FrontPage 2003 Overwriting!?

FrontPage 2k3 overwrites current versions with previous versions!

[rolinalong]

I am running a team website and I'm using FrontPage 2003. I run no cgi or javascript. Very few graphics. mostly just straightforward HTML. The site is hosted on Netscape/Unix servers.

Every day I make changes to the site and every morning I open up my FrontPage and find that all the changes I've made on my local machine are overwritten by a version that's about a week old (if not older). I've started making backups of my changes to try to work around it, but I can't continue like this. I am the only person working on this site, so its not a matter of two people overwriting each other's changes.

Am I running into some kind of classic example of Microsoft not working in some non-Microsoft environments? Does it have something to do with the webDAV? Has anyone else had this problem?

any insight is better than where I am now (nowhere)

Have you asked your hosting company about this? I have not heard of this happening before.

I have contacted my host company (We host in-house). they too are stumped, hence my posting.

You do not have any back up jobs or anything running? Is this Windows / Unix?

[rolinalong]

No. I build in Windows XP and then FTP using FP's FTP to a Unix Apache server.

When you publish your site, are you sure (absolutely SURE!) you are publishing from your machine to the server?

Because if you are opening up the server version and publishing, you'd be publishing FROM the server TO your local machine EVENTHOUGH the boxes would still say "Local" in the left pane and "Remote" on the right side.

After you publish, can you view the correct webpage on the browser? And then in the morning - that changes? FP does not really support FTP all that great. Publishing is the preferred method with FP

Also, check the date on your PC clock.

[rolinalong]

That might actually be the problem. I had to reset my clock recently. It would explain a lot.

I suppose it applies to PC troubleshooting as much as it does to philosophy and maths :)
