can't upload - extension problems

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I am using a website I formerly designed on a pc - the pc crashed and died -
we now own an imac and I am running parallels so I can continue using Front
Page and other windows software. The Parallels support people told me I can
run Front Pge on Parallels.

I can open my website - but cannot open it 'with the web' to upload - tried
to find the "Port" but cannot figure out how to do this.... whatever I have
done (by following "hep" links provided by microsoft has led to.... I think
it is because the extensions are not working - or added- or something???

I get "FrontPage Sever Administrator" pop up box when I open Parallels ---
It has a box that says "Select port number" There is nothing to select from
in the box and I cannot add anything to the box. Next to the box it lists the
following with no information next to the colon - "Server type: Server
configuration file:Content directory: Authoring: Version: Created

Under that there are a bunch of boxes - the only one that is highlighted for
use is "Install" next to it it says - Install FrontPage Server Extentions for
existing web server.

When I hit Install - A box pops up and asks me "To install the FrontPage
SEver extension you must have an exisiing Web server. Select the server type
and then click ok. I selected FrontPage Personal Web Server from the drop
down box - other options are: Netscape Commerce Server / Netscape
Communication Server /or Website.

I click ok and come to another box that says Server Configuration Please
enter the following information about your server configuration to finish the
installation process. Click OK when finished
Server Config: I hit the Browse button - found a folder called servsupp -
in it is an icon of a pc with the word servers next to it - I highlight it -
click open and it puts this link in the box

C:\Program Files\microsoft frontpage\servsupp\servers.cnf

I hit okay - then get this message from "Server Administrator"

Server config fileC:\Program Files\microsoft frontpage\servsupp\servers.cnf
has no Port or Server Root directive, please check that you have the correct
config file for your server

I hit okay and it brings me right back to the beginning.....

What am i doing wrong???
