Good morning. I am going through the Cascade Getting Started Guide located at http://www.hannonhill.com/kb/Cascade-Server-CMS-Primer-Advanced/. I attempted to download demo.zip from Hannon Hill's website, upload and unpack it into my Cascade Server site and use the "Integrate Folder Conversion" option to create html pages. When no pages were integrated, I did some backtracking and I found that when I had attempted to import the site, errors were encountered.

The "Part 4 - Import Existing Website" section explains how to import a site. I downloaded demo.zip and attempted to upload and unpack it. When I executed the Tools --> Zip Archive command, I was taken to the "Report" tab of the "Zip Archive" screen. The status (in the Properties section) is "All items unpacked successfully". However, the Errors section contains the statement "Unpack error". I checked all my folders (in Cascade), and I do not see where demo.zip was uploaded. Can you please provide some guidance as to what is happening? Thank you.

   Hi,

   I just tested this locally using the demo.zip file and everything appears to have been unpacked successfully. The part you are seeing at the bottom under the Errors section does say 'Unpack Error', but I believe that is just the static heading for the section that would contain errors had there been any. The zip file will extract to the Placement Folder that was selected when you first clicked Tools -> Zip Archive. Keep in mind that the zip file itself will not be uploaded there - instead, all of the files that were contained within the zip will end up in the Placement Folder.

   Let me know if you need more help.

   Thanks
