Installing FrontPage Server Extensions
During installation, the install shell modifies or adds the following files and
directories:
• Modifies
magnus.conf
• Creates a configuration file named
/usr/local/frontpage/<hostname:port.cnf
• Modifies the server’s configuration file (
obj.conf
) to add ObjectType
directives, marking three of the
/_vti_
directories as containing
executables.
• Adds seven subdirectories under the server’s document root:
/_vti_bin (contains shtml.exe)
/_vti_bin/_vti_adm (contains admin.exe)
/_vti_bin/_vti_aut (contains author.exe)
/_vti_cnf
/_vti_pvt
/_private
/_vti_log
/_vti_txt
/images
• Creates
.nsconfig
files in the
/_vti_bin
,
/_vti_adm
,
/_vti_aut
and the document root directories.
Once you have completed the installation process, you must perform the
following administrative tasks:
1.
Execute the fpsrvwin.exe file to set the server port, test the extensions,
install the extensions to other virtual servers, and update extensions.
2.
A remote machine must have the FrontPage ’98 program installed,
(Macintosh or Windows only).
Once the FrontPage program is started, the user is prompted for the name
of a server to edit or open.
3.
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. Choose OK.
4.
Select the proper web from the list of webs on the host machine to edit.
