FREEWAY QUIT UNEXPECTEDLY !!

Im using freeway pro on a macbook and for some reason every time I try to upload my main site it quits straight away, my other sites upload ok.

I have gone back through my time machine but it still quits when I try to upload,

Does anyone know where to get help with the report of the problem, which I cant understand, I have sent the report to apple but I dont know if anyone actually looks at it , or where to go next…,

There is an option in the FW upload dialogue box to ‘Save Log’ - not sure if FW is going as far as producing a log but it might be worth having a look in user>Library>Logs>Freeway5>FTP Logs and sending that to SP Towers.

But I would suggest that you do an Edit>Resources>Resample All before that then create a new Site Folder in the Finder, select it in File>Document Setup and publish a fresh copy of your site into it.

thanks for the advice again dave,

ive created a new site folder in finder. On freeway I then went into document and document setup and selected the new folder in the ‘site folder’ box. I then went to the upload box and selected ‘file copy’ and attempted to select the new folder and it said,

‘‘your local site folder and your upload folder must be different’’

So upload to a different folder on your Desktop. You cannot copy your site folder contents into itself.

Have you tried the Resample All bit yet - do that first and try a normal upload after selecting a new site folder (on your HD) to publish into.

tried it all now, still closing down, I get the ‘building site’ window come up but no blue line, it just closes after about 5 seconds.

I have recently been updating all of my meta tags ‘descriptions’ to get rid of invalid characters,

After completing this (on about 200 pages) the problems started. I assume the only way to see what the problem is would be to start deleting the description tags and keep trying to upload the site every 10 pages or so …,

You mean no progress bar?

I would do a Save As to create a duplicate of your FW file, choose a new Site Folder and try publishing into that. Don’t upload at this stage.

If you get no joy then delete a few pages and try again - remember that this is a copy so will not affect your actual site. If you dont save the changes after deleting some pages you can go back to the copy and try different pages to see if you can track down the one(s) that have a problem.

just to let you know, the reason why I changed all of my meta descriptions was because there were invalid characters in some of them which was affecting the site search action which wouldnt work,

I just removed the site search ‘folder action’ and it seems to have fixed the problem, I now need to find out why I cant have the site search action…
