The root web would actually be
http://localhost (or the name of your local
computer)
http://mycomputername
the /myweb would only be added if you were working with a subweb.
I don't understand why you are trying to publish to your own local machine?
Creating a server based web and working on it is all you need to do.
Why are you creating the extra work?

| MS never makes anything simple. I have no idea how to modify the registry
| and the Jimco add in would not install. I got an error message about some
| library file is missing. One would think with the vast array of knowledge
| that MS has, they would be able to put all of this in one pacakage and you
| download it and your done;
|
| I am able to put
http://localhost/myweb in the URL address and the web
page
| comes up but when I try to publish from Front Page to that address, I
start
| getting error messages. When I open Front Page to the Web in question, it
| shows the web in the left window just as with any other web I might open
and
| in the right window it shows all of the files under C:\inetpub\wwwroot.
|
| I am about to toss in the towel unless someone has a solution.
