FP SE - FrontPage Server Extensions
(required to publish using http mode in FP)
http://home.roadrunner.tb.com/myname is not a page URL (a page needs a .htm file extension), it is a folder location
Looks like your host has not even provided a default home page (index.htm or default.htm)
- that's why you saw a directory listing when you went there in IE
Verify w/ your host that they support the FP SE and have them installed for your URL
| Thank you for your timely response Stefan. I am
| not sure exactly what you mean by root web, but I would
| assume it to be the root page assigned to me by my ISP,
| Roadrunner. So then yes ,
|
http://home.roadrunner.tb.com/myname would be my root
| web page. I am also a little lost with your abbreviation
| of SE.
|
| As you suggested. I start Internet Explorer 6
| (6.0.2800.1106, XPSP2) , and in the address bar, I type
|
http://home.roadrunner.tb.com/myname. I see a blank page
| with the title "Index of myname" in the upper left.
| Under that I see column fields titled Name, Last
| Modified, Size, and description. I also see only one
| item listed. Its name is Parent Directory and last
| modified today at the time I opened this site. If I
| click on the Parent Directory link, my browser is
| directed to a page titled "TampaBay Road Runner User Home
| Pages From this page, you can create and manage your
| Personal Home page. For information about any area, go to
| the "help" area and choose the section you need
| assistance with. Enjoy!"
|
| Returning to the original page
| (
http://home.roadrunner.tb.com/myname) , I click File,
| Edit with MS FP, and FP starts up. Soon I get a pop-up
| window asking for user name and password. I fill that in
| correctly and click OK. The folder view opens with the
| correct folder name. Shortly thereafter, I get a pop-up
| error message window that reads "The specified File or
| web does not exist".
|
| All of this started as I followed the tutorials of
| learning FP. They said Click file, new, Page or Web.
| From the New Page or Web task Pane. From there, I
| clicked Website Templates. In the new pop-up Window, I
| selected One page Web, and in the new web location
| window, I typed
http://home.roadrunner.tb.com/myname. I
| then clicked ok. It is at this point that I can no
| longer proceed past the user name and password pop -up
| window.
|
| If you have any clues, I would be most grateful
| Thanks again for your previous response,
| Al
