If you are working on just a workstation, then, when you create a new page
from a template or a blank page, FrontPage automatically creates it as a
file-based web page. When you save what you have created, it goes to a
file in your hard drive. Forms and other components need to be published
to a web server to work properly. That web server needs to have the
FrontPage Server Extensions installed on it, and be configured to use it in
the process of serving the web pages. Until both the following are
completed, you will get the error message you got:
1) the web server has the FPSE installed to it, and
2) The web server that is actually serving the pages are configured to used
the FPSE.
The web server that Microsoft sells is named Internet and Information
Server--hence the acronym IIS, In its fullest form, it is part of Windows
server and is installed on a box that is on the same network as the
workstations, which run FrontPage. When IIS is installed, a primary Web
Server is created, and several virtual web servers are created to serve up
the system and product information and help pages. The IIS administrator,
the geek in charge of the network box that contains the main IIS server,
creates other virtual servers for the use of the engineers on the
workstations to use. These engineers then publish their web pages to their
assigned Virtual Web Server (VWS). For forms and other FPSE components to
work fully, the FPSE must be installed to the IIS primary server, and then
each VWS that needs to serve those components must be individually
configured to use the FPSE. The IIS Administrator knows how to do that for
you.
If you do not have a separate Windows server box to run your web site and
you need to run it from your workstation, then you can use what is
equivalent to a VWS that runs on your workstation. If you are using WinXP,
then you have to make sure that it is completely installed. Then you can
install FPSE to it and configure it to use them. But, that is another tale
for another night's bedtime story. You are surely asleep by now.
