| Hi all....and thanks Fahim for all the work you've done on Blog.
I've been using Blog 7.10 very successfully. My blog entries save to the directory where I want them to go. Then I use WS FTP LE to upload the files to the server at Newsguy.
I thought I might start to use some of the other utilities that are native to Blog such as direct publishing the external server and automatic processing of entries via email.
I am currently running in "Standard" mode. One change at a time.
Under the "FTP Sites" tab I have correctly put in my login info, port, etc.
Under the "Sites" tab, I have selected the site created under the FTP Sites tab and put the correct absolute directory.
I then created a test entry, saved it, and attempted to publish it.
At first, it would timeout. I'm pretty sure my local firewall is the problem as when I turn off the firewall it appears to transmit the files correctly:
Started Publish Process ...
Started Archival Process ...
Connecting to Site web.newsguy.com
Connected
Root directory is: /home/dainbramage
Transferring file C:\DOCUME~1\xxx\LOCALS~1\Temp\blogtmp\arc20100124.htm
Transferring file C:\DOCUME~1\xxx\LOCALS~1\Temp\blogtmp\archive.htm
Archival Process Completed!
Transferring file C:\DOCUME~1\xxx\LOCALS~1\Temp\blogtmp\blog.htm
Exiting site web.newsguy.com
Completed Publish Process ...
When I go to my site to see the new entry, it isn't there. I checked via WS FTP and it shows that a new file is there based on the date/time stamp.
It is currently about 8 PM. My entry in Blog is at about 8 PM.
But the file creation date is at about 3 AM.
Also, the calender in Blog is not bolded on today's date as it usually is when there is an entry on that date.
My blog is at http://web.newsguy.com/dainbramage/blog.htm in case that helps at all.
Thanks for any thoughts you might have. | |  Logged |

| The thing is, I've moved from Windows to a Mac and have not done any Blog development in a few years  I'll try to help but not sure how much assistance I can be given that I don't even have the means to create a new build of Blog, if necessary, given that I'm not on Windows any longer. But let's try 
The file creation dates on the server should not matter - unless you're checking to see if the file is the right one. The server will simply publish whatever it finds, it doesn't check dates. Just clarifying.
However, I notice that you're publishing to /home/dainbramage. This could certainly be your root folder but most web hosts have the root under public_html or http or httpdocuments or something like that. Do you by any chance have a folder like that under /home/dainbramage? Or are all your site files under the /home/dainbramage folder? | | | Logged |

| Fahim,
I want to offer my deepest thanks for your Blog software. I truly enjoyed using it for the last 6 1/2 years.
Unfortunately, I have to move on to something else. The thing that tipped the scales in favor of moving on was that Haloscan is ending their service. I don't have a machine of my own to run Blog on, so I am moving on to Blogger.
Again, I truly do appreciate your work and your support.
Warmest regards,
Dann | | | Logged |

| | You're the only one *I* know of. Actually, that's not true. There's one other. But that's it as far as I know. Maybe if Embarcadero comes up with the cross-platform of Delphi, I might go back to work on Blog since then I could use it myself under Mac OS X ... | | | Logged |
