Frontpage personal web server

To run FPPWS with WinGate simply change the port that FPPWS listens on and use the ‘Pipe requests’ option on the non-proxy request tab on the WWW proxy.

WinGate Setup:

1. In GateKeeper, open the WWW proxy properties

2. On the Non Proxy Request tab select Pipe Request to other server

3. Enter ‘localhost’ for the Server,

4. Enter 8080 for the port

5. Click OK to exit the dialog.

6. Save the Changes

FPPWS Setup:

If you already have the FrontPage server extensions running on one port, and you want to change the port number, follow these steps:

1. Stop FPPWS

2. Start the Server Administrator from the Task bar

3. In the Serve Administrator dialog box, select the current port (80) in the Select port number field. If the port is not listed then skip to step 5.

4. Select Uninstall to remove the server extensions for this port. This will also remove the section for this port from the frontpg.ini file in your windows directory. This will not remove your content files such as the HTML files or GIF files. It will remove the _vti_bin directory holding the server extension executables for the web, and the _vti_txt directory holding the text index for the web.

5. Change the port number on the Port line of the httpd.cnf file to 8080. By default this file name is c:\FrontPage Webs\Server\conf\httpd.cnf

6. In the Server Administrator, select Install to reinstall the server extensions for the new port

7. Restart the server.
