Re: front page 2003 running on small business server 2003 r2 issue

Tom, Subsequent to the last post went back to Control PanelWindows
ComponentsApplication Services, a step which needs to be specified in
futureIIS WAS checkedFront Page 2002 also checked. We have been told they
exist in SBS2K3R2, so the next step is to attempt to set up a IIS Website in
IIS Manager, and then populate it with a Front Page [content] Web Site?

|

Websites

exactly

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 Panel?Add/Remove Programs?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.
