Click here to jump
to "Publishing your site using FrontPage"
The FrontPage extensions must be installed before you
begin to work with FrontPage.
- Open your FrontPage program. Then, click on File,
Open Web
- Type in your domain name where it says Folder name:
- Click open
- You'll be presented with a username & password
prompt.
- After typing in the correct username & password,
whatever you have stored on your web site will open up into your FrontPage
program.
Here are some miscellaneous
tips that we found in a great knowledge base:
You know you have FrontPage extensions, and
yet when you try to use formmail.pl, you get this message:
You have sent a
form or have followed a link to a page that requires a Web server and FrontPage
extensions to work correctly.
This form or FrontPage component will work correctly if you publish (copy) this
web into a web server having the FrontPage extensions.
SOLUTION: Use FrontPage's own forms.
FrontPage has the equivalent of formmail, and it is very difficult to use
formmail and FrontPage together. Although it may be technically possible,
instructing a client on how to do this is simply beyond what we offer in FrontPage
support.
If you want to restrict access to
directories, you have to turn the subdirectories into SubWebs and use
FrontPage's access restrictions. It's not that hard to do:
-
Create the subweb by doing File
--> New -->FrontPage Web
-
Select "Import an existing web"
-
Choose a title for your web. Since you
can only restrict access to a web that's on the server, be sure you change
the path so that it is going to the Internet location. Click ok
-
It will start the process to make the new
web
-
The Import Web Wizard will come up.
Select "From a World Wide Web site". In the location box, put in
the path to the specific directory, for example, http://domain.com/members .
This will get only that directory, and not the whole web. Click next
-
This is where you limit the amount of
information you will receive. Unless you know your pages are more extensive
than these defaults, just leave it at the default and click next.
-
Click finish and wait a few minutes as
the content copies over.
At this point, you have all your information in a new web.
Now you can set up the restrictions.
-
In the FrontPage Explorer, click on Tools
--> Permissions...
-
Select "use unique permissions for
this web". Click apply at this time.
-
Click on the users tab
-
Select "only registered users have
browse access"
-
Add any users you need, and then click
ok.
-
Create the subweb by doing File -->
New -->FrontPage Web
-
Select "Import an existing web"
-
Choose a title for your web. Be sure you
change the path so that it is going to the Internet location. Click ok
-
It will start the process to make the new
web.
