I am at a loss to understand what is happening here. I was working fine up
until a few days ago and now when I publish, no files are written. This does
not make any sense as CCS had been running fine. In desperation, I
re-installed the application and attempted to regen. Still no joy. Has
anyone else seen anything like this ?

Also if I try to create a new app, I cant get past the connection wizard.
Seems to ignore anything I set. It is almost like the whole app has suddenly
become corrupted.

Thanks
David

Version?
Language?
Database?
Licensed or eval?
How are you deploying? (FTP?)
Have you tried updating the Project Settings?
Have you tried removing all the files from wherever you publish to, and
re-publish?
What is "can't get past the connection wizard" exactly? Are you unable to
connect to the database?
By "regen", you mean deploy to the server?
Do you have other projects that (mis)behave the same way?
Have you tried any of the example apps to see how they behave?

Offhand, I'd guess that maybe the account on your server is no longer
working/enabled/granted access. It may be that CCS just doesn't report
login failures? Never been in that situation so I can't say what happens.
Possibly even a lack of disk quota, so you are not allowed to create new
files. Possibly you don't have "delete" permissions on the server anymore.

If you are using V2.0, then be sure you have the latest patch (should show
version 2.0.6.11 in "Help About")

I had the same problem when my host installed a new FTP handler.

I could no longer log in - CCS gave no error, it just didnt't
publish.

Can you FTP to your site using your FTP program?

I am not using FTP, I am publishing locally.

I open an existing project by the following steps.

Open
Existing Project. Nav to the project.ccs file and opens fine. All pages are
displayed,
Open a page
Edit the page
Publish Page
Message area says
Generating "CoLoader"
Generating Common Files
Generating "Header"
Generating "Footer"
Publishing to "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\hartrodt"

But changes are not saved. If I look in the directory, then file has not
been updated.,

I then changed the Project settings to point to a whole new directory called
hartrodt2. I do Publiush Page and the directory stays empty. Nothing is
created in the new directory. I then tried to publish project and nothing
was created in the directory.

Now I am really confused, so I start a new project.

New project
Blank Page
grid Builder
Internet Database
Data Source - Articles
Select All Fields
Next
Finish

The Following components were not found. Delete Them. Articles (Grid). This
is the same grid I just created and I can see it on the page behind the
dialogue box.

Page is left blank. Very odd.

Finally, I decide to open the example files and see if they work.
(CCSExample.css). I double check the Project settings and the publishing tab
is set to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\CCSExamplePack, which is perfect for me. I
click publish project and the message area appears fine. The directory
though remains empty. This happens with ASP and C#

Look in the folder where you installed CCS. There should be a logger.ini.
This might give an indication of your problem. Since it was working and
quit, it might be a symptom of an incorrectly-registered component.
Although a bit tedious, you could try registering each of the OCX/DLL files
in that folder (from a command window, using the regsvr32 tool).

If you have Windows Update running in "automatic" mode, then it could have
updated something, without your knowledge, that CCS depends upon. If so,
finding out "what" will be tough to do.

Did you log a support request to http://support.codecharge.com?

Thank goodness it's not just me. :)

I'm on the 2.0.5.6 eval under XP Pro/SP1 using ASP and Access, and it just
went belly-up, publishing-wise, when I supposedly had five days left in the
eval period.

This is/was not good. :( I'm trying to get together a site for a major
company's beta testing phase, and the project tracking app seemed tailor
made for a quick revamp. I was down to esthetics and trying to integrate
the pure-ASP upload recommended within the help docs - and it just stopped
publishing.

The only thing I'd done differently was attempting to publish by
right-clicking on the project at the top of the tree - normally I used
either the menu Publish or the button Publish (quick or full) and once even
used F9. All those methods worked fine.

It worked under both local publishing and the first couple of times I
published via FTP to the final site, then nada. Tried switching back to
local publishing. Nope. Tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling.
Nope - but one quirk of the reinstall was that I went from 5 days left in
the eval to 11 days left. Uninstalled again and used a couple of registry
monitor and cleaning tools and scrubbed all traces that I could find.
Reinstalled. Now I'm back to 20 day eval period - but still can't publish.
It claims it's (re)generating the changed file(s), and says it's
publishing, but nothing gets sent, either via FTP or locally, and it's not
clear from date/time stamps and code examination whether the regeneration
of code in the ccs and asp files is actually being performed.

I admit - I am under the gun to get this site up and running, and I'd hoped
to use the final result to persuade the company to purchase CCS for me/them
(there's no way I could afford to buy it myself right now). In desperation
I'd even tried d/ing a couple of crackers just to see if was a screwed up
eval countdown timer (reasonable, given the quirky resetting of eval time
I'd already noted). Yeah, one of them got rid of the eval screen - but
still no publishing. Sigh. Uninstall yet again, scrubbed and now back to 20
day eval, with no publishing capability and a company getting pretty irate
at me for this delay.

I'm not out to screw Yes out of the money they need for a very nice
program - but it's going to be a hard sell to the company I'm doing this
for to buy it if there's bugs of this caliber in the program. Those
remaining five eval days would have been enough for me to have a fairly
polished project, but right now all I can do is scramble to see if CCS is,
in fact, (re)generating the files and "simply" copy and/or FTP them outside
of CCS when I need them published.

Manual copying/FTPing isn't a problem I couldn't easily work around per
se - but comparing date/time stamps and plowing through all the code to see
if I've got the most recent code IS a problem. This also sets aside the
somewhat disappointing integration with FP2002 (mostly having to do with
having multiple projects open simultaneously and how it has problems with
window tracking/placement).

I'm willing to try the 2.0.6.11 patch (if there isn't something I've missed
eval-period-wise that'll stop it from working), but haven't been able to
locate where it is.

When you first start using CodeCharge Studio, on their default page you
see, click on "updates". It takes you to the URL
http://support.codecharge.com/updates.php. From there, you can download
an upgrade patch, or redownload the whole thing.

hth,

After back and forthing with tech support for several weeks, they concluded
that it was my fault for trying to crack it to get it to work the way it
should have. Which presents me with a neat logic trap. :(

They also emphasized that it's "eval-ware", not to be trusted in actually
*doing* anything with it (I thought it was supposed to be fully functional
except for the time limit?)

They also apparently don't check their own newsgroup - they said they'd not
received any other reports of this problem.

They said if others who had this problem didn't write tech support
directly, they probably tried cracking it themselves and didn't want to be
caught.

I'm not sure how to feel about this. If my outright admission about the
"crack to fix" attempt and willingness to give them my direct contact
information wasn't enough to convince them that I was serious about this
problem, I don't know what will motivate them to look into it further.

While I definitely appreciate that they didn't throw me to the legal
wolves, I have to say I'm sadly disappointed with seemed to be a very
promising product.

Thanks, Roger. I had found it already. Tried it and it didn't help (see
reply elsewhere in thread for results of trying to resolve the problem
direct with TS).

Thanks again.

Just FYI, so far TS claims that it doesn't publish only when there's crack
attempts against CCS.

What happens when CCS "breaks" is that CCS will generate and copy the files
to a folder (with the same name as your project, proceeded with an ~
symbol) wherever you have your Windows/DOS TEMP environment setting
pointing to - then it immediately deletes them without continuing on to
copying/FTPing them to the final desired destination.

Heh, if there's a utility that can make your temp folder write-once and
generational (or that just denys deletion attempts), you should be able to
recover the temp project files (which AFAICT are in the final publish
format) and manually copy/FTP them - but it's not worth the effort for me
anymore to try to work around this quirk.
