Front page publishing

G

Guest

I have created a site using fp 2003 and signed up with a hosting service. The
service says that fp extensions are avail able at an extra cost and also
gives me the option of having ASP at no cost or ASP.NET at additional cost.
Do I need all of these to publish a site using fp 2003?

Thanks very much, but we have already signed up for a hosting service that
said it supported front page, it wasn't untill we actually got all the
details that we found that front page extensions are an additional cost. I
tried to pulish fron fp using ftp but the machine just sat there and appeared
to do nothing and wondered if we subscribe to front page extensions (http
???) all would be ok. The web site is not anything fancy just a page of
photo gallery and a few pages of details of our group with hyperlinks to
location maps etc.

It is quite possible that your site is not using the FrontPage
extensions....many sites do not need them. Also, have you tried publishing
using the interface that comes with FP and not FTP. I find it much easier.

How would I know if my site is using front page extensions and by interface
did you mean the publish option on the file menu? I am sorry I sound a bit
thick but I am new to this web site game.

Publishing via http:// method will NOT work unless you have FP extensions
installed and working on the server.

You can use FPs FTP method (or a third party ftp program) but some FP
features will not work without the extensions, and others will work but you
have to remember to upload the hidden folders too. IMO, it's much easier to
have the extensions...you can even edit the site live on the server with the
extensions installed.

You can tell if you have the extensions installed by typing in
http://www.yourweb.com/_vti_inf.html if it returns a page regarding FP
extensions then you have them...but this doesn't tell you if they are
actually working. If you have them installed and then use FTP then there's a
real good chance you have broken the extensions (a common error) and need to
have them fixed.

hth.
