IIS and FrontPage

External Since: Aug 03, 2004 Posts: 1

I have a problem creating a site with Front Page 2003 and
having it run over the internet. Here is the details I am
using IIS 5.1. I have a web site and I can view a simple
web page over the internet with no problem. My problem
definately has to do with the fact that I am not using
port 80. I have configured my site to use port xxx, so
that when on the internet I type http://<ipadress>:xxx.
This works with everything except Front page sites. I
created a site using the web package solution and the
discussion website wizard. The pages work fine when I
change the port back to 80 and run them from the computer,
however, when I change the port back to xxx I get the
following error message when I try to post an article:
------
FrontPage Run-Time Component Page
You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page
that requires a web server and the FrontPage Server
Extensions to function properly.
This form or other FrontPage component will work correctly
if you publish this web to a web server that has the
FrontPage Server Extensions installed.
Click the <Back> arrow to return to the previous page.
------
I know the server extensions are installed but I bet they
aren't working properly. I tried using the MMC front page
server extensions snap in however I found no place to
configure the port settings. Maybe there is something I
can change in the registry to make front page recognize a
different port... PLease help if you need more information
and think you can help please e-mail me (remove SPAM_):

Try the FrontPage groups for support on this. My guess is that FP is
running code that expects port 80, such as a link for the menu in the
form of <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://website/link" target="_blank">http://website/link</a> with no port specified, but that's a
guess.
