Resolving Web server conflicts on Port 80

A conflict on port 80 occurs when both the FrontPage Personal Web Server (PWS) and another Web server are configured to use port 80. Having two Web servers configured to use the same port number usually happens when you have the PWS configured for your computer, and then decide to install and configure a production Web server on Port 80.

1	Launch the Server Extensions Administrator. Locate the root web of the Web server configured on port 80.

2	In the console tree, right-click the root web from which you want to remove the server extensions.

3	Click Task on the shortcut menu, and then click Remove Server Extensions.

4	If you want to install the server extensions on port 80 of an IIS 4.0 or later Web server, locate the server in the console tree of the Internet Service Manager. Right-click the server, click Task on the shortcut menu, and then click Configure Server Extensions. If the Web server is not IIS 4.0 or later, locate your computer node in the Server Extensions Administrator, right-click the node, click New on the shortcut menu, and then click Web.

To use the content of your existing Personal Web Server, you must reconfigure it to run on a different port:

5	Open the FrontPage Personal Web Server configuration file, Httpd.cnf, which is located by default at C:\FrontPage Webs\Server\Conf\Httpd.cnf.

6	Change the line that reads "Port 80" to "Port 8080," then save the file. (Port 8080 is recommended because FrontPage will automatically start the Personal Web Server if it is running on this port.) If port 8080 is already in use, choose a different port number.

7	Launch the Server Extensions Administrator. Locate your computer's node, right-click it, click New on the shortcut menu, and then click Web.

8	Choose the FrontPage Personal Web Server from the list of available servers.

To open a web from your FrontPage Personal Web Server, append the port number to the server name. To copy the webs from your FrontPage Personal Web Server to your new Web server, use the FrontPage Publish Web command.
