SYMPTOMS
When you try to publish a FrontPage Web to a Web server, you may experience one or both of the following symptoms:

You receive the following error message:

Server error: Web  is busy. Please try again.

Or your computer appears to stop responding (hang) during the initial publishing process.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because of an interrupted connection to the server during the publishing process.



WORKAROUND
To publish after a lost connection, you must use one or both of the following methods.

Method 1

 * 1) On the server, stop and restart the HTTP service.
 * 2) Delete the file \ \ \_vti_pvt\service.lck.
 * 3) Delete the file \ \ \_vti_pvt\frontpg.lck.
 * 4) Publish the Web.

Method 2

 * 1) Cancel the publishing process.
 * 2) Check the network connection.
 * 3) Start the publishing process again.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
When the connection to the server is lost during the publishing process, the Service.lck file remains in the _VTI_PVT directory of the Web.

The Service.lck and Frontpg.lck files deny the FrontPage client access to a Web on the destination server during publishing.
