FP98: Server Extensions Do Not Support Nested Virtual Roots

ID: Q194475

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows

SUMMARY

This article describes concerns relating to the location of the content root of your web server.

MORE INFORMATION

Web servers can work with different virtual server directory structures than the FrontPage Server Extensions require. Virtual server directories should not be configured under the root directory for another server. The following configurations will not work with the FrontPage Server Extensions because they contain nested directories for the virtual servers:

Server Running on Windows NT

Root Web c:\inetsrv\wwwroot
Virtual Server 1 c:\inetsrv\wwwroot\virsvr1
Virtual Server 2 c:\inetsrv\wwwroot\virsvr2

Server Running on UNIX

Root Web /usr/local/www
Virtual Server 1 /usr/local/www/user1
Virtual Server 2 /usr/local/www/user2
