .php one. Therefore, if for a particular page you used to have an index.html file and changed it to index.php, you probably have BOTH in your directory, and that the new one, presumably the index.php will NOT be the one to load. The index.html will, so rename or delete it to make the index.php active.

You don’t need to remove all files from your website’s directory to start over, but if you do, know that your FTP app, Filezilla if I am not mistaken, can be used to remove unwanted files from your directories. I use Cyberduck, but to each, her own. Rapidweaver will not remove files already published, only overwrite files with the EXACT name AND extension in the SAME directory.

As other users have already suggested, it is a good practice to use only index.html or index.php in your Filename field, as well as a uniquely named folder for each Filename in the Folder field, in all lowercase. The SiteMap Plus add-on can be used to automatically check for you and report on any files that have generic names, i.e., page-5, that need to be changed to a more descriptive one. You can also do it manually, yourself, by checking each and every file of your website in Rapidweaver’s left sidebar.

Also, under Settings > General > Advanced, you may want to tick the last option: Tidy Website Links. Assuming all your Filenames are either index.html or index.php, these file names will not get appended in the pages’ URL. For example:

http://www.domain.com/photos/index.html

…will show as:

http://www.domain.com/photos/

…or in other words, as “tidied”.

Hope this helps.

Andreas

Thank you so much, Andre. What a lot of thought and knowledge went into this post! I really appreciate it. And I have copied it into my notebook should any NEW problems. arise.

ACTUALLY THIS IS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED TRY TO GET ME UP AND RUNNING AGAIN…

YESTERDAY WAS D-DAY FOR MY SITE. I DID TALK WITH THE NETWORK SOLUTIONS TROUBLESHOOTER, RICHARD, AND HE HAS THE SIGHT WORKING NOW.

The trouble was nothing that any of you could have solved – I wrote an email explaining the issue to the ladies on the board of the nonprofit that wanted the site created. It is long, but I felt I had to explain in full because it took so long to solve the problem and I was worried that I was the problem, and not something else. If you’re interested, I will copy it here [with additional comments in italics added for you folks at the RW community that has helped me so much) and you can read it:

Hi, Everyone –

We're back in business.  Yay.

The problem was human error BUT NOT ANN'S ERROR.   And no one at the RapidWeaver site could have fixed it, and neither could I have determined what was wrong.

The problem was that when I bought the Malibuvoice.com and Malibuvoice.net and MalibuVoice.org domain names, I bought them all at Network Solutions. When I published this originally for all of you to view and revise BEFORE re-publishing later to the domain of MalibuOpenSpace.org, I published on MalibuVoice.org.

Then I tried to republish at GoDaddy, but couldn’t, on MalibuOpenSpace.org, which was a domain name I had bought at GoDaddy. But it was NOT publishing there and apparently GoDaddy had no higher tiers of tech support, so they were unwilling to tell me why it was not publishing there under MalibuOpenSpace.org. They blamed the software. And they were rude.
Instinctively, I knew that it was NOT the software, but probably a human error. But they were unwilling to go any further to help me out.

So, I moved the hosting company BACK to Network Solutions, where it had been proven to publish.

EXCEPT FOR THIS: Apparently when I called in at Network Solutions and asked them to repoint the MalibuOpenSpace.org domain name to their own hosting package and to put the site back on the MalibuVoice.org, someone put it on MalibuVoice.com instead. And when that wasn’t working someone tried to fix it and pointed it to MalibuVoice.net. So when I was publishing the site – even though it looked like it was publishing on MY end, it was NOT publishing to the right place.

So, when we called up MalibuOpenSpace.org to see the revisions, they were not there, but on MalibuVoice.net or MalibuVoice.com.

So happy I can get back to living my life!

_I STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY -- IF IT PUBLISHED TO EITHER OR BOTH .NET AND .COM --  i could not call up the site, because if they pointed it to one or the other of those locations, theoretically, even though it was the wrong location, I still should have been able to call up the site as long as I filled out the publishing menu correctly (well, wrong, but correctly wrong, if you get my meaning, here.  I mean, if they pointed it to .net or to .com, then they should have given me the corresponding address to those locations, right?)_  

So happy that MOSA now has its corrections in place!

HOWEVER, THE NEXT ISSUE I WILL ADDRESS, IS what happened to the sites that i already had on those websites??? And why didn’t they tell me that in publishing to those locations, if I already had sites on them (which I did), I’d be overwriting those sites?
_ _
_ Richard did say there was a chance I could reclaim those sites now that the MOSA site is publishing to the correct location._

In the process I did learn about other software creation programs, and I still like RapidWeaver best!

Lots of time wasted, but at least it is right now.

**Thanks Andre and all the rest of  you -- as I said before -- for hanging in until there was nothing left to do!  **

So thrilled it turned out.

On to my next two Rapid Weaver websites… one for another Malibu community organization and the other for a national political consultant who has handled four presidential campaigns. That one will involve some new learning for me because I must put up many of his commercials . . . it would be nice to have a commercial running on on the Cover – or, at least a 10-second section of one of them running on a loop. So eager to start that project.

Thanks again all!

LOVE THIS COMMUNITY!!!

P.S. IN LOOKING at what I just published, above, I see that there are sections in a different font with scroll bars beneath them. How did I do that??? What are those??? I think I just wanted to do those sections in bold, not put scroll bars under them. At least you can read them, still, but what on earth did I do to create them?

Ann, glad it finally worked out for you!

As for the different formatting in the sections you mentioned, it appears you have inadvertently entered characters that specify code as opposed to plain text.

10 days later: I just installed 7.3.2 that was pushed on launch.
It hung several times during the install until I restarted the computer, nrver recognizing tat it HAD installed.

Now it uploads the entire site every time I publish one simple page with minor changes.

Looks like a fix is on the way: Problem with RW 7.32
