FrontPage extensions allow you
to use the publication feature and dynamic page elements
available in Microsoft's FrontPage software. You should only
install the server extensions if you intend to use Microsoft's
FrontPage software to create and upload your web site. If
you install FrontPage extensions you will not be able to
upload your files and manage your site using FTP.
Installing FrontPage Extensions
To install FrontPage extensions on your account click the 'Install FrontPage
Extensions' link on the FrontPage
Extensions page. You will be asked to confirm the action before FrontPage
extensions are actually installed on your account.
Reinstalling FrontPage Extensions
In the event that your FrontPage extensions become corrupted and you can no
longer use FrontPage to manage your site correctly, you can reinstall the
server extensions. Reinstalling the server extensions checks your site configuration
for errors and automatically repairs them. Click the 'Reinstall FrontPage
Extensions' link on the FrontPage Extensions page. You will be asked to confirm
the action before FrontPage extensions are actually reinstalled on your account.
Uninstalling FrontPage Extensions
If FrontPage extensions are no longer required on your account you can uninstall
them. Uninstalling the server extensions will restore access to your site
by FTP. Click the 'Uninstall FrontPage Extensions' link on the FrontPage
Extensions page. You will be asked to confirm the action before FrontPage
extensions are actually removed from your account.
Using FrontPage Extensions
To publish your site using Microsoft FrontPage you must first have FrontPage
extensions installed on your account, see above. Click the 'Publish Web'
option from the 'File' menu in your FrontPage software. Enter 'http://www.yoursite.co.uk'
when asked where you want to publish your site to and click 'Publish'. You
will be asked for your account username and password, after which your site
will be published to the server. Note that you can only publish your site
to an active domain name using FrontPage, you cannot publish your site using
FrontPage to the FTP server, to a temporary URL or to a domain name which
is not yet fully transferred to our network.
Notes On UNIX FrontPage Extensions
FrontPage 2000 extensions are installed on our UNIX servers, we are aware that
this is not the latest version of the server extensions, however the 2002
extensions are not compatible with our server operating system. Please note
therefore that some of the newer features included in the FrontPage XP client
software will not work and that due to the shared environment, the subwebs,
usage analysis and user management features are disabled. Note also that
you cannot use FrontPage extensions when you have password protected directories
on your account. You must remove password protection from all directories
before installing FrontPage extensions.
