We had a previous host go out of business and I cannot figure out how to replicate our web management setup on any other host using FB 2003. The previous setup had two sites, a production site and a staging site - both on the remote host, both could be previewed from FP2000/2002. FP 2003 seems to DEMAND that the staging site be local to the PC which I do not want to do because I cannot preview the ASP pages locally. We do not yet have an inhouse IIS up and running and attempts at using a localhost have not been successful (I cannot get the current staging site to FTP download to a local site and work as a viewable site). I saw in some posts that I cannot use FTP to move sites if I want to use FP2003 - is that the case? We don't use anything but HTML and some JavaScripting for menu navigation. How can I transfer my existing site on a remote host to a discountASP.Net site using FP2003? FYI here is the staging site: http://slocleanair.eastaging.com/ =========== I guess I have two issues here - transfer from the current staging site to discountASP.Net and the on-going need to use two remotes sites for staging and production (both on discountASP.Net). How do I handle the second issue - two remote discountASP.Net sites for staging and production using FP2003 to publish between them? Do I need to revert to FP2002? TIA
You can use FTP to move files even with FrontPage enabled, but you need to take several precaution a) Enable FrontPage extension before you FTP files. If not, Frontpage will not install correctly. b) make sure you do not remove the _vti directory that already exists. I think you can open the staging site directly and publish to your production site. Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
OK, sounds good. Is it possible to have a staging and a production site (\dev and \www) on a single disocuntASP.NET account? Can FP2003 be used to edit the staging site (with full preview) and publish to the production site?
