Q: What do I need to do in order to enable FrontPage server extensions? A: Please contact and notify us that you would like FrontPage enabled on your account at 1-866-355-8897 or email admin@IFSIS.com. Q: How do I publish my web site using FrontPage? A: It is advisable to create your web site (or, Web as it is called in FrontPage) locally on your computer. To do this use "localhost" for the Web Server Name. The header of your page should then be http://localhost/webname. Make sure to name your home page default.htm. When you are done creating your new Web, open Explorer, select File/Copy Web menu, and put in your location www.yourdomain.xxx For the web name, select "Root Web". Select Add to an Existing Web, as your "Root Web" was already created, when you setup the virtual server. Enter your UserID and Password when prompted. This is necessary for protecting your server from unauthorized editing. After that your entire Web will be copied to the virtual server into your www root directory. Q: Can I use FrontPage and FTP to upload files to the same directory? A: The FrontPage Publish command uses HTTP to communicate with the Web server. This command will not transfer the local FrontPage Server Extension files to the target server. When using an FTP application, it is important to transfer only the content files from the originating web server. Do not FTP any _vti _* directories or files containing FrontPage active elements, forms, etc. If these directories or files are transferred, they will overwrite the existing files on the target server, which will lead to incorrect functioning of FrontPage extensions. If you do this, you need to re-upload your entire web using FrontPage, or repair the extensions on your virtual server - please contact admin@IFSIS.com . There is a "rule of thumb" for working with FrontPage webs - if you created a sub-web or folder using FrontPage, delete it using FrontPage commands - either Delete FrontPage Web, or Delete Folder. Never use FTP to delete content published with FrontPage. Q: Why can't I delete a directory that the FTP server shows as being empty? A: This happens because you have hidden directories under the directory you are trying to delete. FrontPage Server extensions create the next tree of system or hidden directories under each web or sub-web root: /_vti_bin /_vti_cnf /_vti_log /_vti_pvt /_vti_txt /images/_vti_cnf /_fpclass/_vti_cnf /_private/_vti_cnf /_vti_bin/_vti_adm /_vti_bin/_vti_aut /_vti_pvt/_vti_cnf Plus, there is a hidden _vti_cnf directory in every content folder. When you remove a sub-web using FrontPage client, not all the files can be deleted right away because some Front Page ISAPI DLLs are loaded by the web server into memory. These directories will be eventually deleted by the system when IIS releases the lock. If you deleted several FrontPage folders using FTP and your FrontPage web is not accessible please contact admin@IFSIS.com and ask to have your FrontPage extensions repaired.
