Q:

How do I publish my web site using FrontPage?

A:

You can do this in one of two ways.

  • The first is to set up the complete site on your local computer and then publish it, when ready, by going to "File > Publish Web". You can call the main one whatever you want (you may, for instance, create a web at C:\site\fp). This "web" should be kept locally, and it should be configured EXACTLY like your site on Intermedia: same directory names, file names, etc. It is your most important copy because, if there are any problems on the web server, you will need it.
  • The second way is not recommended: you can edit your web site directly on the server (by going to "File > Open Web" and typing in the web site). This is not recommended because you will only have one copy of your site. However, it is a good way to check the current configuration of your site.

When you are ready to publish (or connect), you should publish directly to http://yourdomain.name and you should include all subwebs.
If you only want to publish one of the subwebs, you will need to open that subweb locally and then publish only to that subweb (e.g., if your main web was located on C:\site\fp and http://domain.name, then you would open C:\site\fp\subweb and publish it to http://domain.name/subweb).

Please note that, if you deviate too far from the above procedures, you may have to "start over". Assuming that you keep a local copy of your web site, this "starting over" would involve completely uninstalling FrontPage extensions (go to the Install/Uninstall section, press Uninstall, then press OK, then press Cancel) and may ALSO involve deleting all content via FTP before reinstalling FrontPage and republishing your web site from scratch.
