Error message: "conflicts with a path already in use"

[cfigley]

I am trying to establish through Contribute version 2's Connection Wizard a new
connection to [url]www.charlesfigley.com[/url]. After I enter this web address and hit
"next >" I receive the following:

Network paths can?t overlap
The network path you have entered conflicts with a path already in use by one
of your website connections. If you need to access this site at a higher level,
edit the path of your existing connection.

You cannot create a connection to a subfolder using this network path.

----
I have checked with GoDaddy and they can find nothing on their end to account
for such a conflict. Can you help solve this mystery? Thanks to anyone who
reads this.
Thanks,
Charles

I do not know Contribute 2, but what I do know that in later versions of the
program, this message means that you have another connection in Contribute
pointing to the same webaddress.

Check this by doing the following:
1. in the main menu go to Edit>My Connections
2. check all connections there to find the path you described
3. delete or adjust this connection

ThinkInk,
Thanks very, very much. It worked like a charm. I had forgotten that I had
attempted to establish a connection many months ago and gave up.
Do you think I should invest in an upgrade to Contribute 3 or above?
Thanks again,
Charles

When you upgrade you have to upgrade to CS3.
But I would only upgrade if you want/need things you do not have in version 2,
or when you have a site layout that's modern xhtml/css and does not display
well anymore in version 2. Otherwise I would say, when it works fine for you as
it is, keep it that way.
