| Yes you may ask.

| I looked at the option of installing a personal web server several years ago
| and felt it was too technically demanding for me to feel secure in
| installing and keeping maintained. I am a "white-knuckles" person on
| technical matters. Anything very technical freaks me out. I freeze up and
| cant think straight.
|
| I thought about having a professional install a personal webserver for me
| and keep it going. But I live in a small community, so talents in this area
| are not numerous, and this is a community project for which I do not get any
| personal payment, so funds are limited. There is revenue enough for me to
| afford the equipment, software, internet connection, and supplies that I
| would otherwise not be able to afford.
|
| It appeared to me that using my regular hard drive to author within
| FrontPage was working quite well and the only reason to install a personal
| web server was if one wanted to design and test more than just HTML, such as
| ASP, Data base stuff, PHP, etc.
|
| Once I realized that I could make a whole drive letter a FrontPage web so
| that I could emulate a server based navigation system on my hard drive that
| implemented links with a root based absolute reference that I learned about
| fiorst in MS DOS (Example: /Shopping/shop.htm to find the shop.htm document
| no matter what directory the HTML document was fetched from, or /index.htm
| to fetch the home page no matter what directory the HTML document was
| fetched from) and could be used in any subdirectory, I made drive G:/ my
| web. It has worked fine.
|
| The navigation system I used is a JavaScript program ( XFX DHTML MENU
| BUILDER) that I am able to test and debug on my local hard disk with drive
| G: being the root of my web.
|
| This process has been simple, and reliable. It requires NO technical skills
| other that just FrontPage skills.
|
| Until now.
|
| The failure of the FP 2002 web component insert content page led me to
| install the service packs for Office XP. I am sure you were trying to help
| me when you suggested that I do this and helped me understand that the
| process of installing a service pack is a simple process. Thank you for that
| help.
|
| However, something happened. It seems specific to FrontPage, since no other
| application is preventing me from accessing the root of any of my drives,
|
| I must correct something I said in one of my other posts. FrontPage does
| NOT keep me out of all the drive roots, just certain ones where there was
| previously a FrontPage web;
| D: FrontPage lets me open the root
| E: FrontPage lets me open the root
| F: FrontPage lets me open the root
| G: FrontPage Does NOT let me open the root [ Server error: There is no
| web named "/G"]
| H: FrontPage Does NOT let me open the root [ Server error: There is no
| web named "/H"]
| I: FrontPage Does NOT let me open the root [ Server error: There is no
| web named "/I"]
|
| Since this problem is isolated to FrontPage, I think the general Windows
| newsgroup people will point me right back to the FrontPage newsgroup for
| assistance. Right?
|
| I am between a rock and a hard place right now. I can author and test my
| subwebs and any other webs I have in other places, such as on C: drive. But,
| I cannot open, test and publish my G: root directory using FP. While I can
| change the JS navigation in XFX ok and test it with a browser, and I could
| use other HTML authoring software to author the root based HTML documents, I
| cannot publish it to the server without employing a cludge workaround . . .
| that is, moving the root stuff to a web just to allow me to publish it to
| the server root. Gazooks!
|
| I suspect that there is a setting somewhere that is controlling why
| FrontPage 2002 is reacting to my root web in that fashion, JUST SINCE I
| INSTALLED THE SERVICE PACKS.
|
| I have tried to delete everything in the REGISTRY ( Oh God I hate the
| technical look of the Registry). So, I dont think the settings are there in
| a FrontPage area. But, what is doing this?
|
| I looked for server settings in the Registry and didnt find anything that
| seemed to refer to drive /G
|
| CLUE: What is the syntax "/G". This is not a normal way to refer to drive
| G:/. I suspected a corruption of some software setting when I first saw
| that. But the uninstall and Registry celaning should have gotten rid of all
| that. But, I am suspscious that this"/G" syntax has some meaning .
|
| What does "/G" mean to you?
|
| What does the teminology of [ Server error: There is no web named "/G"]
| bring to your mind in terms of where have you seen wording like this
| before?
|
| Thank you for your mentoring, your suggestions, your insight!
