Overview

Hosting Controller allows various administrative operations to perform on frontpage. This option is available at all the three administrative levels. This topic describes the FrontPage extensions and how to administer it.

FrontPage Server Extensions:

The FrontPage Server Extensions are a set of three programs that support features such as collaborative authoring, hit counters, e-mail form-handling, and editing a Web site directly on a server computer.

The FrontPage® option in HC is a program that you use to administer the FrontPage Server Extensions and FrontPage-extended webs. You can use it to extend virtual servers, create subwebs, upgrade the server extensions on a web, convert folders into subwebs and vice versa, recalculate hyperlinks in a web, and much more.

The Microsoft® FrontPage® MMC snap-in has a complete help system providing FrontPage server extensions overviews and descriptions of server extensions administrative techniques. This help file is installed by default at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\40\bin\nnnn\Fpmmc.chm, where nnnn is a numerical name based on the language in which you installed the FrontPage Server Extensions. For example, in a U.S. English installation, the path is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\40\bin\1033\Fpmmc.chm. Documentation of the server extensions is also available at http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/frontpage/wpp/serk/.
