Could not find a web server on Localhost on port 80
|
|
|
| Sorry, but it's been a long time since I've used FrontPage.
I'm using Win98se & FP2000
When I run front page I get the error 'could not find a web server on
localhost on port 80. My personal web server isn't running either & I can't
find it. I've searched through all the discussions here & there and think my
system is too outdated to find the solution. The only new program I've added
in dsl & mcafee firewall. Could this be the problem? Thank you for any help!

win98se dont have a server for the www
therefor you wont get it on port 80.
if you want to setup win98se for the www then you will need a web server
software like apachie (or similer)
ether that or upgrade windows to win2000 server

| The error results from the server not running. PWS on win98SE
normally has an icon in the system tray (near the clock) which can be
used to start/stop the server.
If there is no icon, use Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs - Windows
Setup tag
Then Internet Tools - Details and check that Personal Web Server is
installed.
If you have to install, then the FP2000 extensions will also have to
be installed - the easiest way is to re-install FP2000 with PWS
running.
Note that you do not need a server to build websites using FP2000 and
later. Disc based webs are perfect, unless you intend to locally test
any components that need a server - search forms, forms, hit counter,
server-side scripting.

| Windows98SE uses PWS4, which is supplied on the Windows98SE CD.
