"No server on port" error

[Guest]

Using my FrontPage 98 CD, I have installed Personal Web Server on a Windows XP machine. After rebooting I still get the same error:

There is no server on port 80 at 'my computer name'

Is FrontPage 98 incompatible with Windows XP perhaps? If not, how can I fix this problem?

Thanks,

Dale F.

Win XP does not support PWS - uninstall it

Win XP Home does not support IIS or server based webs so you are painfully limited to disc based webs in FP 98 (time to upgrade to
FP 2000 - 2003, which are all easier to use disc based webs)

Win XP Pro supports IIS (control panel add remove programs windows components - add IIS), and you can install / apply the FP SE
under IIS

For the FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions Support Center see:
