For some reason, the Session folder has disappeared and I am receiving the following messages.  I have no idea how to fix this.  Can you help?

Problem File/Dir
•The directory does not exist
/home/cgi-bin/calendarscript/session

•The file does not exist
/home/cgi-bin/calendarscript/session/junk.txt

Just an update.  I went in directly at the host site, created the folder "session" and a "junk.txt" under it and then it worked for me.

However, then I made a change to one of my web pages in Frontpage, and published it using the FP wizard (as always), and then the script would not work again.

I see there is a new version 3.2 available.  Is this a bug that is fixed in it, and if so, is there someone willing to help step me through the installation process?  I had a terrible time just getting this version to work, so I hate to fiddle with it if I don't have to.  I have no expertise in this type of work.

Thanks.

I am having this problem still.  Can anyone out there tell me why and what needs to be done to correct it, please?

I know, I know......  everytime I use FrontPage to upload changed pages my session folder disappears, too. It is *not* fixed in v 3.2.

I simply FTP a new session folder, with *no* contents and then things run smoothly again. It only takes a second or two to accomplish, but it's a pain when other people are making changes to the website and I haven't been notified, then someone else tries to log into the calendar and I get a nasty call!

Creating the cgi-bin as a subweb is not a good workaround for large sites that have one or more preexisting subwebs, and I have *yet* to read in the Forums a description of the method one would use to do it.

Since it is obviously a problem with FrontPage and not the script, it is unlikely any CalendarScript updates will change it.

I would suggest you look into FrontPage and see if you can configure it (or the server) to not touch that directory when it is used for updating your site.
