Here are tips for publishing in FrontPage and for keeping the FrontPage extensions happy and working smoothly.

* DO wait until your domain name has propagated before attempting to publish your web site. You should be able to browse to http://yourdomain.com (substitute your own domain name) and see your site on the new web host. A new or recently transferred domain name may take 24-72 hours to start working.

* DO make sure you have installed the FrontPage extensions in the Lunarpages control panel.

* DO use FrontPage to publish your site by selecting the File menu and choosing Publish Site. Publish to web address http://yourdomain.com (substitute your domain name, don't use www).

* DO NOT use third-party FTP programs to transfer files to your web site. Use only FrontPage HTTP publishing.

* DO NOT attempt to password protect a folder using the htaccess method or the Lunarpages control panel. Doing so will rewrite the htaccess file and may cause the FrontPage extensions to stop working. If you want to password protect a folder, do it "The FrontPage Way."

* DO NOT manually edit the htaccess file or perform tasks in the Lunarpages control panel that cause the htaccess file to be modified (this rule may be violated by experts who are willing and able to deal with the consequences.) If you do choose to edit the htaccess file, add the new lines to the end of the file and do not edit the original FrontPage lines.

FrontPage has been discontinued.
If you plan to stay with FrontPage, consider upgrading to FrontPage 2003 now.

Search the Microsoft KB for error messages:
http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx?catalog=LCID%3D1033&spid=919&adv=1

Microsoft groups have additional FrontPage assistance:

I am tring to publish my site using FrontPage. When I go to publish, I do the following:
Click on Remote Website Tab
Click on FrontPage or Sharepoint Services
Enter http://dawngrist.com
Click OK
Then I get an error message..
"Unable to open "http://dawngrist.com"
Server Error: The web server at "http://dawngrist.com does not appear to have windows sharpoint service installed.

Before you ask, I did go into control panel and install the frontpage extensions.

Can anyone help me I am getting really frustrated.
