| What's
Front Page extensions? |
Microsoft
FrontPage is a WYSIWYG (What You See
Is What You Get) web building
software. FrontPage requires special
'extensions' installed on the server.
If you do not have Front Page
Extensions installed you will need to
do so from your control panel.
In the Web Control Panel from the menu
at the left select “Front Page
Extensions”. A new page will open
and you will be able to select the
virtualhost to install FPE to.

| Publishing
your website with Front Page. |
After
you have built your web pages on your
hard disk, you can upload them to our
server. Once this is done, your pages
will be viewable from the web.
However, you must do this in the
following manner.
1. Launch FrontPage Explorer and open
the web site you have created on your
computer.
2. From the menu at the top select
“File” > “Publish”
3. If this is the first time you
publish to our server, select “More
Webs” and enter the location you
want to publish your FrontPage web
site to. (http://www.yourdomain.com)
Then hit the Enter key on your
keyboard.
If you are just making changes to an
existing web site, your 'Destination
Web Server' (http://www.yourdomain.com)
will appear in the Publish window.
IMPORTANT: Use “http://www.yourdomain.com”
as the Destination Web Server to
publish to our server. Leave the
'Destination Web Name' blank.
4. Use the following username and
password:
Username: your account username
Password: your FTP password
|
| How
come ONLY my index page is not loading
when I publish my site? |
Right
click index.html (in FrontPage),
select 'Properties' -> select
Workgroup. Chances are that you have
checked off 'Exclude this file when
publishing the rest of the web.' -
check it.
|
| How
do I BACKUP my website using FrontPage
? |
Open
your web in FrontPage. Next, in your
folder list:
1. Click on the little (minus) sign so
that it changes to a plus and pulls
all of your files into the one
directory named: http://yourdomain.com/
It should also be highlighted now.
2. Go to 'File'
Choose 'Publish Web'
Click 'Browse'
Now, select your desktop. We suggest
you create a folder on your desktop
called 'BackUp'.
3. Now, select the backup folder, and
click 'Open'
4. Lastly, Click 'Publish'
That's it.
It may ask you some questions, but
that is all you have to do. It will
copy/publish your entire site to that
folder of your choice.
|

your website online with FrontPage. |

1. Click 'File'
2. Choose 'Open Web'
3. Type in your domain name in the
FOLDER NAME BOX, type in your domain
name in the following FORMAT: http://yourdomain.com/

click 'OPEN' again...
THIS should load your entire site,
where you will be able to dynamically
edit the entire site.

Your Published Web with FrontPage. |
Once
your FrontPage Web is published and
online, you will need to access it to
make updates and changes. Be sure that
you are connected to the internet
before attempting to open your web on
our server.
1. Open FrontPage Explorer and choose
'File' > 'Open FrontPage Web'.
2. You can now choose to open a
previously created web on your PC or
your web on our server.
3. Highlight the appropriate web or
type in the web address (www.yourdomain.com)
and click OK.
4. Enter your Username and FTP
Password if required.
5. Make modifications and recalculate
links if needed. (See your FrontPage
Manual for info on when it's necessary
to recalculate links).
|
| I
am using Frontpage. Does this confict
with many of the offerings of your
site? |
Yes,
FP will conflict with all kinds of
things. If you want to use anything
with your site that is NON-FP, then it
is best not to use FP at all.
