SUMMARY
=======
This article describes how to change the folder for your Web page content in the
FrontPage Personal Web Server.
MORE INFORMATION
================
You can select a default content area during installation. However, if you
change your mind after installation, you can change the folder for your Web
content by following these steps:
1. Run the FrontPage Server Administrator.
2. Click Uninstall to remove the FrontPage Server Extensions.
3. On the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, point to Accessories and click
Notepad. Open the Srm.cnf file. This file is located in the following
locations:
Version Folder
----------------------------------------------
FrontPage 1.0 \Vermeer\Httpd\Conf
FrontPage 1.1 \FrontPage Webs\Server\Conf
FrontPage 97 \FrontPage Webs\Server\conf
4. Modify the "DocumentRoot" line so that it specifies the new location of your
content. For example, if you are using a folder called "Webpages," change the
DocumentRoot line so that it looks like this:
DocumentRoot C:/Webpages
Note that the slashes should be written in UNIX format (/). If the path to the
file contains spaces, they should be preceded by a backslash (\). For
example, C:\FrontPage Webs\content is written as follows:
C:/FrontPage\ Webs/content
5. Save and close the Srm.cnf file.
6. Move your content files from the old location to the new content folder.
7. Restart the FrontPage Server Administrator and reinstall the FrontPage Server
Extensions. The content folder will be updated automatically.
NOTE: Microsoft recommends that you do not put the content directly in the
\Vermeer or the \Program Files\Microsoft FrontPage folder. Although Microsoft
does not recommend this alternative, you can create a subfolder in the \Vermeer
or the \Program Files\Microsoft FrontPage folder if you want to store your pages
in these folders.
