Publishing with Microsoft Microsoft® FrontPage® 97

Important Things To Know (summary):

1. If you choose to use Microsoft® FrontPage® 97, the only way to upload your web site is with Microsoft® FrontPage® 97. you CANNOT FTP into your Microsoft® FrontPage® Directory. You can use FTP & TELNET to enter other areas of your site outside the Microsoft® FrontPage® Directory structure

2. Every time you create a "New Web" on our server, we will have to restart your web daemon. We have now updated our Web Configuration to automatically reboot every 15 minutes if you have "Created A New Web".

3. Microsoft® FrontPage® 97 is a good product, however its transfer protocol is temperamental. Therefore it is a good idea to have each of your directories created as their own web, and then "publish" it to your web.

4. When you "Publish" or "Copy" your first web to our server you should leave the box, "Name of Destination Microsoft® FrontPage® Web" blank, and this should place your web in the "root web" directory. (See Fig. 1)

5. If the "Web Publishing Wizard" appears when you hit the publish command, you are going in the wrong direction. Uninstall the Web Publishing Wizard;  it is for sites that do not have the Microsoft® FrontPage® Server Extensions installed.

6. Last thing to remember is "You Must Be Online To Publish You Web".
