FP98: How to Move FrontPage PWS Content to Another Drive

MORE INFORMATION

1. Start the Server Administrator. The icon you use to start the FrontPage Server Administrator is located in the Microsoft FrontPage program group on Windows NT 3.51. In Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, the icon is located in the directory where you installed FrontPage.
2. Click Uninstall.
3. Copy the \FrontPage Webs directory to the new drive. If you are moving from drive C to drive D, move the entire \FrontPage Webs directory from drive C to drive D.
4. Using a text editor, such as Notepad, open the httpd.cnf file in the \FrontPage Webs\Server\conf folder. This file specifies the location of the FrontPage Server.
5. Modify the "ServerRoot" line so that it specifies the new drive location of the server. For example, if you are moving the server from drive C to drive D, change this line so that it looks like this: ServerRoot D:/FrontPage webs/server/ NOTE: The slashes should be written in UNIX format (/). If the path to the file contains spaces, it should be preceded by a backslash (\). For example, C:\FrontPage Webs\content is written as follows: C:/FrontPage\ Webs/content
6. Save and close the httpd.cnf file. NOTE: This change affects just the FrontPage Personal Web Server. Steps 7 through 10 change the location of the Web content directory.
7. Using a text editor, such as Notepad, open the Srm.cnf file. This file specifies the location of the server content. It is located in the following default location: FrontPage Webs\Server\Conf
8. Modify the "DocumentRoot" line so that it specifies the new location of your content. For example, if you are moving the server from drive C to drive D, change this line so that it looks like this: DocumentRoot D:/FrontPage webs/content NOTE: The slashes should be written in UNIX format (/). If the path to the file contains spaces, it should be preceded by a backslash (\). For example, C:\FrontPage Webs\content is written as follows: C:/FrontPage\ Webs/content
9. Save and close the Srm.cnf file.
10. Restart the Server Administrator.
11. Click Install and select the httpd.cnf file on the new drive.
