SUMMARY
This article describes how to move the FrontPage Personal Web Server
from the default drive (drive C) to a different drive.
MORE INFORMATION
To move the FrontPage Personal Web Server content to another drive,
follow these steps:
| 1. | Start the Server Administrator.
The icon you use to start the FrontPage Server Administrator is in
different locations depending on the version of FrontPage and the
version of Windows you are running. In all versions of FrontPage on
Windows NT 3.51, the icon is located in the Microsoft FrontPage program
group. This is also true for FrontPage 1.0 on Windows 3.x. In FrontPage
1.1 running under Windows 95 or NT 4.0, the icon to start Server
Administrator is on the Start Menu. In FrontPage 97 on Windows 95 or
Windows NT 4.0, the icon is located in the directory where
you installed FrontPage.
| | 2. | Click Uninstall.
| | 3. | Copy the \FrontPage Webs directory to the new drive. If you are
moving from drive C to drive D, move the entire \FrontPage Webs
directory from drive C to drive D.
| | 4. | Using a text editor, such as Notepad, open the httpd.cnf file in
the \FrontPage Webs\Server\conf folder. This file specifies the
location of the FrontPage Server.
In FrontPage 1.0, this file is located in the C:\Vermeer\http\conf
subdirectory.
| | 5. | Modify the "ServerRoot" line so that it specifies the new drive
location of the server. For example, if you are moving the server
from drive C to drive D, change this line so that it looks like
this:
ServerRoot D:/FrontPage webs/server/
NOTE: The slashes should be written in UNIX format (/). If the path
to the file contains spaces, it should be preceded by a backslash
(\). For example, C:\FrontPage Webs\content is written as follows:
C:/FrontPage\ Webs/content | | 6. | Save and close the httpd.cnf file.
NOTE: This change affects just the FrontPage Personal Web Server.
Steps 7 through 10 change the location of the Web content
directory.
| | 7. | Using a text editor, such as Notepad, open the Srm.cnf file.
This file specifies the location of the server content. It is
located in the following default locations:
Version of FrontPage Location
--------------------------------------
97 FrontPage Webs\Server\Conf
1.1 FrontPage Webs\Content
1.0 Vermeer\Httpd\Conf | | 8. | Modify the "DocumentRoot" line so that it specifies the new
location of your content. For example, if you are moving the server
from drive C to drive D, change this line so that it looks like
this:DocumentRoot D:/FrontPage webs/content
NOTE: The slashes should be written in UNIX format (/). If the path
to the file contains spaces, it should be preceded by a backslash
(\). For example, C:\FrontPage Webs\content is written as follows:C:/FrontPage\ Webs/content | | 9. | Save and close the Srm.cnf file.
| | 10. | Restart the Server Administrator.
| | 11. | Click Install and select the httpd.cnf file on the new drive. |
