Using localhost server with FrontPage

L

LHert

I need to test search pages and feed back pages from
within FrontPage 2003. I have installed IIS 6.0 and
FrontPage server extentions. However, I cannot get the
localhost server running under tools site server in
FrontPage. I keep getting the error:

"You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page
that requires a web server and the FrontPage Server
Extensions to function properly.

This form or other FrontPage component will work
correctly if you publish this web to a web server that
has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed."

How do I publish to the localhost? Also, localhost does
not work with ASP.Net and all the required software is
correctly loaded in the proper order.

If you've properly installed IIS and FPSE, you should be
able to open your disk-based Web (or server-based Web
located elsewhere) and publish it to http://localhost or
http://localhost/mysubweb or whatever. Thereafter, open
the http://localhost location for editing in FrontPage
and for testing in the browser.

As to localhost not working with ASP.NET, have you
installed the .NET Framework? If so, what's not working?
(i.e. What did you try? What did you expect? What did you
get?)

It is my belief that I properly installed the MS.Net
framework sdk,MS.Studio.Net, IIS,FPSE,and MS Office 2003
in the proper order, but I may have made a mistake in the
order of installation.

Yet, I feel that this is a Visual Studio.Net Setup issue.
I probably made a mistake while setting up the software.
I guses that I will have to remove and re-install Visual
Studio.Net and also MS Office depending upon the order
of proper installation.

These are the things that I have checked:
1.IIS (local computer) Local: Yes Version: IIS V5.1
2.Default Web Site State:Running, IP Address *All
Unassigned*, Port 80.
3.I can browse the
url://localhost/iishelp/iis/misc/default.asp located in
the default web site.
4.The fpmmc-[Console Root\FrontPage Server
Extensions\MyComputer\/LM/W3SVC/1:] are set to enable
authoring. Also, I can browse from the console by
browsing http://mycomputer/localstart.asp. The
information on that page tells me to add documents to the
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\directory.

I placed the WebCalculator tutorial from MS Visual
Basic.Net
Set by Step files in that directory and set the
extensions, but to no avail.
5. Because I may have made an installation error, I
repaired the .Net Framework using dotnetfx.exe.

The WebCalculator application tutorial is properly
located in a virtual directory beneath the default web
site directory, but I cannot get the WebCalulator project
to open in Visual Basic.net.

Thanks for your help with these problems. I will check
the FrontPage books that you note above.
Thanks

You may have installed the server extensions on the server, but not on the
root web site. That must be done for each web site that you want to
configure FrontPage server extensions to run on.

I opened a disk based web site containing FrontPage Run-
Time Component Page. I tested the page to see if the page
would work. I got this message:

'FrontPage Run-Time Component Page
You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page
that requires a web server and the FrontPage Server
Extensions to function properly.

This form or other FrontPage component will work
correctly if you publish this web to a web server that
has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed.'

Is it possible to test these pages in a localhost
environment? I know that this was possible with IIS40.

I can now use localhost with FrontPage to open or publish
to http:/localhost. However, when I try to publish to
localhost, FrontPage tells me that I have to publish to a
server with FrontPage Server extensions. Under Menu,
Tools, Site Settings, General, I have the following
settings; FrontPage Server Extensions version:
6.0.2.5516. Under Server version: No server currently in
use. So, I am assuming that FrontPage does not recognize
localhost as a server with FrontPage Extensions. Is that
assumption correct?

Miscelleaneous Info:
IIS6.0 is installed and running with the FrontPage Server
Extensions configured. Overnight, I re-installed .Net
Framework 1.1 and the SDK. Also, I ran Aspner_regiis.exe
to make sure that Asp.Net is working. I still cannot
develop Asp.Net applications in Visual Basic.Net.

This is because you've opened a disk-based Web, and browsed a disk
location.

You have to open a server-based Web (by using an http:// address) and
then browse the http:// address.

environment? I know that this was possible with IIS40.

Yes, but you have to browse them from the local host, and not directly
from the file system.
I can now use localhost with FrontPage to open or publish
to http:/localhost.
Yeah...

However, when I try to publish to localhost, FrontPage tells
me that I have to publish to a server with FrontPage Server
extensions.

This seems contradictory.
Under Menu, Tools, Site Settings, General, I have the
following settings; FrontPage Server Extensions version:
6.0.2.5516. Under Server version: No server currently in
use. So, I am assuming that FrontPage does not recognize
localhost as a server with FrontPage Extensions. Is that
assumption correct?

No, this is because you opened a disk location.

If you open the web at http://localhost, Server Version should
report IIS.
Miscelleaneous Info:
IIS6.0 is installed and running with the FrontPage Server
Extensions configured. Overnight, I re-installed .Net
Framework 1.1 and the SDK. Also, I ran Aspner_regiis.exe
to make sure that Asp.Net is working. I still cannot
develop Asp.Net applications in Visual Basic.Net.

There are about 74,912,378 possible reason for this. What,
specifically, is stopping you? What have you trying? How far
do you get? What's the message?
