  FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
I have publish-to-web successfully but I get an, "
Unable to locate DNL file on server" error from web browser.
 
This can be caused by a number of issues. The most common one is, check that you do not have spaces in the filenames of your DNL file or HTML page. Also please check that your webserver will allow the download of DNL files.This can sometimes be done in your website control panel where your website is hosted. Or maybe just ask your webhosting support to set allow download of .dnl files from your server.

If the webserver is Windows 2003 you need to set the approiate MIME type. NOTE: This is the webserver where the file is hosted, not your current PC. This may need to be done your webhosting company.

Other web servers may or may not require it but it is better to do regardless. Windows 2003 server is designed to be very secure. It will not serve files with unknown extensions (everything except for HTM, ASP, JPG, GIF etc). You need to create the following MIME type association:

Extension: .dnl
MIME-Type: application/octet-stream

In Windows 2003, go to the Internet Services Manager, and right-click on your web site and select “Properties”. Click the “HTTP Headers” tab and click the “Mime Types…” button. Click “Add” and add the association.
