Web site URL is invalid. on publish

[pschmidt]

when trying to publish i get this error message:

Location status: Error

Details:
Web site URL is invalid.

my url is http://www.mysitename.com
and if i type this url in my iexplorer the site is shown (old content of course).

What is going on here what am I doing wrong ???
Does anybody have any ideas ??


I'm running the windows version 3.2 + latest hotfix on win 2003 server (VPS).
I'm hosting the domain on the same server.
The Domain is setup using Plesk.

This is what the log shows:
Publish Location checker, CheckStatic step error
System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
at SWsoft.SiteBuilder.BO.Facade.Publish.LocationChecker.CheckStatic()

Hello,
This error means that site's publication settings have some problem. Following these settings Sitebuilder tries to deploy files to the place that doesn't correspond to the site url (before publication SiteBuilder tries to verify publication place: deploys some test files and makes http request). Please check that url 'http://www.mysitename.com' really corresponds to the deployment place. May be you can easily solve this problem on the Plesk's forum. Hope it helps.

Hi Alex
Thank you for the reply.

How do I do this:
Please check that url 'http://www.mysitename.com' really corresponds to the deployment place
??????

Can it be that I'm getting this problem because I'm hosting the domain on the same VPS that is running sitebuilder ???

In order to preview my sites I had to add this :
key="PreconfiguredUrl"value="http://localhost:2006/Sites" /
to HostingService.exe.config

And I have added: 127.0.0.1 www.mysitename.com - to my host file to be able to see the site in my browser.
Does the URL check use the domains IP-adress which is 87.230..... ???

Is there a workaround for this or a way to avoid this check ??
It should just xcopy the files to a local folder (very simple really)-I don't need this URL check.

You need to make sure that domain www.mysitename.com is resolved correctly on your server as during publishing process domain name is resolved by Sitebuilder.
You need also make sure that working directory set up correctly: The path on the server to which the site files will be published. E.g. /dir1/

Please check it up and let me know if you still experience any issues with this.
By the way, there should not be any issues related to one location for SB ans virtual hosts.
