SUMMARY

This article describes how to change the folder for your Web page content in the FrontPage Personal Web Server.

MORE INFORMATION

You can select a default content area during installation. However, if you change your mind after installation, you can change the folder for your Web content by following these steps:

1.Run the FrontPage Server Administrator.
2.Click Uninstall to remove the FrontPage Server Extensions.
3.On the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, point to Accessories and click Notepad. Open the Srm.cnf file. This file is located in the following locations:
      Version            Folder
      ----------------------------------------------

      FrontPage 1.0      \Vermeer\Httpd\Conf
      FrontPage 1.1      \FrontPage Webs\Server\Conf
      FrontPage 97       \FrontPage Webs\Server\conf
4.Modify the "DocumentRoot" line so that it specifies the new location of your content. For example, if you are using a folder called "Webpages," change the DocumentRoot line so that it looks like this:
DocumentRoot C:/Webpages
Note that the slashes should be written in UNIX format (/). If the path to the file contains spaces, they should be preceded by a backslash (\). For example, C:\FrontPage Webs\content is written as follows:
C:/FrontPage\ Webs/content
5.Save and close the Srm.cnf file.
6.Move your content files from the old location to the new content folder.
7.Restart the FrontPage Server Administrator and reinstall the FrontPage Server Extensions. The content folder will be updated automatically.
NOTE: Microsoft recommends that you do not put the content directly in the \Vermeer or the \Program Files\Microsoft FrontPage folder. Although Microsoft does not recommend this alternative, you can create a subfolder in the \Vermeer or the \Program Files\Microsoft FrontPage folder if you want to store your pages in these folders.
