To
configure FrontPage, you first have to make sure the extenstions are
installed in your control panel. Once you have done that, you need to
configure FrontPage to respond to your account.
a)
Installing FrontPage Extensions (if you haven't done
so already):
This
is as simple as a point and click and you
will only need to do this ONCE. Simply login to your web
based control panel. You will need to have your ACTIVATION
EMAIL handy as how to access your control panel. Once you're
in your control panel, you will see a bunch of icons. Click on the
icon that says: FRONTPAGE EXTENSIONS.
You will be taken to a page with a button saying "(Re)Install
Extentions". Please take note of the warning on that page! Simply
click on the button "(Re)Install Extensions," give the server
a few moments, and those extensions will be installed! That's it!
b)
Configuring FrontPage to work with your account:
You
will only need to do this once. Simply configure the pages you would
like to configure and when you are finished, go to the "File"
Menu (on the top left in your FrontPage program) and select "Publish
Web...". This will take you to a window where it will ask "Specify
the location to publish your web to:". In this area you will
need to type in the following:
ftp://111.111.111/public_html
replace 111.111.111 with the IP of yourserver:
this is found in your Activation Email
OR
if your domain has already been updated
by DNS servers, you may enter:
http://www.yourdomain.com
replace 'yourdomain.com' with your own domain
Once
you have selected this make sure that you click on "Publish"
to proceed with publishing. However, we have implemented special security
procedures to make sure our server knows which account you are trying
to access as well as your password. This username and password combination
is the same combination used for your control panel. And that's it!
Give the server a moment to respond, and all the files will transfer.
FOR SECURITY PURPOSES, Microsoft requires you to re-enter your username
and password each time you re-open FrontPage and attempt to Publish.
The FTP address (above), however, will be saved, so you only need
to remember your username/password combination.
As
always, If you have ANY problems with this, please contact us at support@whatnott.com
