Your website is involved in a large number of complex interactions that, depending on server configuration, may span multiple states or even the country and back again.

Modern Campus CMS keeps the content of your web pages in .pcf files and stylesheets for your pages' layout in .xsl files. The rest of the content comes from your production server (images, media, RSS, scripts, server side includes and programming pages) and some other third-party servers on the internet. Therefore, Modern Campus CMS servers must make multiple connections with these other servers to load pages, one for each item. With Modern Campus CMS servers in California, if your production server is on the East Coast, that's multiple cross-country trips the information must take before finally reaching your computer.

  1. Please check that your production server is up and running and Modern Campus CMS has access to it. Navigate to Setup > Sites > the site in question > Production Server FTP settings.
  2. Make and publish a basic test page. If this runs smoothly, then the publish process is functioning as it should.
  3. Check the third-party content on the page that you are rendering. For example, make sure the page is not displaying a 100 GB movie, or other extremely large files which could take a long time to render.
  4. PDF Course Catalogs can take up to twenty minutes to be rendered due to complexity of XSL-FO transformation.
  5. A complete site publish can take a long time, depending on the number of files that are being transferred from staging to production servers.
  6. If all else fails, submit a ticket to our helpdesk.
