There are 3 recommended methods for publishing your site using Microsoft FrontPage. Please
choose the best method for your situation, and carefully follow the provided
instructions.
Before uploading your site for the first time, make sure to initialize
your FrontPage extensions from your control panel (http://yourdomainname.com/control).
NOTE: The most common problems are encountered when Microsoft FrontPage is used to edit files, but an FTP program is used to
upload them. This publishing method is not supported. There are typically undesirable interactions between
FrontPage and foreign FTP clients, resulting in "missing DLL," "FrontPage extensions not installed," or other
similar errors.
The FrontPage manual provides in-depth tutorials on how to use Microsoft FrontPage to publish to your site. This
documentation is intended to give you a brief overview of which publishing methods are supported. For detailed
documentation, please consult your FrontPage manual.
1. Server-Side Editing
Instructions. Use this method if you wish to dynamically edit your documents online. All modifications
are made directly to your website. New users should use this method, as this is the preferred method.
2. Personal Server Editing
Instructions. Use this method if you wish to edit your documents offline (on your hard drive), uploading
to your website only when you choose. You must have installed the Microsoft Personal Web Server (included with
FrontPage 97 & 98) to use this feature.
3. File Location Editing
Instructions. Use this method if you wish to edit your documents offline, but don't wish to install the
Microsoft Personal Web Server on your computer. Dynamic components and web bots are not supported using this method
Helpful Hints
DO NOT attempt to use FTP to access your site if you are using Microsoft FrontPage. Doing so may
corrupt your FrontPage extensions, requiring them to be reinstalled.
If you experience problems when following the provided instructions, please provide the following
information to your Opt2.net support representative: FrontPage version, which method (above)
you are using, exact error message(s).
Opt2.net does not provide support for Microsoft's Web Publishing Wizard (this software is not related to Microsoft FrontPage),
although you may be able to configure this software properly.
