FrontPage for Windows VPS
FrontPage Extension was not supported after Windows Server 2003, this specifically applies to those using FP to "Publish" a web. Windows 2008 and 2012 do not native support, however you can still utilize FrontPage to publish with FTP on either. A third party tool is available for installing FrontPage Extensions on Windows 2008 (and soon for 2012) is available for purchase from Ready 2 Run Software.
Their software installs on the Windows 2008 VPS and adds the exact same features for "Extending" FrontPage to a site. Licenses can be purchased directly from the company and installed on your VPS. For adding FrontPage to your server follow these instructions:
- Follow the steps for installing the R2R FrontPage Extensions: http://www.rtr.com/fpse/Win2008R2/R2purchase.htm#Hosted
- Before step 5, calculate the number of sites you will have on the server, NOT just that will use FrontPage. Mocha Panel requires two sites FTP and cpservice for managing your server two additional licenses are required.
- Example, web1.com, web2.com, web3.com, but only web1.com uses FrontPage you will need a license for 5 because their software calculates the TOTAL number of sites within IIS wihch includes FTP and cpservice.
- See pricing information: http://www.rtr.com/fpse/Win2008R2/R2license.htm
- Tip, on the first step of checking out, you will ONLY select the number of "Sub-Webs" needed. The SECOND page allows you to specify the number of SITES to be hosted in IIS.
- After ordering complete the steps to active your licenses - you should notice a Icon on your VPS Desktop named "FrontPage Server Extentions". Use this for Extending FrontPage for any sites.
