Before publishing with FrontPage
you must install the FrontPage extensions. You
can do this yourself in your Control Panel.
Go to your Control Panel. Click
the "Install FrontPage" button and wait
10 minutes for the server to run the install scripts.
The next time you come into this page, it will
have two choices - Verify FrontPage Installation
(which simply checks that FrontPage is running
properly on your domain) and Remove FrontPage Extensions.
IMPORTANT:
When you install
the FP extensions, the password that it picks up
is your current Control Panel password. If you
change your Control Panel password after installing
the FrontPage extensions, it will NOT affect the
FrontPage password. Make sure your password is
set to what you want before installing your FrontPage
extensions!
When you click "Publish",
you will be prompted for the name of the server
to publish to. Enter either "yourdomain.com" or
your IP address. You will then be asked for the
username and password for your domain.
Troubleshooting FrontPage Publishing
If your page won't publish properly,
here is a checklist to see if you missed something
important. Review this before contacting support!
-
Are the FrontPage extensions
installed properly? Did you wait at least 10
minutes after clicking "Install FrontPage "?
If you are using the domain name to publish,
are you sure it is pointing to our servers? Has
the name been fully registered & propagated
yet? (If not, publish using the IP address).
-
Did you put anything in front
of the server name in the "Publish to:" box?
You should *not* use "ftp://" in front
of the address as the site will not publish correctly.
-
Did you name your first page
for your site with a valid file name? If not,
you will see the "Under Construction..." page
when accessing your site.
This does not mean
your site did not publish!
Rename your main
page to one of the acceptable file names (see
below). Remember, the names are case-sensitive!
ACCEPTABLE INDEX
FILE NAMES (in order of precedence):
default.htm
index.phtml
index.pht
index.cgi
index.shtml
index.htm
index.html
index.php
index.php3
