FP: "No Server on Port ..." Error Opening, Creating Web Page

 Last reviewed: March 18, 1998
Article ID: Q150684
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows with Bonus Pack
  • Microsoft FrontPage for Windows, version 1.1

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to create a new Web or open an existing Web in FrontPage Explorer, the following message appears: 

   There is no server on port <port number> at '<Server name>'
where <port number> is the port to which your server is connected.

CAUSE

The auto-launch feature of the FrontPage Personal Web Server functions only when the server is running from port 80.

WORKAROUND

If your FrontPage Personal Web Server is installed to a port other than 80, start the Personal Web Server before you work with the FrontPage Explorer.

MORE INFORMATION

If you are using FrontPage 1.0 and you choose the full installation of FrontPage 1.1 (as opposed to the upgrade), the FrontPage Personal Web Server 1.1 is installed to port 8080.
