Publishing Web Pages_KompoZer user guide教程-查字典教程网

Publishing Web Pages with KompoZerIf your pages exist only on your local hard disk, you can privatelyview your HTML pages. KompoZer lets you publishyour pages to a remote computer called a web server.

When you publish your pages to a web server, KompoZercopies (uploads) your pages to a computer that lets others browse yourpages. Most ISPs provide space on their web servers for web pagepublishing. To find a web server where you can publish your pages, askyour ISP, help desk, or system administrator.

Publishing a DocumentTo publish a document:

Open the HTML document that you want to publish, or create a new KompoZer document. When you're ready to publish the document remotely, click the Publish button . If you have published this document before, KompoZer remembers the document's publishing settings and starts publishing the document. While publishing is in progress, KompoZer displays a publishing status dialog box.

If you have never published this document before, KompoZer displays the Settings tab in the Publish Page dialog box so you can enter information about the document's remote publishing location. See Publish Page - Settings for more information. When you're done entering information, click Publish. If you have never saved the document, KompoZer displays the Publish tab in the Publish Page dialog box, so you can enter the document's filename. See Publish Page - Publish for more information. After entering the filename, click Publish. To browse your published page, click the Browse button. Test the page's links and make sure there are no missing images. Continue editing the page as necessary. When you're ready to update the remote page with your changes, click the Publish button.When you publish a document for the first time, KompoZerchanges the document's file:/// URL to an http://URL to indicate that you are now editing the published document. Ifyou want to save the document locally (on your computer's hard disk),click the Save button. You'll be prompted to choose a filename andlocation on your hard disk for the document.

Tips for Avoiding BrokenLinks or Missing Images Make sure your KompoZer filenames end with the .html or .htm file extension. Make sure your image filenames end with the .JPG, .GIF, or .PNG file extension. Don't use spaces or other special symbols in your filenames. Keep your filenames short and only use lowercase or uppercase letters and numbers. If your images appear as broken links when you browse a document on the web server, you may have forgotten to include the images when you published. Open the File menu, and choose Publish As to display the Publish Page dialog box. In the Publish tab, make sure you check "Include images and other files" and then click Publish.For more troubleshooting tips, seeSolving CommonPublishing Problems.

Solving Common PublishingProblemsIf any of your files fails to publish, the Publishing Statusdialog box displays an error message that can help you determine whatwent wrong and how to fix it. Click the Troubleshooting button in thePublishing Status dialog box to get help on solving your publishingproblem.

If you are still unable to publish a file, save the file to yourhard disk by opening KompoZer's File menu, and choosingSave. You can then open the file at a later time to try to publishit. To quickly locate the file later, open KompoZer's Filemenu, and choose Recent Pages.

Verifying Your PublishingSettingsTo verify your publishing settings:

Close the Publishing Status dialog box, if it is open. Open the Edit menu and choose Publishing Site Settings. In the Publish Settings dialog box, confirm that the site settings are correct for the site you are trying to publish to. If you're not sure, check with your ISP or web hosting service. Verify that you correctly entered the publishing settings. You may have accidentally mistyped one of the settings. Verify that you entered the correct publishing address. Web hosting services or ISPs may refer to the publishing address as the "server name", the "hostname", or the "server/host". They often specify the publishing location as ftp.myisp.com/username, where username is your user name. For the publishing address to be correct, you must precede the publishing location with either ftp:// or http://. For example, the correct publishing address for the above-mentioned site would be ftp://ftp.myisp.com/username.

Checking Your FilenamesExamine the names of any files that failed to publish. Make surethat the filenames:

Use only numbers or lowercase or uppercase letters. While it's acceptable to create filenames that use uppercase letters, you can avoid potential errors in later locating the published file if you only use lowercase letters in your filenames. When you publish files to a web server, filenames become case-sensitive on the web server. It may be harder for you to remember files names that use only uppercase letters or that use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters.

For example, when you try to locate a published file by typing the filename's web address into Navigator's Location field, you must enter the filename exactly as you created it, using the same combination of uppercase and lowercase letters.

Don't use punctuation characters or spaces. Underscores ( _ ) or hyphens ( - ) are OK. End with .html or .htm (for KompoZer filenames). Use less than 32 characters.[ Return to beginning ofsection ]

Fixing Publishing ErrorsIf one or more of your files fails to publish, look at the messagesKompoZer displays in the Publishing Status area of thePublishing dialog box. You can use these error messages to helpdetermine what went wrong and what to do to fix the problem.

ErrorMessage:

Filename not found or

X of Y files failed to publish

Error Description: One or more image files or CSSfiles failed topublish because KompoZer could not find them. Some typicalreasons might be:

The file location you typed is incorrect. The file's location on the web is not accessible. The file's location was changed or the file was deleted or moved to another location.Possible Solutions:

Look for broken images in the page you are trying to publish. Broken images will appear with this icon in the page. To correct the image's address, double-click the broken image to display the Image Properties dialog box so you can enter the correct address. Remove the broken image from the page by selecting it (click once on the image), and then pressing Backspace or Delete on your keyboard. If the image is unavailable because the server where the image resides is inaccessible, try publishing the page at a later time. If the missing file is a CSS file, you must first verify the correct location of the CSS file. To fix the file's address in KompoZer, click the HTML Source tab and edit the file's location in the HTML source code. You should only edit the HTML source if you are familiar with HTML tags.

ErrorMessage:

The subdirectory directory name doesn't exist on this site or the filename filename is already in use by another subdirectory or

The filename filename is already in use by anothersubdirectory

Error Description: You specified the name of aremote subdirectory thatdoes not exist at the publishing site. KompoZer can onlypublish to a remote subdirectorythat already exists at the publishing location. Or, you specified afilename that isidentical to the name of an existing subdirectory at the publishingsite.

For example, in the Publish Page dialog box, under the Publishtab:

for "Site subdirectory for this page", you may have typed the name of a subdirectory that does not exist at the publishing location. you checked "Include images and other files," and then you typed the name of a subdirectory that does not exist at the publishing location. one of the files you are attempting to publish has the same name as a subdirectory at the publishing site.Possible Solutions:

Use a separate FTP program if you want to create, rename, or delete subdirectories at the publishing site. Ask your service provider if they recommend a particular FTP program. You can usually find information on FTP programs in the Help or Support sections of your service provider's web site. FTP programs are also available from shareware sites such as ZDNet Downloads. Don't use subdirectory names that end with ".html" or ".htm". Only your KompoZer filenames should end with ".html" or ".htm". Subdirectory names are case-sensitive, so be sure to enter a subdirectory name exactly as it appears at the publishing location.

ErrorMessage:

The server is not available. Check your connection and try againlater.

Error Description: This error can have manycauses. For example:

Your publishing site settings may not be correct. Your Internet connection may have been lost. Your modem or other equipment that you use to connect to the Internet might not be functioning correctly. The web server that you are trying to publish to might be unavailable due to a technical problem or to an unknown circumstance. Your ISP or web hosting service may be experiencing technical problems.Possible Solutions:

Verify that your publishing settings are correct and that you entered them correctly. See Verifying Your Publishing Settings for more information. Make sure your Internet connection is working by attempting to view a web page using the Navigator browser. For example, confirm that you can successfully view the page http://www.mozilla.org. If your Internet connection is not working, verify that all hardware, telephone connections, modems, and network connections are functioning properly. Use the Navigator browser to try to view a page at the web site you are attempting to publish to. If you can successfully view other web sites but cannot view a page at the publishing site, your ISP or web hosting service may be experiencing technical problems. Try publishing again later. Your ISP, web hosting service, or the web server may be experiencing temporary technical difficulties.

ErrorMessage:

You do not have permission to publish to this location.

Error Description: You are attempting to publishto a location thatyou are not authorized to use. You can only publish to sites whereyou have been grantedaccess by your ISP or web hosting service.
