When publishing w/FPg, a new site gets created inside the Def. Web Sit 1

Howdy Folks,

Got a little situation here that's driving me crazy. Using IIS5 on a Win2k Server.

Have dutifully gone thru the steps of creating a new static IP address, creating a shared content folder at the root of my server's C:\ drive, created the new server in IIS and finally installed the 2002 FrontPage extensions.

HOWEVER, when I then go over to my desktop and publish my new site using FrontPage, the new website invariably gets published INSIDE the Default Web Site in IIS, NOT the new site and content folder that I have created.

Any suggestions? I'm wondering if I should try just deleting the Default Web site or is that a good idea?

Hello...

By default, FrontPage will add a folder name onto the end of the address that you are publishing too. There are two things you can try: Double check the address before publishing, if you see the folder name on the end, just modify the address to go right into the root. Also, there is a check box when you are setting up the site that says "add to current web site", you want to have this checked....this will stop the folder from being added to the end of the address. If you have not already set up a web in the root, you can do so by selecting to create an empty web, and then make sure the "add to current web site" is selected underneath the address field. That should take care of your problem. I was having the same problem, and it was driving me crazy for a day or so before I could get it figured out. Anyways, hope that helps!
