Can't log into live site?

algae1 · Aug 12, 2006

Hello all,
From time to time I make small changes to my site by going to the url with IE and then clicking the "Edit with FrontPage" button. When I do this I am usually prompted to enter my password. I then go ahead and make my changes and save them.
Yesterday I did this and while I was there I decided to free up some space and deleted some images that were not linked to anything. I'm not sure nor do I see how this could have caused a problem but now when I go to my site and click the "Edit with FrontPage" button I don't get the option to log in. So effectively I can't get to the site using FP to edit it.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks much for any help or advice.
Gary

P.S. the site is

http://www.edmontonweddingphotographer.com

Have you logged into your webhosting control panel and did a check on FPSE? Or contact your hosting company and asked them to take a look?

Yes it turned out to be a problem with the extensions due to the site containing more than 500 MB of files. Apparantly a sight with this many megabytes is tough for FP to load without corrupting the extensions.
The host uninstalled and reinstalled the extensions and it seems to be working now that I have gotten rid of approx. half of the files.
Thanks

You might consider using sub-sites if the website is that large. That way, FP would only load that particular folder (sub-site)

Yes that has been suggested by the hosting company as well. I will do that.
Another question...I usually back up the site by publishing it to my local pc. Recently it has started to hang about 5 minutes into the backup and won't proceed. Is there another good way to back it up?

Publishing is the best way. Probably when you create the sub-sites, you should be fine.
