I used this lovely action on 6 pages and all worked well when uploaded to a sub folder on my own site. However once uploaded to the clients own site the fading images are replaced with fading messages — “The requested URL /_chambrestable542x300.html was not found on this server” Example problem here http://www.lefonddelacour.com/annexe2.html
The site had been saved as an archive so all images in the right place. I also removed the action, published everything, and re-uploaded but no show.
However on the same site I have a carousel and no problem with this. It just worked. ( So I changed all the scripty faders to carousels to keep the client happy http://www.lefonddelacour.com/annexe.html)
Note that my site where it works is hosted by ineedwebhosting.co.uk. The clients original site was on a windows server at myhosting.com who advised that I upload the new site to a linux sub-site. This I did but I see that there is no directory - it just uploads from Freeway without this box filled in. Any connection with my problem? Can anyone shed light on to this oddity? Or should I just move over to a proper linux server anyway such as ineedwebhosting?
Sorry to bring this up to the top again. I am hoping to catch Walters’s eye or anyone who can see where the problem might lie.
Thanks in advance
Richard
Did you upload using Freeway? There are a bunch of files that the
Action builds, one for each option in the fader effect, and their
filenames all begin with an underscore. This error message means that
those files are not in the same folder as the outer page that’s trying
to load them. Try making a new site folder on your Mac, and publish
again. Then upload and see if that fixes it. There shouldn’t be any
issue with this Action and folders – there’s no absolute links
created or needed.

Yes I was uploading from Freeway. I assumed the problem arose because of there being no directory on this server (is This OK by the way?)
However I archived the site and thus got a new sitefolder and now have scripty fader back on one page. Will convert the rest back from carousels and see what happens.
It’s mighty odd. Most times, when you log into a server with ftp or
sftp, you arrive one folder “above” your site root, and you see other
folders like logs, conf, or etc, maybe tmp, along with your htdocs or
http_docs or public_html or whatever your host decides to call “that
folder with all the Web stuff in it”.
I have seen some servers set up where you have a separate login/
password that is “jailed” into the htdocs folder; when you log in as
that user, you can only see the Web root, and so you use that login
specifically to update the Web site, and a different login to
administer the higher functions of the server or the Web service. If
you have more than one login, this might be why you don’t see any
folders. Trust me – they’re there – but each user gets his or her
own “environment” to work in, and Unix / Linux has a very strict
permissions model to go with.

Looking at it with Fetch this seems to be the case (and it is now working with Scripty fader.) Nevertheless I think I would be more comfortable with a “proper” linux server rather than a linux sub site of a windows server. And maybe one closer to home than Canada -but I know this is irrational. Given that my music collection is heavy on Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, The Band, Rufus Wainwright, and Joni Mitchel maybe I can assume Canadians do good hosting too. No logic in that either.
