Error message saying HTML files will be written over.

I finished building my website and when I go to preview or upload the site I get a message saying:

One or more HTML files which do not belong to this site will be overwirtten. Do you want to continue?

the options are to click OK or Cancel.

Cancel just cancels the operation and when I click OK freeway crashes every time.

I cant publish my site until this problem is solved

That means you are publishing into a folder that has pages from some other Freeway document, or you changed the names of the pages at some point. Freeway is just telling you that there is content in your site folder that does not match what you are about to publish.

If you are saving you published pages in the same directory as the original Freeway document, don’t. Create a separate directory just for publishing your page output into.

Hi, I appreciate your help very much.

How do I go about creating a separate directory just for publishing?

I tried to “save as” into a new file and it still happened.

From outside of Freeway just create a folder and name it whatever is appropriate. Then open your Freeway document and go to Document Setup under the File menu. Right in the middle of the dialog box that opens is a big “Select” button. Click on that and navigate to the folder you just created and select it, click Choose, then OK.

Now every time you publish that Freeway document the published pages will go into the new folder.

After creating the new directory I received the same error message and again after clicking OK, freeway crashed.

I looked in the folder I created and the files had been sent to it. Do you know why it’s telling me that it is overwriting HTML files when there aren’t any other ones in that folder?

I received the same error message and again after clicking OK,
freeway crashed.

Could you run this small sanity-checking process? Open the Disk
Utility application (found in your Utilities folder), select your
hard disk in the lit on the left and then click the Repair Disk
Permissions button.

I ran the disk utility application and restarted my computer. Once it started, I attempted to preview my site in safari and I got the same error message:
“One or more HTML files which do not belong to this site will be overwirtten. Do you want to continue?”

I clicked OK and freeway crashed.

:frowning:

does anybody have any idea why this is happening, I started from scratch and rebuilt my site again and it is still happening.

I would recommend going to the File>Document Setup dialog and changing
your Site Folder by clicking the Select button. Make a brand new
folder for it outside of the existing Site Folder. Once you have done
this go to the Edit>Resources dialog and click the Resample All button.

Try publishing again to see if the problem persists, if it does then
get in touch with Softpress support on support(a)softpress.com

Just discovered I have the exact same problem.
As suggested at the end of thread I submitted it to support.

This happens to me also on a regular basis. I know 100% that the publish-folder is untouched…
Dumb as I am, I ignore the warning, and publish anyway. Never had any problems with it.
(like a site that acts strange ore something) I consider it as one of those ‘softwarethings’ that happen sometimes…:wink:
But yes, it might be a bug

What exactly is this ‘thread’ about? I say thread in quotes because I
can’t see anything but this message in my mail. Curious…

This is because it is a bumped thread from the web site so you wouldn’t see the web contents? A trip to the web site should be beneficial.
