Frontpage Extensions - cPanel Tutorial Ch.17

Frontpage extensions can be viewed as very valuable tool when it comes to the actual publishing of your website.  These combined programs give a user the freedom to publish the entire website through a Frontpage.  This can simply be done by uploading a web page on your hosting server and clicking the “Publish Frontpage Web” button.  To successfully complete this process Frontpage extensions must first be installed onto your hosting account.  By accessing this area you will no longer need to upload files via FTP or other files transfer methods.  

SETTING UP YOUR FRONT PAGE EXTENSIONS

Setting up Frontpage extensions is a simple process performed within your cPanel.  Follow the directions below:

- Log into your hosting account to find your Frontpage extensions
- Locate the “Manage Accounts” icon and click it
- You will now notice a detailed list of all your accounts.  A button labeled “manage” should be positioned next to each account.  Select the account you wish to reach from the panel and click on “manage”
- This action will bring you to a page that displays a list of control functions that relate to that account.  Find the icon that reads “Access my cPanel to manage my accounts” then click the “go” button.
- This will prompt a screen that requests both the user ID and password for your primary cPanel account.  Fill in the appropriate fields and log into the system
- After logging in you will notice a “Frontpage extensions” icon located in the middle of your screen, click on it.

After clicking this you will see a warning message that resembles the following text:

 
It is recommended that you DO NOT install FrontPage Extensions on your account unless you intend to publish your site directly from the FrontPage application. Uninstalling the extensions from the main domain will uninstall the extensions from all subdomains and addon domains. Uninstalling will also remove all .htaccess files in your web root (public_html). You must have the extensions installed on the main domain before they can be installed on any subdomains or addon domains.
Installing or uninstalling FrontPage Extensions will result in the loss of all .htaccess files in your web area. Any directories you have protected with WebProtect will become unprotected until you set them for protection again.

After moving on you will see the current status of your extensions including those installed and those not installed.  Since we are looking to setup your Frontpage extensions you will click on the “Install Extensions” button to begin the procedure.  In the event that Frontpage extensions were already installed you would uninstall them and click the “Clean up old extensions” button.  You can then reinstall Frontpage extensions from that point.  
Remember that the installation of Frontpage extensions does not require you to enter user ID’s and passwords but the uploading through a front page will.  

NOTE:  If you created a number of subdomains through your main domain and wish to add Frontpage extensions onto them you will need to activate Frontpage extensions for each individual subdomain.
