Re: Multiple FP sites with same rootfolder

If you want to use host header, then you might be able to do so, as long as your create individual
folders/subwebs/subsites for each domain, and then point the host header to that folder. From within
FP you would always open the root web via the primary domain or IP Address.

FYI: Individual IP addresses would be the best approach.

Hi Thomas,

As we have alot off different sites (50-200) we need to use host headers, or
how do you mean that setup should look like? We cannot have a own ip for the
diffrent webs so in my experience the only way to do this is to use host
headers.

What should be and was in the beginning was that the difrrent sites had
multiple host headers on them. Now thats not possible anymore and the need to
make a new "website" pointed to the same root was the way to go each time a
new hostheader (dns-name) should answer for a old site.

Don't use host headers, as the FP extensions do not work well with them. Use DNS to point
multiple
domains to the same web or use ASP / ASP.net.

Hi,

I have a problem with a setup of Frontpage Server Extensions on a Windows
2003 webedition server.

The senario is as this:

First i create a web called a.com, a useraccount called acom and that is
pointing to H:\www\a.com\

I add the serverextension by commandline:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\50\bin\owsadm.exe" -o install -u acom -m a.com
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\50\bin\owsadm.exe" -o check -u acom -m a.com -web /

Now i connect to a.com with my frontpage and it works just fine.

Secondly i wish to add a new site, but with diffrent host headers, we call
it b.com and we point it towards H:\www\a.com\

and run the following:
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\50\bin\owsadm.exe" -o install -u acom -m b.com
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\50\bin\owsadm.exe" -o check -u acom -m b.com -web /

Both sites is now upp and running and is working great, frontpage functions
is working on both.

When i now connect to b.com with frontpage write in acom as the user, it
wont let me in. If i check access logs with event viewer i dont get any
access denied, when looking in filemon it wont give me any errors either. But
when i try to login with Administrator it lets me in. I have also tried to
add acom to the administrators group but it is not helping.

My idee is that somewhere i the FPSE stuff is hardcoded to just use the
first site created. I have aswell tried to use the GUI but nothing is
happening there either.

Have anyone got a solution for this?
