Win2000 server

[melissa]

Hi,
in the company where I'm working, we have Intranet site I made with FP2000.
I copied (not publish just copy. I made it at home as sbs 4.5 in the company
only had FP98) the folder "intranet" containing the web inside the
inetpub/wwwroot folder in Win NT os, so everyone in our lan may reach the
intranet site with the browser to the address http://servername/intranet
(which open the default.htm page).
Two days ago we have changed server and now we have windows 2000 server os
(and small business server 2000 sp1).
I have pasted the same intranet folder inside inetpub/wwwroot as before but
now the intranet is no more available.
From browser when I point to the address I don't see the intranet site but
just the help of sbs2000...
How do I reach the site now? Must I publish by FP2000 contained in sbs2000
and where?
Thanks and bye
Melissa

Typically, you would:

1. In Control Panel, Network, add a second IP address
to the server.
2. In IIS Manager, Create a new virtual server
responding to that address.
3. Extend the new virtual server with the FrontPage
Server Extensions.
3. Publish your content into the new virtual server.
4. Set up a new DNS alias (i.e. a CNAME) pointing to the
new virtual server.

This keeps the default virtual server free for content
provided as part of IIS (such as the IIS helps). It's also
more secure, because the default virtual server is the one
with the most widely-known configuration, and therefore
the easiest one to hack.
