FrontPage 2000 probs - Upgrade or not?
|
|
|
| I have been using FrontPage 2000 to keep my small business
website updated. I can no longer open or publish to my
website and get the following error message:
Server Error: Unable to access configuration for Microsoft
Internet Information Server.
I recently went to Comcast cable modem with a Linksys
router. I believe the prob may be with the Personal web
server conflicting with the router but I'm not smart
enough to figure it out. I also understand that in later
versions of FrontPage, you don't need PWS. To upgrade to
current version of FrontPage requires 2000 or XP and I
have Windows 98SE. Is the upgrades worth the hassle or is
there an easy fix?
I loaded FrontPage 2000 yesterday on another computer
which is on the same network and was able to open my
website and edit it directly. However today I get
the 'above' error message. I've rebooted numerous times
with no success.
I've read through numerous FAQ's but no help. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

| Comcast may be blocking port 80 to prevent you from hosting a site locally
- FP requires port 80
- check w/ them
Your default linksys settings should not be blocking FP or port 80, but you may need to check the documentation for your setting
- also any firewall software may be blocking FP
The issues will be the same for any version of FP trying to access a remote site

| Checked with Comcast and they say they don't block Port
80. Gave me a list of ones they do block. They
recommended disconnecting the router and firewall to see
if prob goes away. Firewall shouldn't be a prob since it
worked before and asked if FP can access net (I say yes).
Router shouldn't be a prob because cable modem goes
directly to computer I'm using and then to router but I
will try it.

| I need to go back to 'Networking 101'. When I disconnect
my Cat5 from my main computer into my router, I no longer
access the net. I'll have to think about my config
settings.

| My mistake. My cable modem goes into the router and then
to the computers. It went directly to my main computer
before I installed the router. I will take the router out
of service and see if this solves things.

| Recheck your firewall software or settings
- before you gave FP permissions thru presumably dialup (direct access to host IP)
- now you are going to your host IP thru a router IP
