Article » [How To] The official Microsoft Frontpage Publishing How-To Thread.
Any Frontpage questions should go here. I will start it off with the most common issues:
Q: How do I upload my Frontpage Web site?
NOTE: Frontpage versions vary. The instructions below should apply to all version, but if you need specific help on FrontPage you need to visit Microsoft's FrontPage Support Site located HERE
If you are publishing a web to the Web server you must have Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions installed on it. Your account DOES NOT have FrontPage extentions on installed by default. You must install the extentions from your control panel before attempting to publish your site.
If you attempt to publish before you have installed your frontpage extentions you run the risk of destroying your site and it will have to be deleted from the server and re-created.
Publish a web using HTTP ONLY!! If you use ftp you will damage the site.
EXAMPLE: http://yourdomain.com
not http://www.yourdomain.com
and not ftp.yourdomain.com
Publish the files in the current web when you are ready to present your web for public viewing, or when you want to update the files in your web. You can publish using HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) if the the FrontPage Server Extensions are installed on the Web server to which you are publishing.
Before you publish your web, you can specify which pages you want to publish. Then, when you publish your web, you have the following options:
Publish only the files that have changed. FrontPage compares the files on your local web to the files on the Web server, and only those files that are newer than those on the Web server are published. However, files that have been marked Don't Publish will not be published.
Publish all files, except those that have been marked Don't Publish. The files from the local web will overwrite all files on the destination Web server, even if the files on the Web server are newer. On the File menu, click Publish Web.
Click Options to expand the list of options. Specify whether you want to publish only pages that have changed, or all pages.
FrontPage publishes your web. If you want to verify that your web was successfully published, click the hyperlink that is displayed after the web has been published — your Web browser will open to the site you just published.
If you cancel publishing in the middle of the operation, files that have already been published remain on the destination Web server.
Tip: To publish only pages that have changed to the same location you previously published to, click Publish.
Tip: If you have published your web and cannot see any changes, your browser may be storing an old version of the site. This is called "cache"
To clear the browser cache, you need to delete your temporary internet files. Refer to your browser's help file on how to do this. For internet Explorer, click Tools > internet options > delete files. Then try to view your site again.
If you still have issues, contact MicroSoft support, you may have a bad installation, or didn't follow the instructions carefully enough
