Installing FrontPage® Support for
Zeus Web Server
Installation Overview
Microsoft FrontPage allows users to create and modify a website 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 webservers requires:
- Installation of the Microsoft FrontPage Extension programs on the webserver machines
- Installation of files and CGI programs for each site requiring FrontPage.
To simplify adding support for FrontPage to sites hosted with the Zeus webserver we supply our own installation script.
You should not use the installation script supplied by Microsoft to install Frontpage support under the Zeus webserver.
Subservers and mass hosting are fully supported and scalability is good.
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 2000 with Frontpage Extensions up to version 4.0.
Installation Steps
