    Default Move site to new server

    I've just moved a client's site to a new server. I'm sure I copied all the
    files over including the notes folders etc.

    After updating his ftp login info in Contribute, my client reports he can
    connect tothe site OK, but that Contribute is telling him that file(s) are not
    found.

    I am unsure how to resolve this issue. Are there particular files, like
    hidden files, that may not have gotten copied to the new server?

    If I cannot resolve this, would it be advisable to delete that site conneciton
    in Contribute and set up a new site. If so, do I need to go through the site
    and cancel the files Contribute stores on the server, and if so, which ones?

    He's using Contribute 3 on an XP box, he is set up as admin I think. I do not
    administer the site with Contribute, I use Dreamweaver.MX 2004.

    Also, if its relevant the existing html site files were modified in
    Dreamweaver during the transfer to the new server (just link changes and such).

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Default Re: Move site to new server

    Some things that helped us.
    If your client is the admin then the chances of them od adjusting the
    administration settings in Contribute is slim so....

    In an ftp program ( not dreamwearver as it hides it) delete the _notes folder
    off the server.

    Then get your client in the edit menu of Contribute go to "my connections"
    pick the one that is accociated with the site and delete it.

    Then make a new connection in Contribute and set the site up again. ie name
    ftp details etc...

    this is the quickest and easiest way to get them up and running again.

    If they still have trouble connecting to the pages sometime the options in the
    "Advanced" button next the the ftp settings can help.
