The SMTP server is used by the FPSE to send email from the website, so you have
to configure it

realy (that is bad and could possibly get your ISP account terminated)

**************************************
Download and install FPSE 2002
(http:
Configure FPSE 2002
**************************************
-----Start IIS Manager (Start...Settings...Control Panel...Admin Tools...IIS)
-----Expand the Web Sites Folder under the local computer (Click + next to
server then + next to Websites)
-----Rt-click the Default WebSite...Properties - Set as Below
-----You should now see a tab for Server Extensions 2002, Click that tab
-----Click the settings button
Now you are ready to admin the sites with FPSE and you should get the admin
pages no problem
use a little common sense in filling in the fields on the first page and then
submit
If you have gotten this far - You Front Page Server Extensions should be ready and working
Your front page webs are now ready to be created
With Windows XP Pro - you are limited to 10 connections (not users-connections)
so resources can go quickly if you think you are going to use this to serve an
even
moderately busy site - you are in for a letdown - but for developmental
purposes, its not a bad setup
Now - you can't create any webs, only subwebs of the default web server
SO - easiest way to add a new subweb with frontpage is:
-----Start Frontpage...File...New Web...Click Web Site templates from list on
right...Select a web template
-----Where it asks to specify the location of the new website, enter the IP
address you setup earlier with a folder name for the subweb
-----I.e. enter
http:
-----it will ask for username password - you will need to enter Administrator
and the admin password
-----put a check in the box to save your login
-----This will create the new subweb site - create your form there and test it
by previewing in the browser
-----it should submit, give you confirmation, and when you go the private folder
you will be able to open .txt file and see your results
To Publish a Disk Based Web do the Following:
Open the Disk-based web - you know its a disk based web cause it will have a Hard Letter to Start instead of a website http:// - I added a Hit Counter Component Just for Example
Now I'll Save that Disk-based webpage then view it in a browser
Notice my hit counter doesnt work because in order for Website Componenets to work - the disk-based site has to be published to a webserver - since we just installed IIS on our local computer - lets publish it there into a subweb
Click File...Publish Site - enter http://localhost then add a subweb name (make something up - see below)
you should get a warning that the site doesnt exist - Click Yes to Create it
The Publish Web window will open - Click Publish Website in the lower right hand corner
It will then "publish" the files to the webserver and you'll get the screen below
Click View your Remote Web Site and it will open in a browser
WOW - The hit Counter and all web features work - GLORY!!!!!!
Thats ALL!!!!
HAVE FUN
