Waiting on server problem

I have an intermittent problem with FTP on CS6 that is widely reported on the Internet. When I try to upload files CS6 hangs with a "waiting on server ..." message. How do I fix this bug?

Tony Minute Mar 13, 2014 8:25 AM (in response to Tony Minute)
sent this to adobe via the bug report form. they got back to me and asked me to try the following, which seems to have worked! give it a shot.
Go to Site category in preferences dialog.
Increase the FTP time out time from 30 sec to higher value. Let us say 180 sec.
Hit apply and close.
I tried this and it worked for a while but here were are again. i was dealing with this a year ago, and was already dealing with it for a year before this post, and i'm still dealing with it. Multiple macs, multiple servers.

"waiting for server" A DW problem or internet?

Hello again
As per title, Im getting frustrated with my computer! Im finally getting a long awaited re-build of my site done, BUT Im getting alot of "waiting for server" the files are uploading (mostly) but very very slowly
Where do I start for a fix? Is it internet? a 123-reg server prob? or a DW prob
OR could it even be my computer?
Ive set this day aside to get the site done, but im spending more time "googling" the problem than getting work done! Hence the direct question!

There are a lot of variable here, it could be your connection speed. If you had dialup (remember that), you would get this all the time. Another thing to look at is from another post.
I'm using DW CS3 on a Vista 64 system.
I work in split screen - Code and Design.
Fairly "busy" pages with Google ads and other external banners in the sidebars, as well as other external javascript and CSS files.
(Note the problem is not there when using only code view - DW becomes unresponsive only when a design view is open.)
Tried the delete-cache-file fix and it didn't work. (I noticed that the deleted cache file was NOT recreated on subsequent DW startups.)
What worked for me was changing a setting found in the View menu.
"Display External Files" was checked on.
Turned if off and suddenly DW started working again
(I noticed that after I did this, that deleted cache file was recreated.)
The problem and solution are repeatable on my system.
Turn that option on and open the "problem" page - DW freezes
Restart DW, turn that option off and then open the "problem" page - DW runs.

FTP Problem: Waiting for server...

I'm using Dreamweaver MX with the 6.1 patch applied. FTP
appears to connect fine, but then when it starts looking for the
remote folder it says, "waiting for server..." and eventually times
out. While searching the internet for clues to this problem I see
some people say to check off "Passive FTP"....but I don't have an
option to check "Passive FTP". Does anyone have any ideas?

You have that option in your Remote Site definition.

Mail Server Problem

The mail server problem has been resolved, mail is working as designed....yeah!!

silly discusting board, I've got 3 replies in my email but it's not showing here ...
anyway, this time I found after some chasing my tail .... that the mail preferences had wiped my password and I needed to reinstall it, then instruct it to go online and some other click stuff ....
and it seems to be ok now ....
but each round in past 2 weeks has been different "fix" .... or wait ....
sorry for anyone without master email for 5 days, that's just not right ....
I'm afraid that as apple starts "giving away" email accounts to build the cloud into something much bigger than the mobile me was .... that their folo up will fail and we will find ourselves not with the same apple durability / consistency but with the "hey it's free" attitude ....
let's see

Waiting for server

Why am I eternally waiting for the server when I'm trying to upload tiny text files to a web site with a perfectly good connection? This happens all the time. One minute I'm waiting until the connection times out and the next it's perfectly fast. What's the point in using Dreamweaver if it can't upload to a server? It's mostly useless otherwise. Transmit works ten times faster and is much more reliable and cheaper. Why can't Adobe simply buy Transmit and stick their code into Dreamweaver, since there is nobody at Adobe who actually knows how to program anything. They're all too busy trying to look cool while making long-winded videos.

Under Edit --> Preferences --> Site I have experimented with FTP disconnect (idle) and FTP time out high values low values - I am currently set to disconnect after 0 minutes idle and 60 second on the time out.
Many people have tested and Adobe should put a FTP log sniffer on the FTP process and look at ever command in the Upload to see where and why the FTP process hangs up. Why does it fail some times and work other times. It can fail on the 1st FTP after restating the PC, opening DW only and doing a post. The FTP in the DW Log is insufficient and does not record the full process or if it does, the log is out of sequence with the actual events.
I ran a put on a small directory - the DW FTP log shows all files transferred. On the server, I could see that the files were all updated, yet DW was hung up with a message waiting on server and the lower right status line had an icon under Files and a message - Sometimes during a get when the local file is open in DW and is also selected as part of a multi-file download, DW pops up a dialog box warning of the loss of changes (the dialog box is behind the background activities window and is not visible, unless one mouse's over the taskbar icon that displays the DW editor window and background activities window, then mouse-over on the background activities window beings the hidden overwrite and lose changes to the forefront. Even though it is visable one can not interact with the dialog box as its non-modal and all of DW is frozen waiting for user interaction with a hidden dialog box.
If you read the posts - the common problem is that FTP connects properly intermittently, results in long waits/timeouts. FTP cant publish when the preceding FTP is hung-up. Forcing a cancel often frees up the blockage allowing FTP to post properly / maybe on the following attempt. While this is part of the problem, its not the entire problem. If one is a web developer working on multiple sites and makes updates often, this problem is very pronounced. Switching between websites is also a problem and causes DW to greyout and the system to respond that the Dreamweaver application is not responsive close or wait.... I wait and it comes back. I am on an I7, Win7 Pro, All SSD drives - my PC smokes. However, DW has issues related to bottlenecking or waiting for some internal process to respond before allowing FTP or a change from one local site to another. - If the FTP is not locked up, I can open and close different sites as fast as I can click. FTP upload site-A and then switch to site-B, DW hangs up, does not release Site-A (for a while) and the OS pops up a dialog that the application is not responding.
Instead of guessing at problems, Adobe should create web space on Linux and Windows platforms, load a test site that is comparable to a real world site with linked CSS, included images, .... and then do some posting and analyze the problem first had. Adobe has the resources to test its code. If Adobe needs access to a live case, I will provide access. You have my profile information, call or email me and I will respond.

Ca'nt ftp longer (i.e. 4 minutes) flv or f4v files (get error message "waiting for server") I

when I ftp(i.e. "put" or "upload) short flv or f4v files using dreamweaver cs4 the files upload easily and quickly. However, when I try to ftp ("put" or "upload" ) longer (i.e. 4 minutes or longer) flv or f4v files it goes through the ftp process (seeing it in background activity screen) but at the end I always get a message "waiting on server" and the longer files don't get onto hosting server. Is there a setting I need to change or other method I need to use). I have worked with my hosting support tech person but we could not solve this problem.

I'd suggest that you try using a dedicated FTP program like Filezilla or SmartFTP.
http://filezilla-project.org/
Those programs give you much more feedback on what's happening as you attempt to upload files, including error messages, etc.
There is really no difference between uploading large files and small files, the process on the server is exactly the same..UNLESS there are limits to file size or video duration set by your host. So dispite the fact that you have worked with your host support, I'd still say that the problem is server side or being limited by your Internet service provider... unless the video files you are attempting to upload are corrupted.
You didn't say if any portion of the larger video files were uploaded...and FTP program will show you whether or not ANY of the file was uploaded and at what point it stopped. You also didn't mention how large the video files where.... sort of where the "tipping point" is in file size (video duration of course is no measure of file size).
Just to reassure you, the file size of a video file will have no bearing on your ability to FTP unless your host or ISP is limiting you in some way.
I regularly Live stream events and also record them. An 8 hr event will produce roughly 1.5GB of compressed video. I use SmartFTP, with a reputable host and can upload the entire set of 1.5GB of video files (each about 50MB) over a 1000kbps upload connection without problem. Recently during a movie production project, we uploaded a number of single video file which each where over 1GB a piece.
So there is really no problem uploading video files unless there are restriction on you account from the host or the ISP.

}Problem description:-
I simplified this problem from my long code into 2 test files with the problem only.
TestThread.java is the server
testSocket.java is the client
Running TestThread.java first then run testSocket twice without closing any would only show that it executes till line 46 and refuses to run further
It would execute the TestThread till line 38 and not go further.
Any help with this problem? Say I delete line 38 of testSocket and line 49-52 of TestThread, it would work fine but wouldn't work with input from different clients which would result in the program to hang there. I need to have input and output from different clients to the server at different time and interchangeable from one client to the other. In my program, the clients does different jobs so use of threads is out of the question.

I found your mistake.
Your clients are trying to receive a message that server has not sent.
String message = inputFromServer.readUTF(); //read start message
System.out.println(message);//start mess
message = inputFromServer.readUTF(); //read hehehe message
System.out.println(message);//hehehe
message = inputFromServer.readUTF(); //read hahaha message
System.out.println(message);//hahaha
message = inputFromServer.readUTF(); //<<----- what message? hangs waiting a server message
new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream()).writeInt(99);      //this is not executed
...And your server hangs wait your clients int.
Anyway, you should not recreate the DataOuputStream! use the objects you've already create.
Lines 49 to 52 on server should be:
int y = inputFromClient1.readInt();
System.out.println("message from client 1 : "+ y);
int x = inputFromClient2.readInt();
System.out.println("message from client 2 : "+ x);It also applies to your client, see line 40.

Cannot Connect To FTP Server (Waiting For Server)

no matter what I do, I am unable to connect to my FTP server. In dreamweaver when I try and connect my site, it just keeps saying waiting for server. I have also just recently downloaded filezilla to see if it was dreamweaver that was messing up, and it turns out, it wasn't! because I am having the same problems on there too, when I try and connect to my site in filezilla, it just times out. I have disabled all my firewalls, played around with every setting possible (turning mt FTP from passive to active etc) whats going on? is the server playing up? someone help me please! I have had no problems like this before, it only began yesterday.

Could it be a signal? Have a look here http://suite101.com/article/2012-end-of-the-world-predictions-by-nostradamus-a148071
On a more professional note, I think it is best to contact the host, he/she is sure to help you.

Waiting For Server CS4 Virgin Media 1and1

Hi
Over the last few month I have been getting "Waiting For Server" error messages from Dreamweaver while working on my websites hosted on a dedicated server with 1and1. My ISP is Virgin Media, whith whom Ihave a 50MB connection using a Virgin Media super hub.
This problemn didn't exist just over a month ago.
I have asked boith 1and1 and Virgin Media for help. Both deny there is a problem with the connection at either end and have suggested it is a Dreamweaver problem.
I have completely uninstalled Dreamweaver on both my Laptop and Desktop PC's.
I have tried the passive FTP and server compatibility settings within Dreamweaver, with no difference.
I have also tried using a couple of external DNS services, with no difference.
While I'm working, I can mayb eedit and save 5 files, then on mayb eth e6th I'll get the waiting for server message, which will then connect and save the file after about 30 seconds.
Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions that I haven't tried yet?
Many thanks
Mr M

Yes, I am editing the files directly on the server. Until recently, I've been working this way for years.
Dangerous. You must be exceptionally confident.
Are you working in CF?
At any rate, I'm not experienced with using this configuration, nor do I know anyone that works this way. Maybe someone else will pop in to help....

How to fix "server problem" error message when trying to use PhoneGap build service.

I have a site that is now optimized for mobile devices and want to use the PhoneGap Build service in Dreamweaver CS6 to make a native app. Unfortunately, I keep getting the "We seem to be having server problems." error message when I try to create a new project. I did notice that the configuration file was created at the site root. I've seen a few other similar threads on this, but no solution. I've checked on any firewall issues (none) and know that the PhoneGap server is not down. The problem is on my end.
Thanks,
Loren

Not an answer to the server problem, but I have posted the PhoneGap Build process here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4669054#4669054. It might help anyone still having problems.

Firefox periodically drops my Verizon/Yahoo email site indicating it cannot find the server. Verizon alledges there are no server problems.

My email page will crash and the message received is:Firefox can't find the server at us.mc844.mail.yahoo.com. Repeated reloading does not help. After a period of time from 5 minutes to an hour the site can be accessed and is Ok for several days. The the problem reoccurs several times in the same day. When my email provider is contacted they indicate no server problems.

Report your error messages so your peers, like me, can make suggestions..
Official recommendations are on http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/verizon/mail/ymail/basics/mail-12859445.html NOTE THE URL's Stick with them if using YAHOO. I have not found a newer recommendation for pop.yahoo.verizon.net that you mention, and the help page was updated this month.
Note some have had trouble with missing intermediate certificates so get encryption errors. Shouldn't happen (except if you are missing the root certificate, which is your responsibility), but can be fixed by installing manually.
Some have reported needing to specify [email protected] rather than just userid, I believe on the SMTP side. Normally you specify only userid and password without the @verizon.net.
