HOWTO setup Web Servers using FrontPage

  This page is to help you setup a WebServer. I have tried to make it as simple as possible for any user to follow. If you proceed by the step by step process you should have a WebServer up and running quickly.. Good luck.

Here’s the NETWORK Concierge page. Click on the Hammer ICON and login to access the Network Concierge Configuration Web Page.

You will need to login as concierge administrator by entering the username “concierge” and the appropriate concierge password to gain access to the NC Configuration Web Page.

Now click on the Web Servers icon. The Web Configuration page will come up.

Click New.

Enter a name for the web site. In this case I have used “sampleweb”. This will be what you type into the URL of your browser to bring up your site. Next choose either to leave the owner as default www or change to meet your needs. Now click on the appropriate boxes to allow access from the Intranet and the Internet. Bring up the Share Configuration page by clicking on the folder that says Share.

Now name the share, this can be the same as the Web name. In my case I chose to call it “sampleweb”. Next choose the type of access you want your readers to have. I chose Read Only to allow those on the Local Area Network to look but not touch. You never know what people will do, especially coworkers. Next click on each User and the buttons below to specify the type of access they have to the site. N/A for not applicable, R-O for read only, R-W for read and write privileges, and Def for what you chose as your default (in our case Read Only). Once you have completed giving each user access privileges click on the Apply button. Now click on the FrontPage folder tab to get to the FrontPage Configuration page.

Check the Install FrontPage extensions box to add the underlying Microsoft FrontPage support. Type in an Administrator name. Then enter and re-type a password.

Once you have finished the setting up the underlying structure you are going to use Microsoft FrontPage to build you page. Click on Microsoft FrontPage.

Click on button for Create a New FrontPage Web.

Next choose the type of FrontPage Web you would like to create. I have chosen to use the Corporate Presence Wizard to create a sample corporate website. Then choose a title for your FrontPage Web. I have left the default My New Web. When done press OK.  NOTE: For this sample corporate web, the default settings will be selected for each screen, until the FrontPage web is finished.  Then the web is created on the local machine prior to publishing it to the Network Concierge web server.

Read and press Next. 

Select the main pages to include in your web and press Next.

Select the topics you would like to appear on your Home Page and press Next.

Select the topics you want to appear on your What’s New Page and press Next.

Enter values for the number of product and service pages the wizard should create and press Next.

Select additional items to display for each product. Then select additional items to display for each service and press Next.

Choose the information you want to collect from readers when they submit comments and press Next.

Select whether or not you would like the feedback file to be compatible with database and spreadsheet programs by selecting yes or no. When finished press Next.

Choose the format for the following presentation options and press Next when done.

Select what should appear at the top and the bottom of each page and then press Next.

Select yes or no to the Under Construction icon and press Next.

Answer questions provided and press Next.

Enter the following information and press Next.

If you wish to choose a theme press Choose Web Theme and follow instructions given. If no press Next.

If desired, make sure Show Tasks is checked and press Finish.

This is the Show Tasks page. To publish to server click on Publish.

 Enter the location to which you want to publish your FrontPage web. This should be http:// directly followed by the name you have already chosen for you web server. In this case, type http://sampleweb. When finished click on OK.

Enter your administrator name and password for FrontPage authentication.

Open your Internet browser and enter the web name. In this case “http://sampleweb” which should bring up the following sample web page you just created.
