Manage your FPSE Site permissions without using FrontPage 2003

Kathleen Anderson — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 13:32:38 GMT

I found this post on the Expression Web Team blog this morning. If you are using Expression Web, and publishing to a server with the FrontPage Server Extension installed, you may not know there is a way to manage your FPSE Site permissions without using FrontPage 2003. There is, and the post explains how.

Expression Web 2 Beta - "FrontPage" Design Time Includes are back

Kathleen Anderson — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 17:22:00 GMT

One of the reasons I haven't used Expression Web as my main design tool is the lack of a built-in feature comparable to the FrontPage Design Time Include Component. I'm happy to report that the Include function is back in the Expression Web 2 Beta. It's not a button on the Standard Toolbar, but there is a way to add it and the functionality is there. It works the same way it does in FrontPage 2003.

WEBCAST: Introducing Internet Information Server 7 for Developers

Kathleen Anderson — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 21:10:49 GMT

Learn about new developer features that help make Internet Information Server (IIS) 7 the most flexible, extensible and customizable Web server on the planet. We have rebuilt the extensibility model for IIS7 to be more modular and customizable. We’ll cover the new extensibility architecture in IIS7. In IIS7, the core IIS web server functionality is implemented using the same platform that you will use to build your extensions to the server. We’ll also show off the new distributed configuration system and how easy it is to deploy applications, including IIS configuration, through simple XCopy deployment. You’ll learn about improved support in IIS7 for common Web programming languages like PHP as well as how to do applications using the best of PHP and ASP.NET.

You've upgraded to IE 7 and now FrontPage won't save your userid and password when publishing to remote servers

Kathleen Anderson — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 15:49:00 GMT

The fix that worked for me has two parts:

1. Bring up your remote site in IE 7. Then go to Tools > Internet Options > Security > Trusted Sites > Sites and Add your site to the list. Then Close > Apply > OK. You may need to restart IE 7 for this to take effect.

2. In IE 7, Tools > Internet Options > Security > Trusted Sites > Custom Level > User Authentication > Logon > Automatic logon with current Username and password and then OK your way back out.

You've upgraded to IE 7 and now you can't open your FrontPage web sites under localhost

Kathleen Anderson — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 15:37:00 GMT

This happened to me yesterday and I remembered that Rob Giordano (Crash), a Microsoft MVP for Expression Web, had discovered and shared the solution in the microsoft.public.frontpage.client newsgroup.

FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) for IIS7 RC0 Released

Kathleen Anderson — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 21:17:00 GMT

From BillS' IIS Blog, FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) for IIS7 RC0 have been released. I still haven't upgraded any of my PCs to Vista yet, but this gets me one step closer. The other thing that needs to happen before I upgrade is that the Vista team has to fix the crash that happens when inserting hyperlinks in FrontPage 2003.

FrontPage Server Extensions on Vista and Longhorn

Kathleen Anderson — Fri, 09 Feb 2007 13:05:00 GMT

Posted Thursday, February 08, 2007 2:20 PM by Robert McMurray's Blog [MSFT]

Filed under IIS Topics, FrontPage Topics

As most people that have installed IIS 7 on Windows Vista or Windows codenamed "Longhorn" have realized, there are no options to install the FrontPage Server Extensions, leaving the only possibly way to edit your web site that is hosted on a Vista/Longhorn computer is to edit the web site locally using the file system, or to use FTP to upload your files to a remote Vista/Longhorn computer.

The FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) 2002 are part of the Office XP system of products. The Office XP system, including FPSE 2002, left mainstream support on July 11th, 2005, according to the Office lifecycle policy. At that time, the FrontPage Server Extensions were removed from the Microsoft Download Center. Office policy is to remove software from the Download Center that is no longer supported. This policy allows us to focus our support efforts on the latest technologies. FPSE 2002 continues to be available on Windows Server 2003 in the Add Windows Components section of the Add/Remove Programs control panel.

FPSE 2002 will continue to be supported by security updates through the end of the extended support period, and all existing security content will remain available. For more information on the support lifecycle policy, see the Microsoft Lifecycle web page at the following URL:

http://support.microsoft.com/?pr=lifecycle

Because Microsoft realizes that the FrontPage Server Extensions are essential to many web hosting companies, the Internet Information Services product team is researching the development of an updated version of FPSE 2002 that will work with Microsoft Windows codenamed "Longhorn" and Microsoft Windows Vista.

Attn: Gemstream Hosting – FrontPage is not at "End-of-Life"

Kathleen Anderson — Fri, 08 Dec 2006 14:26:00 GMT

Jim Boykin wrote in October that he'd received an email from Gemstream Hosting with the subject line of "FrontPage End-of-Life". In the email they said: "Microsoft has discontinued support and future updates for their Linux/Unix-based FrontPage extensions. Changing to a Windows-based hosting server is not an option, as Microsoft is also discontinuing support for Windows extensions as well."

Can someone let Genstream know that Microsoft is not discontinuing support for the FrontPage Server Extensions on Windows Server 2003? As stated here: http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=3198 mainstream support [for Windows Server 2003] will end two years after the next version of this product is released. Extended support will end five years after mainstream support ends.

I have been told by my contact at Microsoft that the FrontPage Server Extensions for Windows Server 2003 are under the same support lifecycle as Windows 2003 Server itself.

So it would appear to me (depending on when you believe that Longhorn Server will be released) that we have at 3 to 4 more years of mainstream FPSE support for our sites running on Windows Server 2003.

FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions for Windows are available again - from Microsoft Support

Kathleen Anderson — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 21:36:00 GMT

The FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 web download is not available anymore from the Microsoft web sites. This is due to the fact that the mainstream support for FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 web download which follows the Office XP/FrontPage 2002 life cycle expired on 7/11/2006. The following article explains the timelines: http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=1902

However, we understand that customers might need this download in situations where existing FPSE2002 installations are hampered in one way or the other. Considering this, it may be possible to obtain this download for reinstallation purposes only if you call MS support.

If you need an (additional) incentive to apply Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-017, here it is

Kathleen Anderson — Tue, 16 May 2006 19:04:00 GMT

In addition to fixing some security issues, MS06-017 has an extra bonus feature that will please FrontPage users that develop locally on IIS under Windows XP - it fixes the 'Update All Pages" function for DWTs.

Here's the text from the KB article that came out last fall when the hotfix was released for Windows Server 2003: When you save changes to a Dynamic Web Template (.dwt) file, all the Web pages that are linked to the .dwt file may not be changed. This problem occurs when the .dwt file is part of a Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions (FPSE) from Microsoft Web site that is running on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer.

Apply MS06-017 to your Windows XP Pro PC running IIS and FPSE2002 and the problem is fixed.
