Contribute Publishing Bug?

Hello to all Contribute experts and fanatics alike!
Seems like a lot of folks are having issues with publishing
using Contribute.
As the connection to the web server seems to have a bug, and
from experience
I always have my connection getting cut off, and having to
reconnect again.
For some reason I'm able to publish to my web server, but
I'm unable to publish to my folders on my web server. Anyone
know why?
For example, I make a copy of a new page -- click Publish
> Choose Folder> --
I pick the specific folder I want to publish it to -- click
Select (destination folder) --
a screen pops up saying "Waiting for Server" -- Then it all
freezes, and I have to shut it down.
Anyone know why? Your reply is great appreciated. Thanks.

I don't know if this is a stupid idea and I haven't had this
problem yet, but are these folders perhaps not writable.
There are so many servers and server-configurations out
there... Maybe you could try to fire up a ftp-program (filezilla is
free) and chmod these folders to make them writeable and see what
happens.
Also you could check the user-role settings and make sure
that there aren't any complecations in the way folder-access is
configured there.
grtz.

  • Contribute Publishing Server and Contribute CS3?

    Is Contribute CS3 compatible with Contribute Publishing
    Server? If not, does anyone know if an update to CPS is coming
    soon? It's still at version 1.11. Yikes!

    I guess I didn't see anything from Macromedia that tells me
    that CPS works with the new version. I'm not looking for new
    features. I just want to make sure there aren't any
    incompatibilities, outstanding bugs.

  • Contribute Publishing Server and SSO

    Hello,
    Does anyone know how to integrate Single Sign on (SSO) for
    contribute publishing server? Basically instead of contribute
    asking for authentication it sends out a request. In my
    circumstance I need it to authenticate via Smart card instaed of
    username /password
    Thanks!

    We have Contribute Publishing Server running and have forgotten the admin password. How do we reset this?

  • Publish bug Cap4 (0KB)

    We have observed a publishing bug which results in .htm files of 0KB on multiple machines publishing different projects.
    Often, Cap4 simply does not complete the publishing operation and just hangs w/o ever show the "View Ouput" option and green checkmark.
    Reboots don't fix it, but if I keep at it, eventually I can get a project to publish after multiple reboots. I typically use Flash 8 but I have the bug with 8, 9, or 10.
    We'll keep recording this bug in our logs, but we have only ever observed it in Cap4.
    thanks,
    Jon

    I believe I spoke too soon.  After further testing, I encountered the problem again and am unable to figure out the root cause of the problem.  The problem may be due to the webkit-tap-highlight being added to the div tag.  I am still seeing the problem when nesting text inside a square inside edge animate.  However, I don't see it consistently and I have no idea where the webkit-tap-highlight is originating from.
    Has anyone else encountered this issue when publishing in Edge Animate?

  • Do I need Contribute AND Contribute Publishing Server?

    Do I need to have Contribute Publishing Server installed on
    the web server on order to update web pages with Contribute?
    - Andrea

    Hi,
    I downloaded the trial of contribute cs3 and was able to
    update web pages without cps. I'm still trying to figure out
    exactly what cps does though?

    We have just upgraded to Windows Server 2008 64 bit. I can
    not find any documentation if Contribute Publishing Server will
    install and work in that environment. Does anyone know?????

  • Contribute Publishing Services and Windows Server 2008

    Has anybody been able to install Contribute Publishing Services 1.11 on a 32-bit Windows Server 2008?  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    I was able to get it "installed" by copying a previous installation from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008. Got a blog post about it here:
    http://onceuponans.blogspot.com/2009/04/installing-contribute-publishing.html
    I think our next rev of the website probably won't use Contribute any more. Too bad, really - I rather liked it.

  • Can not install contribute publishing server on linux

    Hi, All:
    I try to install the contribute publishing server on Red Hat
    Linux and Sun Solaris.
    It works very well on Sun Solaris.
    But I have problem in installing on Red Hat 64 bit Fedora
    core 6 machine, and got the error message:
    "gzip: /tmp/install.dir.20676/Linux/resource/vm.tar.Z: not in
    gzip format"
    I even manually try to use "uncompress", "zcat" to uncompress
    /tmp/install.dir.20676/Linux/resource/vm.tar.Z
    but it did not work.
    Any idea or suggestion will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    it requires a minimum of Windows 7 SP 1 before installing SQL server 2008.
    It can be downloaded from below:

  • Contribute Cs5 bug in reading pdf. file

    I am using a trial version of Contribute Cs5 on my Mac.  When I want to see a pdf. file on my website through Contribute Cs5, after following all the instruction, I got the following message:
    The requested URL /SRC_Residents/Interest Group/Walkers schedule/currentmonth__MMtmp315cb6b9/currentmonth.pdf was not found on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    I then looked into my website and found that there is an added folder with the above name, but there is nothing in this folder. My file is definitely there because I can see it on my website directly in the same folder as the added folder from Contribute.
    I think this is a bug in the Contribute program.  Apparently Contribute created this folder but did not put the file in the right place.
    I will only consider buying this version if the bug is corrected.
    Does the Contribute Cs5 have the same problem in the PC version?
    Tsing Bardin

    Hi Tsing,
         To upload pdf, doc, xls files to your website, you can use the Publish File From My Computer option.
    Click File menu, and select Publish File From My Computer from the dropdown menu.
    In the resulting dialog, browse to the folder that contains the pdf document, select the pdf document and click Select button. (If you are connected to multiple websites, Contribute will ask you to select which website you would want to upload the file to. Select a website.)
    Then, you get the Publish dialog, where, you can choose in which folder you want to publish the file to, and click Publish button.
    Now, the file will be uploaded to your website.
    Similar to Flash Paper option, latest versions of Contribute has Insert Document as PDF and Insert PDF. So, you can embed a pdf document within your web page and then publish. For more information - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/contribute/cs/using/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d1180fba204e-7f91. html
    As for the contents being empty in the temporary folder, the contents are deleted after preview in browser is done. That is, after closing the Browser window after Preview in Browser, the contents in the temporary folder are deleted.

  • Another Flickr Publish Bug?

    I have no objection to the images I upload to Flickr being accessbile to public searches.
    Yet every time I publish or republish a photo, Flickr's setting ... "It is hidden from public searches" seems to get set for each image - even if I manually override for an individual image using the Flickr Web interface and then republish from LR it gets set back to this state - see below...
    I have set my Flickr user profile with ...
    so I don't think this behaviour is being caused by Flickr...
    and I cannot see any settings at the LR Flickr Publishing settings which would cause this ...
    Any help in either correcting my lack of understanding or confirming it a bug would be appreciated.
    Many thanks
    Alan.

    I can confirm the bug in LR 3.0, it happens every time I republish.
    There is at least one other annoying problem caused by republishing. If you have posted the photo into a group thread (by copying and pasting the HTML), the link from the thread back to the photo gets broken when you republish. It shows up as "This photo is currently unavailable".
    I haven't downloaded LR 3.2RC yet to see if these issues have been fixed.

  • Publishing Bug

    I have set up several shows that can be successfully rehearsed, recorded, and reviewed with VC 3. However, longer shows (3-5 minutes) freeze during publishing. I have used pack and go and tested the show on three different computers. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled VC 3. The problem will not go away and is predictable. The bug happens when a video clip avi or wmv is inserted into the show. In fact the freeze h happens when such clips are triggered. Is there a way to bypass VC 3s publisher? Can I extract the files and use a different program to publish? Does anyone know how to fix this bug?

    This sounds like a problem. I just purchased VC3 upgrade.
    I have been using an early version of Visual Communicator Plus. I have read about this problem a few other times on this forum. Only being able to publish three minutes of video, before it freezes, don't sound good. I'm curious, it sounds like a processor problem. What kind of processors are you using?

  • Contribute publish produces 0 byte page

    Hello,
    We recently setup a website for a client in contribute. Everything was going fine they were editing and adding content at will. However they called me about some pages that had gone "blank" on them.
    I grabbed the file from the FTP server and opened it in dreamweaver. Turns out Contribute somehow wiped out the page completely, there were no characters of any kind in the file it was completely empty. It didn't matter whether it was editable areas or not, all of the html page structure, written content images etc... all gone.
    I reviewed the steps our client had taken before this problem occurred. He had been editing pages as normal, it didn't matter if they were editing lots of content on the page or just changing a word. They would complete their edits and then click publish... but the publish function would hang for a long time, minutes in fact, much longer than normal. The an error would appear on screen, unfortunately they didn't copy what the error read, and when they clicked ok their page was blank.
    I'm trying to track down what could have caused this to happen? I've had a few clients use contribute before and this is the first time I've run into this problem. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
    Client is using contribute 4. (not cs5)
    Thanks!

    Have the same problem using Contribute CS 4 Release 5 on OS X 10.7.
    This makes Contribute absolute useless ...
    Any ideas how to figure out the cause or how to fix the problem?

  • Lightroom 3 - Flickr Publish Bug

    I am experiencing an issue where when I publish images to Flickr they immediately show up as "Modified Photos to Re-Publish" and will not ever move to the "Published" section even though I have not changed a thing.
    Anyone have any ideas as to what I am missing?
    Thanks!

    Although not related to the original post – “Stuck in republish”, which I think is now fixed; here is my take on the situation you are describing -
    I suspect there is a bug in the LR software which is still present in LR 3.4RC.
    I believe this bug manifests itself in two ways when an attempt is made to republish an existing published photo …
    1)      If you are privately publishing and attempt to republish an existing photo, then LR sends a parameter (“Hidden” from public searches) incorrectly and out of bounds in accordance with the Flickr API, and Flickr quite rightly rejects it.   I suspect LR is sending values of 1 or 2 (Hidden or not) for this “hidden” parameter when it should be sending 0 or 1 to the set safety level function.
    2)      Probably related to the same technical reason as point 1 - if a non-private photo is republished then instead of the photo continuing to be made available in public searches it is now erroneously made hidden from public searches when it reaches Flickr – again 1 or 2 instead of 0 or 1.   This is somewhat annoying if you go through a re tagging exercise for the benefit of public searching only to find that they are now hidden from searches once re-published.
    I have seen no confirmation from any other user of point 2 above despite posting the question here ...   http://forums.adobe.com/thread/796350
    Further points …
    Since the Lightroom Software Development Kit contains a sample of the Lua code which is used for publishing, I have pointed to the actual lines of code I suspect are in error in this thread which also contains some technical dialog with Matt Dawson a Community Professional …
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/821148?tstart=0
    I have raised a bug report with this technical detail, and raised a bug report for each of the two cases I mentioned above.     Hopefully this may result in some action, but I would suggest that if this important to you that you also raise a bug report, as there appears to be, to some an extent, a principle of - they who shout loudest or most often will get priority.
    As a side note … to cure the problem for the moment, although I don’t want to use third party software long term, I have adopted a Flickr publishing plugin by Friedl for my private publishing until this is fixed.    If you Google “Friedl Flickr” you will find it.     I have not yet decided to adopt this plugin for my public publish due to concern about the possibility of losing all comments and favourite tagging by other Flickr members – I simply do not know at this point.
    It is also interesting that the change log for this Friedl plugin on his web site also describes being tripped up by the same peculiarity present in the Flickr API which probably gave rise to this mistake by Adobe.    The Flickr API may have its peculiarities, but it is well defined and this is a Lightroom bug in my opinion.

  • CS5 Contribute - Publishing Error

    I am encountering a problem when trying to publish changes to my website from my home computer (Mac).  I receive the following error:
    "You can't perform this action on this draft.  The draft is invalid because a lock has been broken and another instance might have already acted on the draft.  Contribute will remove this invalid draft from your machine."
    I click Ok and it then removes the draft.  However the process just loops over and over again.  I have no dramas when publishing from my Mac at work.
    Can anyone suggest any solutions?  For the record, both Macs are running Snow Leopard.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
         Can you try removing your website connection (if you have any drafts, discard them) and then re-connect to your website and try editing and publishing the web pages?
         If this does not work, can you try clearing Preferences by deleting the Adobe Contribute 6 Preferences file from <UserName>/Library/Preferences/ folder. Also delete the folder Contribute CS5 from <UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ folder. Here '<UserName>' is the user's Home directory. By deleting these, your website connections will be removed. Launch Contribute and recreate your website connection, and try editing and publishing the web pages in your website.
    Hope this helps.
