Let me start off by mentioning that I am a pretty decent network SBS
person, but am completely absent minded in the world of IIS. I do have
decent experience with Frontpage and publishing to third party WWW
sites. I have a newly integrated Small Business Server 2003 and I'm
trying to publish a website via FrontPage. the problem is occuring at
the client's office and in my test lab, which raises the administrator
error flag pretty high. Here are my thoughts and processes for
attempting to publish a frontpage website.

1. Creating a directory on the server.
2. Opening IIS and creating a new website using server ip address,
port 80, and a host header titled intranet
3. Specifying the path the the directory I created in step 1.
4. Setting access permissions..read, write, etc.
5. Right clicking on my new website in IIS and configuring FP 2002
frontpage extensions
6. Opening up Frontpage 2003 and attempting to publish website
7. Receive error that url cannot be found.

I know that I'm missing a step somewhere, but for the life of me I
can't determine what it is, and I'm running the risk of messing up the
default sharepoint websites that come with SBS by taking pot shots at
it.

Does anyone have any clues or suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
