Well, I guess the day had to come. I am running this server without a control panel app, and I realize now I ain't got no Front Page Extensions on it. And I cannot get them, MS EOLed FP in 2006

Man, I hate learning new software to do what I already know how to do.

So, anyone wanna pitch in with their web app? Please, I know html and Notepad, but that's not an option.

Dunno Neal maybe you need to Update,
what you had before

In doing what I think you may have done,
Sites,Forums,etc,now need to be Compatible with Firefox,Explorer,
The latest Plugins,etc,etc,
I could be wrong

just a Suggestion,
Our Site alone had to look to the Future,
Not finished Yet, but done by a Pro Web Designer,
Tips I've learned never break up what is Good,
Site wise,Forum wise,etc,etc,
Or Reboot your System back to a Certain date?
I guess Look back,See whats best for Subsim,
Make your Judgement,
But if you Really need Help?
Let me know

Hey Neal, if I'm reading this right all is not lost but you will need someone better versed at Command Line instructions.

This link details the process - http://thesystemadministrator.com/Th..._Command_Line/

If I am correct you should be able to install the extensions through that interface rather than the Add/Remove Components.

Alas, I know the basics only.

Edit - Actually, bring up the CMD line on your server and paste this command:

%windir%\system32\sysocmgr.exe /i:%windir%\inf\sysoc.inf

Does that bring up the components window on your server? If it does, I want a chufty badge.

Or I've completely misunderstood the question and I'll have a

.

Edit Edit - Sorry, should have been more specific. Select Internet Information Services (IIS) and then click Details. Then you can select to install the FrontPage Server Extensions.

Thanks, Dan. Alas, this is a Lynux server running CentOS. I have command line access but there server does not have the FPE kit on it, and with MS's edict forbidding distribution, I cannot get it. Owner is right, time for me to move on. I just resent it

I went from FP to Web Expressions just because of the familiarity of the 2 programs, and less of a steep learning curve.

Web expressions is great for CSS and I am leaning more and more toward it.

You can still use extensions to publish with it, but they cut out most of the other extension dependent stuff in the program.
