MS
Frontpage
1.
How come ONLY my index page is not loading when I publish
my site? - Top
-
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." =)

How do I BACKUP my website using FrontPage ? - Top
-
Easy
:)
Open your web in FrontPage, as if you were going to
edit it.
Next, in your folder list:
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.
Next, go to "File"
Choose "Publish Web"
CLICK "Browse"
Now, select your desktop. We suggest you create a folder
on your desktop called "BackUp".
Now, select the backup folder, and click "Open"
Lastly, Click "Publish"
Thats 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 :)

You
probably have two index files... pull up your web files
and check for TWO index pages... one probably index.htm
and another index.html
delete the one YOU DID NOT JUST CREATE, this will solve
the problem :)
If this does not solve problem open support ticket.

7. Formmail gives FrontPage extension error - Top
-
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.
FP 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 FP
support.

Troubleshooting Common Problems with FP98 - Top
-
The
following are common problems and solutions encountered
with using FrontPage and FrontPage98. If you are having
a problem not listed here, please feel free to contact
support for help.
Getting error - "Root Web Busy"
FTP or Telnet to your site and remove the "service.lck"
file in /www/_vti_pvt. This usually happens when a FrontPage
session is interrupted before completion.
Server timing out when publishing large sites.
This difficulty arises when the uploading link times
out in the process of copying the web to our server.
The only suggestion Microsoft has offered so far is
to break the main web into a group of sub webs on
your PC, then upload these individually. If this problem
persists for you, please contact support.
Getting Error - "Front Page Extensions not Installed"
We often see this error being reported even when the
extensions have been installed. If you get this error,
please contact support and we'll make sure the extensions
are installed and repair them if necessary.
NOTE: The extensions are easily corrupted. Please use
only FrontPage Explorer to update your web site on the
server. Never use FTP.
I published but my web's not there!
This will happen when the "Destination Web Name" is
filled in when publishing to our server. This box should
be left blank. If you put any other name in this box
it will create a subdirectory off of your root web and
copy all of your files into it. Your site will exist
under a subdirectory instead of at the top level /www
where it should be.
My counter, bbs, guestbook, etc isn't working.
These problems are generally due to incorrect permissions
on either the directory, file(s) or cgi script(s) that
are associated with them. Please don't change the permissions
of your files or directories unless you have a specific
reason for doing so and you know what effect it will
have on your site.
My forms won't work through the Secure Server.
The call to a cgi script using the Secure Server must
not be within a webbot. Use a normal cgi call in your
html script for Secure Server calls.
My search bot doesn't return any results.
The /www directory must be world readable AND you need
to recalculate links BEFORE publishing (or after editing
directly on the server). If it still doesn't work: FTP
to the server and go to the /www/_vti_txt/default.wti
directory. Delete any files that begin with "ALL.".
Don't delete any other files. Then using Windows Explorer,
do the same thing on your PC. Recalculate links, test
locally with your browser and publish.
FP starts the Web Publishing Wizard when I try to publish.
Cancel the operation and contact support to have the
FP extensions installed/repaired.
Why is my page renamed on the server when I publish?
The "Default Document" of your web is automatically
renamed by the server to what is required by the configuration
of the server. For example, if you've named the main
page "index.html", it may be renamed
"default.html". Just check the links to your main page
to make sure they refer to it the same way.
NOTE: If you are using FrontPage, you should NEVER use
regular FTP to upload your files. This will damage the
extensions. Stick with one or the other all the time.

Publishing Your FrontPage Web - Top
-
After
you have built your web pages on your computer, you
will be ready to publish them. Basically, this just
means that you will 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. Warning:
FrontPage Account holders should never use FTP to transfer
files as it can damage the FrontPage extensions.
1. Launch FrontPage Explorer and open the web you’ve
created on your computer.
2. From the menu at the top of the window, select File,
then Publish
3. A) 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 to. (www.yourdomain.com)
Hit Return (Enter) on your keyboard.
B) If you have published to the server before, your
"Destination Web Server" (www.yourdomain.com) will appear
in the Publish window.
IMPORTANT: Use www.yourdomain.com as the Destination
Web Server to publish to our server. Leave the "Destination
Web Name" blank.
4. You will be asked for your USERNAME and PASSWORD.
This is your domain's User ID and your FrontPage Password
(which may be different than your regular Telnet/FTP/POP
password). If you're not sure what it is or if you aren't
allowed past this point, you'll need to contact us for
a new FrontPage password.
5. You can watch the progression of the upload by looking
at the bottom left corner of FrontPage Explorer.

Open Your Published Web - Top
-
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 FrontPage 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.)

12. I am using Frontpage. Does this confict with many
of the offerings of your site? - Top
-
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 :)
