A sharing violation occurred...

A sharing violation occurred while accessing C:...\MFC136.tmp

This happens nearly every time I edit a page and then F12 it to preview
(and save it).

It then brings up the Save As dialog box and I have to save the file as
if it doesn't exist. Weird.

Any way to get rid of this error?

What version of DW? What OS? What does your site definition look like
(Local, Remote, Testing)? Does it happen with all files? Does it happen
with new files?

are you using BitDefender as the A/V?

does the error stop if you temp disable the a/v?

if it does- go into the bitdefender settings and exclude the folders
containing your site files from being scanned.

Hi all,

Even i have the same problem. When i try to save a file it shows a error "A sharing violation occurred while accessing E:\.....\MFC107.tmp. Also, it deletes the file which i try to save. So i need to save the file in the same location again. It happens both in DW 8 and DW MX.

Can anybody help in this issue?

-----------------------------------------------------
Exact same problem. System WAS working fine for many months, no changes other than usual MS patches.

Details:

WinXP with all patches.
My "local files" is on a network box running win2k with the website files in a shared folder, to my computer it's W:. Whenever I save a file in DW8, same as above:

A sharing violation occurred while accessing w:\mysite\MVFxxx.tmp

Click ok, and the file I was saving is wiped out. Re-saving as a new file works fine. Save it again, and all over again. I have DW MX on a separate computer, and it works fine, no problems, accessing the same files etc.

Interestingly, sometimes - usually - it takes a minute or two or more to finally get around to announcing the violation, (hourglass in the meantime,) with one of two DIFFERENT windows sounds. A "tink" and a "dum!" - best I can do... ;)

Anything that seems to use the win explorer module is also "stuck" in the meantime. Other programs work fine.

No, I don't have the file open anywhere else with any other program. Only possible culprit is antivirus, Trend Micro Internet Security on all three computers. BUT I turned it off completely on the server, and no help, so unlikely.

Since it works fine on the other computer running DWMX, why not on mine? DW8...

So I uninstalled and reinstalled DW8, and installed the two patches, one at a time, and same problem - though I didn't test without a patch at all - it WAS working!

Searching the net this seems to be a common problem going back for years, intermittently. And I've yet to see an answer.

Perhaps time Adobe took a look at it?

thanks for any ideas and assistance,

Grant

Yes, same result when it's on the server.

NO problem when it's on MY computer.

No, just did a basic Windows uninstall and reinstall. Did not delete all user info etc. Will try all that later. $&(*%#

Also put in a report to Adobe for support - we'll see.

Why is it always so flippin' hard? I've been dealing with computers heavy since 1986, and I think it's getting worse not better. Maybe I'll go back to being a mechanic, at least then problems were always solvable!

Hi GrantHorizons

Thanks for the additional info. Yes, please try doing the 'full'
uninstall/reinstall using the TechNotes.

It'd be great if you could file a bug report too, so I can get your contact
info and track your tech support incident. Also, if you submit a bug
report, it'll be read by some engineers who may have some helpful input.
When you file the bug report, please include your forum username, so we can
link your bug report to your forum posts.

Are you working in a group? If so, is anyone else in your group having the
same problem? You mentioned you had another computer running DW MX. Can
you install the DW 8 trial on it and see if it has the same problem? You
can have both DW MX and 8 on the same PC.

Thanks,

David Alcala

Alan - thanks for your reply.

Yes, I do have BitDefender 9 Standard. I have had this problem for a
couple weeks before I bought BitDefender though. I also have Webroot Spy
Sweeper 5 and AVG Free 7.1.

I completely exited out of all three programs and I still have the
"sharing" problem.

Like Grant mentioned, I don't have the files open on any other
computers. When I save the file it deletes the original - then I have to
save where the original file was for things to work. It also plays one
of two error sounds in XP.

So no one knows how to fix this problem?

David - thanks for your reply.

I followed the instructions exactly and I still have the same problem.

Now I have reinstall all my extension and reconfigure my settings, but
that was a necessary risk.

Is there no way to fix this?

Hi all,

I had the same problem and posted it in the same thread. I fixed the problem now. Its something crazy 😉 . But it works. Its nothing to do with dreamweaver(I excatly dont know who the problem is).

I have all the site files in a server which is accesed by all my team members. All had the same problem(Even though we use different version of DW). I just formatted the server machine and opened and saved files using DW. There is no problems now. Everthing is working fine. But i still dont know who caused the problem. DW or my server machine. But anyways i have no problems now :-)

Ok, it gets weirder - sorta.

I was away on vacation, came back, both my machine (WinXP) and the server (Win2k) had Windows updates to install, so I did, then got to work - and Dreamweaver is fine. So maybe it's a Microsoft problem that DW got caught up in.

NOTES:

NO other program had any difficulty saving files to the server - all our work is on the server, shared by two computers / workers. NO trouble at all except with DW 8.

REinstalling DW as suggested above seems to be a waste of time - fortunately I didn't go through all that hassle.

If it comes back I'll post it here.

We solved this error for Dreamweaver 8 by clearing the site cache.

From the top menu, select "Site".
Select "Advanced".
Select "Recreate Site Cache".

Maybe it was a fluke but it worked for me.

I too encountered this problem with DW CS4. To get rid of it, I clicked on Site->ManageSites->Edit (for the site of interest) and then on the Advanced tab using Local Info as the category, I unclicked "enable cache" and then clicked OK, then Done. Then I previewed the site using two browser types (IE7 and FF 3) and everything appeared correctly with no more "A sharing violation occurred..." error. Not only that, but the previous problem of not having FireFox render the file's background image correctly suddenly started working again. This was actually my original problem since it would render fine in IE, but didn't render OK in FireFox.

Then I went back into Site->ManageSites->Edit and turned the enable cache setting back on. Problem seems to have disappeared. weird

Same issue.  Running CS4 and Windows 7 Ult.  Happens at work and home office.

Error: "A sharing violation occured while accessing N:\....[path-location]...\MFC72F1.tmp."

When this happens i cannot save, instead i get the above error.  i then have to click on explorer window, wait 3 seconds, then my file will dissappear/delete itself.  i then go back to DW-CS4 and 'save as' to continue.  Once i complete this monotonous process, it will not happen again unless i close file and re-open said file(s).

There are rare occassion that this doesn't happen, but i would say it happens about 90% of the time.

I had exactly the same problem. I was editing a CSS file in DW 8. I found out that JRun was somehow sharing the file. JRun is used by my local ColdFusion server, so I simply went to the Coldfusion Administrator and cleared the Template cache. After that I was able to modify my file again. Now I will see if the problem will appear again.

How did I found out which process is using the same file I was editing? Well, I saved the file under another name and tried to delete the original file. By doing that, Dreamweaver denied the action (which was actually the problem) and said something like this: "The file cannot be deleted because it is being used by JRun". This is where I got the clue!!! Finally I was able to see which freakin process is sharing my file, making it impossible to modify it!

Since JRun is used my my Coldfusion server I went to the task manager of my WIN7 and ended the ColdFusion Server processes (You cannot just end the JRun process if another running process is dependant on it). After that I FINALLY was able to modify the original file I couldn't modify before. So I restarted my CF server process and, like already written, cleared the Template cache.

Hopefully this helps. So Try to make a copy of your original file that you are having problems to modify and delete the original IN DREAMWEAVER! Hopefully Dreamweaver will tell you why it cannot delete it and most important, which process is also sharing the file, resulting in a sharing violation we want to avoid.

OMG! As it seems the problem persists! However at least now I know that if I clear the Cache in the CF Administrator I can modify the original file. Which is so annoying! It is impossible to work like that! does anyone have a better idea?

Very interesting. I went to the CF Server administration panel and in Server Settings -> Request tuning changed "Maximum number of running JRun threads" into 1. I am not sure if this is the proper solution to the problem, however for now this worked! Will see what happens next.

Yes, you're probably right. I've closed all the browsers and even dreamweaver and attacked files via the folders (I get so fed up I create a new file, delete the file that won't save and then rename the file as the original. Quite often, with no program at all running, it tells me that the file/webpage cannot be deleted because some program is already using it, this suggests a caching issue somewhere. Adobe really need to sort this out.

This is one of the most annoying bugs but it drives me mad how bug riddled nearly all Adobe products are when they are first released (i.e. you update from a stable level (i.e Studio 8) and find your productivity goes down due to all sorts of glitches in the new software.

T.Dolan

Windows XP, Adobe CS4 Web, Chrome, IE8, Firefox

PS: I'll give you a  DW bug thats about ten years old. You click on an navigation bar in DW and then edit it in Fireworks (doesn't matter what the edit is), when you click DONE, the page is updated etc, however your drop down menus have meanwhile been lost.

If the sharing violation occurs from a network file, make sure the file is opened via a mapped drive -- not via a UNC path.

GOOD:

N:\share\share\file.html

BAD:

\\servername\share\share\file.html

Many thanks for the response. The problem appears to have evaporated or at least I have noticed it in  a while. I'm not sure how this happens as I don't think Adobe do automatic updates like Microsoft, or do they?

The files will all typically be coldfusion files so there will always be a testing server specified http://localhost:8500/myWebsite/rmyIndex.cfm I'm not sure if that's what you're referring to. These are all specified when a project is first setup.

Okay I joined adobe forums just for this error message.

The solution is to turn OFF windows preview pane in explorer.  I believe this is holding some type of lock on the file which causes Dreamweaver to throw the error, this occurs because because people often double click or "right click - open with" on the file they want to edit and thus leave the preview window still on that file.  Worse yet is that if you fail to save as the file and simply close the window it will DELETE the file.  That's right not just not save the file, delete the whole thing. Scary.

I have replicated this error on two machines. Please note this was on a mapped drive.

 

I hope this helps someone and Adobe/Microsoft figure this out.  Data loss is not cool.
