Install FrontPage Server Extensions to support publishing

FrontPage Server Extensions support publishing from Microsoft FrontPage and certain

FrontPage-specific features. You must install and configure FrontPage Server Extensions on

computers running IIS before you can publish from FrontPage to the server.



To enable FrontPage publishing, browse to the Microsoft Office Downloads for FrontPage Web site,

download the latest version of FrontPage Server Extensions, and run the downloaded executable to

install the extensions.

After setup is complete, open the IIS console, right-click Default Web Site, and choose Properties.

Select the Server Extensions tab, and click Settings to open the FrontPage Server Extensions

configuration Web page.



You can configure the settings for the extensions from the configuration page. For example, use

the Mail Settings group to specify an SMTP server and other e-mail settings that the server will

use when submitting forms and other mail-related tasks. Use the Client Scripting group to specify

the types of scripts that can run on the site. Use the Security Settings group to log authoring

actions, require SSL for authoring, and allow authors to upload executables to the site.



Given that Windows 2000 Professional is limited to a maximum of 10 concurrent connections, it's

unlikely that you'll need to configure performance with the Performance Tuning group. When

you're satisfied with the settings, click Submit.



If you experience problems publishing from FrontPage to your Windows 2000 Professional

computer, open the IIS console, right-click the site, choose All Tasks | Check Server Extensions

2002. If you still have problems, choose All Tasks | Remove Server Extensions 2002, and reinstall

the extensions.
