When I try to publish my one-page web site to Inetpub\wwwroot (where IIS
says I'm supposed to Publish) I get an error message saying that the file
name is bad, the name contains a \, or the file is protected. I'm confused
about this and just what it is that I'm trying to achieve with my file
structure under Inetpub. I'm not sure what goes where. I'm planning to
eventually have two or more (sub?)-websites published on the same server
(one for personal use and anothers for business professional use).

I'm running Win2003 Server, with IIS, SQL Server, and all the Front Page
servers and extentions, plus doing Front Page development on the same
machine. I think that makes this a "disk" web site.

What is the best practice for publishing my sites?

Thanks
Jim

You'd actually Publish to http://localhost/yourwebnamehere
not to Inetpub.

Hi Rob.....I just had a very long post regarding this and I was unable to
publish using http://inetpub/wwwroot nor was I able to publish to
http://localhost/mywebname. I have no idea if the way I accomplished this is
right or not but the following is the procedure I used:
Once I had installed the download from Microsoft I was able to open the
Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Internet Informations Services. This
opened a page with the server on it and in the folder tree there is "default
web site". I right clicked on that and it opens a window with quite a few
choices, one of which is "new>virtual directory. This brings up a Wizard
which asks for an Alias Name and it also asks you to browse to the location
of the Front Page Web that has the content. Once you do all of that, it
creates a "subweb" on the IIS server.

To update any changes on that newly created sub-web, I open the web in Front
Page, make the changes and click on save. I do not do any publishing at all,
just save it. Then when I open my browser and enter
http://localhost/mywebname, it reflects the changes.

I am still confused on this issue. Lets suppose I were to creat a new one
page web in Front Page. How would I "publish" that web to the IIS Server? I
have tried doing this but it will not publish to http://localhost

You should open the site directly in FP at http://localhost before you start creating your web
content, then you don't have to publish to it.

You can create individual sites under localhost by creating a folder, then right click and select
convert to site.

I cannot open a site directly in front page at http://localhost. I get an
error message that it may be password protected to have / or\. in the name.
