IIS and FP2000 Extensions

Me Again,

I've totally failed at getting IIS to open in FP. Is
there anywhere I can get step-by-step instructions for
installing IIS/config FP2000Ext's/and getting my existing
web to open. Using WinXPPro I find that the FP2000 Ext's
automatically install themselves in IIS-can I forget
configuring the extensions? Is there anything else I need
to install prior to starting the IIS install?

I'm soooo frustrated that there is no definitive
documentation for this process. My client is getting
impatient with this. Would it be easier to upgrade to
FP2002?

Thanks again,
mcgdogm
 
Under IIS MMC, select the web site, then right click property and look at
the settings. I don't have access to my Windows Pro machine at the moment to
give detailed steps. You could also seek help in the Windows newsgroup, as
well.

On Win XP Pro this is normally all it takes. On server
operating systems, you also have to add the extensions on
each virtual server where you want them.

Upgrading to the FP2002 extensions is a good thing to do
anyway, but the FP2000 extensions should work for most
kinds of Web pages.

Do you have Frontpage, IIS, and the FP extensions all
installed on the same Win XP Pro machine? (This is the
normal configuration.) If so, what happens when you start
FrontPage, choose Open Web from the File menu, and
specify an address of http://127.0.0.0?

I understand the hierarchy and here's the problem right
now.
Hierarchy???

What
have I done wrong and how do I fix it?

Hard to say for sure, but I noticed several things: Copying and pasting
folders and files into IIS web directories is not something you should do
unless you have a thorough understanding of how IIS works. You have to do
all of your web configuration by hand. It is much better to use FrontPage to
publish your web to the server. For example, in FrontPage, you could use
File|New Web... and then select the (http) destination for the web and use
the Import Web Wizard to import the folders and files to the server and set
up the server extensions and other web site configurations correctly.

Secondly, it looks like you're using non-standard paths for your web
folders. My understanding is that using virtual directories (which if I'm
not mistaken, it sounds like you've set up) are problematic with FrontPage.
Is there some reason why you didn't use the inetpub/wwwroot directories?

Problem, I have 2 folders now. FrontPage Webs and
Inetpub. How do I import the web to Inetpub? FrontPge
is now attached to the new server and doesn't recognize
the old folder and content.
Thanks

That would work if I could open the web in FrontPage to
publish it to the "localhost". IIS has attached itself
to Intepub/FrontPage, I cannot access the existing web
through it. The sever times out when I try to import the
existing web.
Also, I can open & close FrontPage only once. After that,
I get the error message that I don't have 32-bit TCP/IP
networking installed. I'm running Windows XP Pro on a
new Dell Dimension 8300(only 3 months old). Why doesn't
FrontPage recognize the TCP/IP installtion already there?

I was told to uninstall FP, install IIS and re-install
FP. Should I have just left FP installed and then
installed IIS over it?
