Re: front page 2003 running on small business server 2003 r2 issueFrontPage will create sub webs in an existing web site that has FP extensions installed. It will create disc based webs on a hard disc, where there is NO web server. It cannot create a brand new, server based web site. A new web site requires a new IP address or Host Header, DNS, a folder on the disc drive ... FrontPage might be able to produce the folder, but cannot update DNS or supply Host-Headers or IP addresses. As Thomas said, the FP extensions for Windows 2003 are on the Windows CD. Template sites are just templates - design guides. They contain some of the files necessary to go IN a web site, they are not complete web sites. Apart from the database wizards, they do NOT include form handlers - these depend on the server, FP extensions is an example of a form handler. The database wizards do not require FrontPage extensions on the server. The last version of FrontPage that included the extensions was FP 2000. This included FP2000 extensions, which if installed would break Windows 2003 (probably requiring reformat and re-install to repair). -- Show quoteRon Symonds - Microsoft MVP (FrontPage) Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread. http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp FrontPage Support: http://www.frontpagemvps.com/ "sangsara enterprises ltd." <sangsaraenterprises***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:056E2DB5-815C-46EC-B7BA-E519CA72D889@microsoft.com: > Ronx, now you have me somewhat confused. it is my understanding front page > 2003, when used to create a web site, does the whole job. meaning - when one > publishes the site from the hard drive where it is originally saved [for > control purposes] to a web server the site is created on the web server by > front page itself. the only difference in my circumstance is the fact iis > 6.0 is my web server and resident on the same computer as the one used to > create the site. in fact to avoid chances of comitting 'operator error' the > test sites used by me are ms template sites, so should be complete with all > the necessary service files. furthermore, it is also my [perhaps misguided] > belief when installing front page as a full install with aoo the options the > server extensions are included by default. are you suggesting running the > windows business server program to reinstall server extensions? just do not > want to get more muddle in the mix than need be. > > peter fischer > > > "Ronx" wrote: > > > I have only a passing acquaintance with SBS, but IIS does not need much > > configuring, except for individual web sites. > > The company web site and other web sites can be dealt with in parallel. > > The Company Web Site uses SharePoint Services, not the FrontPage > > extensions; it is unlikely (though possible) that other sites will use > > WSS, but may use FrontPage extensions instead. > > > > Install FrontPage extensions from the Windows 2003 CD. > > Create your websites from IIS MMC and extend them if you need > > extensions. > > -- > > Ron Symonds - Microsoft MVP (FrontPage) > > Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread. > > > > http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp > > > > FrontPage Support: http://www.frontpagemvps.com/ > > > > > > > > > > "sangsara enterprises ltd." > > <sangsaraenterprises***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > > news:9F4DBC03-C71B-4EF1-89FF-D7A13C036FCE@microsoft.com: > > > > > thanks for your reply Ronx. from your questions it would seem i've gone > > > about this whole exercise incorrectly. is it possible you could work with > > > me, provide me step-wise directions so i can achieve each plateau in an > > > orderly fashion. this may allow me to achieve the outcome, if the interim > > > steps are implemented properly- obviously something all wrong in my > > > blundering so far. > > > is it on target to assume you have familiarity with the the small business > > > server operating system as well? am doing other work debugging iis in > > > parallel efforts on my part. seems appropriate. am doing so within another > > > thread. > > > it would seem first i must correctly configure iis within sbs, discouver > > > what's going on right now. next:add server extensions and then go about > > > actually implementing the 'company web' itself before trying to add the other > > > web sites. > > > otherwise there'd be too many loose variables on the table. or is my take > > > incorrect? > > > -- > > > peter fischer > > > > > > > > > "Ronx" wrote: > > > > > > > Have you created a website in IIS for the new sites?

attempt a feasible action plan. Double teaming two Ron(s) added an extra bit of muddle, as did the information interchange timings, but was able to achieve a satisfactorily informative outcome using the old wasteful hard copy paper/cut and paste methodology. What I get is: Ron Symmonds advises first installing Server Extensions to be found on my Windows OS CD. Then there is the creation of new IIS Websites preliminary to publishing Front Page content websites to these receptacles. To clarify what is on this box: Small Business Server 2003 Standard R2 OS - to which I have an effectively upgraded to Premium Edition as already in possession of Front Page 2003 and SQL Server 2005 [with SP2]. Where exactly are these extensions? Disk One gives me the option to install the OS but no partial option is apparent; and the Technologies CD also provides no such option. BTW thank you for your efforts to clarify other technical relationships between the IIS server function and Front Page interface as well as the real relevance of using template web sites. Question: How and where do I go to install the Extensions from where among my OS CDs? RonX [also referred to as Thomas? by Ron Symmonds] have tried to go through Control Panelïƒ Add/Remove Programsïƒ Windows Components. There is no ‘option’ choice presented under IIS here, IIS itself is not displayed as a separate component among the 15 shown. Does it form part of another component, and if so which one and what’s the protocol involved to get the job done? Guys, appreciate your help to get the foundations in place properly before attempting the next step of setting up the IIS Server enabled web site together. This is stage one. Only after these developmental aspects are under control can my attention advance to shift on to Sharepoint Services. It is imperative these technical aspects get in place so my actual operational projects can finally get started. -- Show quotepeter fischer "Ronx" wrote: > You are mistaken. > > FrontPage will create sub webs in an existing web site that has FP > extensions installed.

FrontPage extensions are found by: Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs Click Add/Remove Windows Components Click Application Server Click Details button Click Internet Information Service (IIS) Click Details Tick FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions Click OK, Click OK, Click Next You will need disc one for the Operating System. Next step is to create a new website or two. This will require that the server is bound to multiple IP addresses - one extra IP address for each new website. To set this up you need Control Panel->Network Connections-Local NetWork->Properties Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties Advanced Add Fill in the form Click OKs to clear the dialogues and restart the computer. Create folders for the websites. Use IIS MMC to create the websites. Extend the websites using Control Panel->Administrative Tools->SharePoint Administration Manager Some advice for this is at http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp/b/smtp - this is not the complete handbook, but may get you going. Do not confuse the above with SharePoint Central Administration, which is for SharePoint sites. -- Show quoteRon Symonds - Microsoft MVP (FrontPage) Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread. http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp FrontPage Support: http://www.frontpagemvps.com/ "sangsara enterprises ltd." <sangsaraenterprises***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:15CB3670-F734-4F9C-9A7D-199858FCADE8@microsoft.com: > It took some time to assemble an accurate overview of our exchanges so as to > attempt a feasible action plan.

installed. still unchecked and recheck the box twice and ran the configuration wizard to completion each time. also went to the web site you sent me to read it, but am not able to apply it as extensions are already there and my issue is different. next step: control panel-network connections had a red x over local network as system employs a wireless router. however still selected it-properties-selected internet protocol (tcp/ip)-advanced-add-presented with gateway address dialog box. ?what is to be entered in the gateway box? it would seem it calls for an numeric address, judging by the spaced dots. where does this address come from, or within what range if it is an arbitrary numeric address notation? very wary of fiddling with something unless the ramifications are clear. -- Show quotepeter fischer "Ronx" wrote: > Ron Symonds (one "m") and Ronx are the same person. :) > > FrontPage extensions are found by: > Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs > Click Add/Remove Windows Components > Click Application Server > Click Details button > Click Internet Information Service (IIS) > Click Details > Tick FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions > Click OK, Click OK, Click Next > > You will need disc one for the Operating System. > > Next step is to create a new website or two.

using DHCP to obtain an IP address - this is not a good idea for a web server. The server should be wired to the router, and have a fixed IP address. If the server is not wired then the local lan will do nothing for you. Click on the Wireless connection you are using in Network connections, then Properties, and continue as in the previous post. If no default gateway is shown, then you are using DHCP and you will need a networking expert to continue. The default gateway is usually the IP address of the router. The site I gave you requires that the extensions are installed - it would be useless unless they were installed. -- Show quoteRon Symonds - Microsoft MVP (FrontPage) Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread. http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp FrontPage Support: http://www.frontpagemvps.com/ "sangsara enterprises ltd." <sangsaraenterprises***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1DE342E9-8B3F-4B6C-85A3-4B43200149BC@microsoft.com: > Ron, went through step one to discover extensions already checked as > installed. still unchecked and recheck the box twice and ran the > configuration wizard to completion each time. also went to the web site you > sent me to read it, but am not able to apply it as extensions are already > there and my issue is different. next step: control panel-network > connections had a red x over local network as system employs a wireless > router. however still selected it-properties-selected internet protocol > (tcp/ip)-advanced-add-presented with gateway address dialog box. ?what is to > be entered in the gateway box? it would seem it calls for an numeric > address, judging by the spaced dots. where does this address come from, or > within what range if it is an arbitrary numeric address notation? very wary > of fiddling with something unless the ramifications are clear. > -- > peter fischer > > > "Ronx" wrote: > > > Ron Symonds (one "m") and Ronx are the same person. :) > > > > FrontPage extensions are found by: > > Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs > > Click Add/Remove Windows Components > > Click Application Server > > Click Details button > > Click Internet Information Service (IIS) > > Click Details > > Tick FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions > > Click OK, Click OK, Click Next > > > > You will need disc one for the Operating System. > > > > Next step is to create a new website or two.
