Installing FrontPage Server Extensions
488 Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide
— If the user wants to edit a web on a different machine, click on
“MoreWebs”, on the line to select a web server or disk location type in
the
servername:portnumber
of the web to edit then click OK.
— Select the web you wish to edit from the list of webs on the host
machine.
• You need to provision each additional web. You can do this from the client
side, with the FrontPage client provided the client has the right
authorization (the administrator username and password) for the root web.
You can also provision user webs from the server side by using the program
fpsrvadm.exe
to set the password for an individual web. You need to
make sure that the new FrontPage web does not inherit the administrator
username and password from the root web.
• Locate the
fpadmin.htm
file, typically in the \
admin\cgidirectory
of
your FrontPage program directory. You can use this to configure your
FrontPage web.
• Users can edit the local web that is displayed when FrontPage is started, but
they must have a valid user ID and password to modify it.
Installing FrontPage97 Server
Extensions on Unix Systems
The installation process on a Unix system requires you to have the appropriate
file permissions and directories set up beforehand. The extensions require a
specific directory structure, which is discussed later in this section. After
installation, you must perform some additional administrative tasks for setting
permissions and accessing specific webs.
These installation instructions are for the standalone FrontPage Server
Extensions that are in a tarred file that is downloadable from the Microsoft
FrontPage web site or the Ready-To-Run Software website.
Important
You need to be logged in as the root user to perform the install. The root user
must have write permission for the
/usr/local
directory even if this is not
the directory where you want to install the extensions. This is because if you
choose not to install the extensions in the /
usr/local
directory, a soft link is
added automatically between
/usr/local
and the directory you wish to use.
