Installing FrontPage® Support for
Zeus Web Server
Installation Overview
Microsoft FrontPage allows users to create and modify a web site using a client application and to publish the site with no more difficulty than saving a document. All that is required is the URL of the site and a password.
Providing support for this on your web servers requires:
- Installation of the Microsoft FrontPage Extension programs on the web server machines
- Installation of files and CGI programs for each site requiring FrontPage.
To simplify adding support for FrontPage to sites hosted with Zeus Web Server, we supply our own installation script.
You should not use the installation script supplied by Microsoft to install Frontpage support under the Zeus web server.
Subservers and mass hosting are fully supported with good scalability.
Per-site installation can be done by simple interactive questions or from command line flags suitable for scripting.
All FrontPage administration tasks should be performed with the Windows client application. FrontPage support has been tested with all versions of FrontPage up to FrontPage 2002 with Frontpage Extensions up to version 5.0.
