Author How to create a local disk-based web server

2006-02-07, 6:00 pm

I'm using Win XP Pro. My notebook's hard drive is NTFS formatted. I'm using
FP2003. I installed FPSE from my Win XP Pro CD. I configured the FPSE. I
can't publish locally using HTTP://.

Do I'm missing something to create the web server. Do I have to run any
program to prepare the hard drive to accept a local web server?

Thanks

You must install IIS and the FP extensions, then you must configure the default web to use the
extensions.

In addition, I think you are using the wrong URL. You should use
"http://localhost" or "http://<computername>"

I did that but it is not working at all. I also was able to create a FPSE
web site but I can not publish to it using the http://xxxx/xxxxx format.

Thanks.

Make sure you do not have any spaces, etc. in the folder names, etc. and that you have configured
the FP extensions under the root web (default web) of which you can only have one under Windows XP
Pro or Windows 2000 Pro.

So http://pavilion(computer's name would not be valid since it would be a second root web.

Open http://localhost in FP, then create a folder, right click on the folder and select convert to
subweb / subsite then you should be able to publish to http://localhost/subwebname
