Does anyone know how to publish a website to an Intranet, with no ISP service, using Front Page

[Gordon Cashmore]

All,

I have IIS 5.0 running on a Win2000 box.
I have an intranet web site created on the box.

I want to take advantage of the search capabilities on of FPSE 2002. I use
Front Page 2002 to build and update my site. It is a very simple site using
hyperlinks to files etc. We don't do anything fancy.

When I tried to apply the search component to an ASP web page and try to
activate it, I get a message saying the site must be published.

How can I get around this, and if not, how can I publish it without an
internet presence

Thanks in advance
Gordon Cashmore

If this is on your own computer you have to be running your computer as a
web server. The asp pages might not work unless it is on a server that
supports asp.

Make sure that you are opening the web through http:// and not through the
file system. If you open it through the file system it may balk with an
error like this because it knows the asp page and search function require a
web server.

hope this helps,

If your IIS 5.0 is running and correctly configured then you should be able
to access your site through IIS, the just trying to run the page through
frontpage will not activate the asp interpreter in IIS

Use the Personal Web Manager, Control Panel -> Administrative
Tools ->Personal Web Manager if your not running win2K as a server with a
domain then your site will be available over your network as
http://your_computers network_name.

 

[127.0.0.1]

From the machine, you can call the loac webserver using: http://127.0.0.1 ,
this is the local loopback IP address

also , http:// localhost works.

You also must have Frontpage Server Extensions installed on the Server, and
configured to work with the site in question.

Otherwise, there are ASP Searches available, that will accomplish the same
thing without having to setup and index the site
