Microsoft FrontPage
This section covers enabling/disabling MS FrontPage, how MS FrontPage changes your site, and how to upload with MS FrontPage.
Enabling / Disabling FrontPage Extensions
First, access the FrontPage menu by clicking on "FrontPage Extensions" from the main control panel screen. You will see a table that looks like this:
FrontPage extensions are not enabled by default. To enable them, enter your control panel password in the "System Password" field and click "Enable." You will be taken back to the same page, where the "Status:" will now read "Enabled."
To disable FrontPage extensions, follow the same procedure except click the "Disable" button.
How MS FrontPage Changes Your Site
Enabling MS FrontPage means losing .htaccess in your web directories. Because of this, the Directory Password Protection feature will no longer work after installing FrontPage extensions.
Note: Any Site Redirects created before FrontPage extensions are enabled will be deleted. However, you may re-create them after FrontPage is enabled.
Uploading with MS FrontPage
FrontPage 2000
1. Make sure you are connected to the Internet. Open your FrontPage Web.
2. From the File menu, select "Publish Web..."
3. Enter your web site address in the box, as pictured below. Click "Publish."
Make sure to use WWW in your domain name.
Note: FrontPage can be configured to publish only changed pages. Please enable this option ("Options" button).
4. Enter your username and password. Click "OK."
5. FrontPage may ask if you wish to overwrite the files on the server. Click "Yes."
6. After the files are uploaded you will see the following window. Click the link to view your updated web site.
FrontPage 2002
FrontPage 2002 publishing is very similar to FrontPage 2000 publishing:
1. Make sure you are connected to the Internet. Open your FrontPage Web.
2. From the File menu, select "Publish Web..." Make sure FrontPage only uploads changed pages.
3. Enter your website to publish to (http://www.yourdomain.com).
Make sure to use WWW in your domain name.
4. Enter your username and password.
Managing FrontPage Extensions
After enabling FrontPage extensions on your domain, you will be able to access the Microsoft FrontPage Administration web panel by clicking on the "FrontPage Admin" link:
After authenticating using your system username and password you will be presented with the Microsoft "FrontPage Server Extensions 2002" administration panel with which you will be able to create FrontPAge users, assign access levels, create Sub-webs and more.
For additional information on how to use the features on this page, click on the "Help" link at the top of the "FrontPage Server Extensions 2002" administration page.
