Moving to new webserver

[Guest]

Hello,

Can someone poiont me in the right direction of how to move our website from
one server to another?
I have gone into FP2003, opened the site http://www.mysite.org, but when I
go to publish the site to the new webserver, I can't use
http://www.mysite.org. I get the error that the local and remote sites can
not be the same location.
TIA,
Eric

Publish from the old server to your machine.
Publish from your machine to the new server.

However, if your new server location has not been propagated throughout the Domain Name
Server ( DNS ) system,
FrontPage will automatically publish to the old server if you publish to
http://www.mysite.org because that's where the DNS system will tell it your site lives.

Ask your new host if there's a method to publish to the IP address for the new server, so
you can publish "before" the DNS change takes effect.

Open the local site, then go to File > Publish and enter the new URL to
publish to, and the logon details for that site/server.

Easy!
