Front Page - Permissions/installation?

[brisman]

I'm a newbie. I'm trying to publish a Front Page Web. My domain is propagated - I can type in the domain in my browser and get to it O.K. I can log in to my OPS O.K. When I try to publish Front Page, at first it was asking me for user and pw and I was entering it as I'd used in my OPS, but it said "author permission required". Now when I try to publish, it's saying Front Page Extensions not installed, even though my OPS says they are.

Fun and games.

Help.

I know nothing about Front Page, however, if you used the same user name/password for your FTP (publish) that you use for your Ops, it won't work. You should have 2 sets of username/passwords ... one set is ONLY for Ops and the other set is what you use for your Email and FTP access.


You may have to ask in the Front Page forums below about your problem with the extensions and how to resolve that.

Thanks for that. I only seem to have the one user and pass - the one that was sent in my account set-up. It works in my ops. I'll call technical support.

You should have the package FTP account and separate OPS account.

If you log into OPS then click the FTP tab, you should see your FTP account listed under "Master FTP Account".

Thanks for that. I set my ftp password. Now I've actually managed to ftp up my web site. I've put it in htdocs. This is where it should go right? I've renamed to powweb index.html before I transferred my index.html, but my site sill comes up with the powweb index.html. It's a front page web, so I was just trying to see if I could ftp it, and it succeeded. I don't know if it'll work, but I was just experimenting. In any case my index.html should come up, shouldn't it?

I have a real simple web. Only about 7 pages and 1 graphic.

I would welcome any input

Steve,

Yup, /htdocs is where it goes. Check to see that the file name for index.html is just that. No upper-case letters. That little gotcha hits about 95% of us :).

Capitalization is what kills me too. ;)

In addition check to make sure you have cleared ya cache and that you refreshed the page so that you are not viewing an old copy of the page.

Good luck!

Yeah. Front Page names files with .htm not .html. Can you believe that. I just changed all the names on Front page and it re-did all the links, which I must say is very nice. I then ftp'd it up again. Help says if you have front page you should not Ftp, but I seem to have gotten away with it. Do you think there will be any problems with that. Anyway I seem to be live.

Now I just have install counters.

Thanks very much.

You can FTP changed pages to the server as long as you haven't added any new FP web bots or changed/added/deleted anything from a navbar or shared border. :)
