Re: Hey Ronx are you available

I've had my coffee - and a good nights sleep.

If your website is located in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ then you should open it
as http://localhost

If the error message says "no valid host" (what is the EXACT error?) then
the FrontPage extensions are either corrupt or non-existent. If the site
has always been edited as a disc-based web the the extensions need to be
re-installed - the contents of the _vti* folders are different for servers
than for disc based webs.

When the extensions are sorted ALWAYS open the web as http://localhost -
NEVER as c:\inetpub\wwwroot

With the files physically located in the folders associated with the web
server you cannot publish to the web server - there is no need to do so if
you open the site as http://localhost.

no matter what I try it will not let me publish or open the site here is
what I tried

http://localhost no valid host

http://www.tomtest.com brings login window try username and password
loops the login window over and over security issue?

I have no name of a site everything is in the Default Web Site
c:\inetpub\wwwroot

I need to publish to the wwwroot folder/directory

I added my userid to the permissions on the inetpub folder with full
control no luck


I even copied the entire wwwroot folder to my F Drive and opened the site
from there and tried to publish to www.tomtest.com no luck


I am doing something simply wrong here this should not be that difficult.

Like I said before I can publish to my Windows 2003 Server running IIS6
no problem

Ironic all this to get the hit counter to work

Thanks for your help

I hope we can figure this out

Thanks again

Tom

Welp, if you're working with a local server (on your machine) you'd open
your site by; http://localhost/fred (could be; fred, barney, wilma, or
dino...doesn't matter what you call it...NO extension) then you'd
publish it to your online server http://www.tomtest.com

however, I'm not sure what your work flow is; if you're running your own
online server it may be different...dunno I've not done that.

No problem

Yes my IIS is running and it is 5.1 on my Windows XP Pro machine

My users can get to my site on my network via http://www.tomtest.com

This is the default site and Ihave default.htm and the default page all
working except for the hit counter on the default page.

So if I use Frontpage or Sharepoint option I should use
http://localhost/?????? what do I put for the default web site?


Sorry if I do not understand this I never published in Frontpage before
was just doing web design for my self and now others want to see my
site


default.htm is in the root web site using port 80

folder list path is c:\inetpub\wwwroot

What can I be doing wrong here

Do you have any way to remote connect to a machine?

If you have some time you can connect to mine

Thanks

Tom

Rob

my problem is I can not publish to the local site

In my folder list I have c:\inetpub\wwwroot

When I goto Remote Web Site Properties and choose
file system and type in remote web site location
c:\inetpub\wwwroot
I get This message
The local and remote webs cannot be at the same location. Please
enter a unique location

If I use c:\localhost\wwwroot
I get this message
A web site does not exist at c:\localhost\wwwroot Would you like
frontpage to create a web site at that location yes or no

So I gues the big question of the day is how do I publish to my local
site?

Do I use frontpage or Sharepoint services or file system

But I thought that in order for FPSE to work you must use Frontpage
or Sharepoint services method http://


Need your help

Thanks

Tom

My url in IE7 to the default web site is www.tomtest.com

Ron went for coffee :-)

Yes, you have to publish with FPSE enabled.

you would be publishing to something like c:\localhost\nameofweb

I made a post FP Counter not incrementing
Wondering if you had time to take a look

I read somewhere that FP features will only work if the site is
published. Is this correct?
If so I have this setup

Windows XP PRO SP3
IIS 5.1
Frontpage 2003 SP3

The site I am trying to get the hit counter to work is on my pc.

I start FP then open my site wwwroot

When I try to publish to this site using Frontpage or Sharepoint
services it will not let me access the site. Keeps asking for
userid and password.

I use the same userid and password when I publish to my Windows
2003 server site.

FrontPage Server Extensions 2003 are installed. I know they are
becasue I was getting a RED X on my Hit Counter before I installed
FPSE 2002

Maybe permissions on the folders?

I have been puting IUSR_server1 id with read/write access on all
the folders that are under _priviate

Any thing else I can do. This is the last thing I need working for
this site.

Thanks in advance

Tom
