Dilemma - Need Assistance!

[bnoble]

Have a website: www.ebenefit.us that was created in MS FrontPage 2003. I also have a subdomain called: www.bridgehouseevents.ebenefit.us via .htaccess file configuration.

I do not currently have FP Extensions installed because in order to have an .htaccess file configured my way, I can't "publish" the site from FP because FP writes its own .htaccess file in which overwrites my configured .htaccess file.

Here's the dilemma - I need to create a proxy bid form for my subdomain (www.bridgehouseevents.ebenefit.us) which will capture credit card information/name/etc. for an upcoming charitable event. In order to create ANY form in FP and have it work, it has to be "published" from FP which means I have to have FP Extensions installed which means my .htaccess file will get overwritten and folks won't be able to see my subdomain.

Besides not using FP to design websites, does anyone have any advice as to how to solve this problem?

P.S. I'm more of a designer than a coder so please excuse me if necessary.

Regards, B.

So the issue is the .htaccess getting in the way, right?

You can also set up a subdomain without .htaccess. Create a folder with the name of the subdomain at the same level as hotdocs. In that new folder, create a folder called htdocs.

So it'll look like:
root
---htdocs
---subdomain
------htdocs

Put all your stuff in the sudomain/htdocs, and you are done.

I set up a folder in my root: bridgehouseevents. In the bridgehouse events folder I created another htdocs folder.

How do I "publish" via FP to the bridgehouseevents folder as it is not viewable when I try to publish via FP.

I can't FTP the files to the folder because I'll lose my FP Extension functionality.

Thanks for your patience!

Sorry, I'm not familiar with front page at all. You might want to ask in the front page section as well.
