Installing The Microsoft"" FrontPage"" Server Extensions

If you would like to use Microsoft FrontPage to create and publish your Web site, you may wish to take advantage of the extra features available to you by installing the Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions. The extensions make it easy to publish Web sites from your PC without having to worry about transferring files, learning about HTML or Web programming.

Before you can use these extensions, they must be installed on the virtual host that you want to publish to. There are two ways to install the extensions: through the VAdmin Web interface and through the fpconfig super command from the command line.

For instructions on installing the extensions through the VAdmin interface, please refer to the Freedom VAdmin Guide.

If you prefer to install the extensions from the command line instead, type the following at the command prompt:

> fpconfig

You'll then be prompted for the name of the virtual host you are installing the extensions on, as well as some other required information. After performing a command line installation, you will need to restart Apache as described in the next section before you can use the extensions through the FrontPage client software.
