Overview
480 Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide
• When a user moves a page between folders in a FrontPage web, the
extensions automatically update all links to that page from every other page
in the web.
• You can specify which users have permission to administer, author or
browse a FrontPage web.
• When Front Page web users participate in a discussion group, the
extensions take advantage of the available WebBots to maintain an index of
links to discussion articles, tables of contents, and search forms.
The extensions can minimize file transfers over the Internet. For example, when
a user opens a FrontPage web from an Enterprise Server with the extensions,
web metadata, such as its map of links, is downloaded to the user’s machine
but the full set of web pages remain on the server. A page is downloaded only
when it is opened for editing.
Once you have installed the extensions on your server, FrontPage web
publishing, administering, and discussion group functionality is available from
any computer that is on the Internet or a local Intranet, although you need the
FrontPage client program for authoring and administrative functions.
Types of FrontPage Webs
There are two kinds of FrontPage webs: root webs and sub-webs .A root web is a
FrontPage web that is the top-level content directory of a Web server or, in a
multi-hosting environment, of a virtual Web server. There can only be one root
web per Web Server or virtual Web server.
A single root web can support a number of sub-webs. A sub-web is a complete
FrontPage web that is a subdirectory of the root web. Sub-webs can only exist
one level below the root web. Each sub-web can have many levels of
subdirectories, making up its content.
Even though sub-webs appear below the root web in the Web server’s
filesystem and URL space, the root web does not include the content in its sub-
webs. This separation of content is done by the FrontPage Server Extensions.
The root web and all sub-webs on a server must have separate copies of the
extensions installed or have stub executables of the extensions programs.
Having separate copies of the extensions for each FrontPage weblets the server
