Re: How to set up a local web?

FrontPage saying:

But the server FrontPage Server Extensions *are* installed - for =

It's even worse than I thought. If I open "C:\inetpub\wwwroot" in =

Is this the right newsgroup to be posting this to?

Re: How to set up a local web?

Also, on my old laptop, if I open http://localhost/Davesweb in FrontPage =
and select Tools + Web Settings, the dialog box says "Server version: =
Microsoft-IIS/5.1".

But on my new laptop, if I open "C:\inetpub\wwwroot" in FrontPage (it =
won't let me open "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Davesweb" as a web), and select =
Tools + Web Settings, , the dialog box says "Server version: no server =

So FrontPage seems to be unaware that IIS is installed, as well as being =
unaware that the FP Server Extensions are installed, although both are =
installed.
