•
The folder containing the page that the user wants to publish to may have been deleted, or
does not exist.
Save the page to another folder in the website, or create an appropriate folder for the page.
•
Another user may have locked the page. This can occur if a user with Dreamweaver MX
accesses the file and resets the lock file.
Check whether another user has the file checked out, or whether the lock file is invalid and
needs to be forcibly removed. If you need to remove the lock file, see

Problems creating new documents from templates

The following sections describe problems you may encounter when creating new pages from
templates with Contribute:
•
"Page templates don't appear in Contribute" on page 225
•
"A new page has broken images or other missing elements" on page 225
Page templates don't appear in Contribute
If your web page templates don't show up in Contribute, click the Refresh Templates button in
the New Page dialog box to download templates. If this fails to fix the problem:
•
Ensure that they have been properly downloaded from the server. Sometimes the person
downloading the templates clicks Cancel partway through the downloading process, canceling
the entire file download.
•
The permission group the user belongs to may have restricted template access. For more
information, see
•
Make sure the template file name contains the .dwt file extension.
•
Make sure that all the templates for the website reside in the Templates directory in the site
root folder.
A new page has broken images or other missing elements
If a user creates a new page from a template that has images or other dependent files, and the links
to those files appear broken, it may be that the user doesn't have access to the directory storing
those files. To correct this:
•
Ensure that the user has read access to any folders containing images or other referenced page
elements (such as Macromedia Flash movies).
•
Check that the template doesn't contain broken links or invalid syntax.
•
Check that the any file upload quotas set on the server have not been exceeded.
•
Verify that the server's disk is not full.
