[Resolving Web server conflicts on Port 80
A conflict on Port 80 occurs when both the FrontPage Personal Web Server (PWS) and another Web server are configured to use Port 80. Having two Web servers configured to use the same port number usually happens when you have the PWS configured for your computer and decide to install and configure a production Web server. Follow the procedure below to uninstall the PWS from Port 80 and configure the new Web sever to Port 80.
1. Run the FrontPage Server Administrator by using the Windows Explorer to open the FrontPage installation folder (by default C:\Program Files\Microsoft FrontPage).
- Double click the icon for the FrontPage Server Administrator. (You can also run the FrontPage Server Administrator directly by selecting Run on the Start menu; the FrontPage Server Administrator is typically installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft FrontPage\version3.0\bin\fpsrvwin.exe.)
2. To uninstall the FrontPage Server Extensions from the FrontPage PWS on Port 80, click Port 80 in the Select Port Number list, then click the Uninstall button.
3. Click the Install button to Install the FrontPage Server Extensions on your new Web server.
4. Choose your web server from the Server Type pulldown, then click OK.
5. Follow any further instructions displayed by the FrontPage Server Administrator. To use the content of your existing FrontPage PWS, you must reconfigure the PWS to run on a different port. Follow the procedure below to reconfigure your PWS to run on a different port:
6. Open the FrontPage PWS configuration file (by default C:\FrontPage Webs\server\conf\httpd.cnf).
7. Change the line that reads "Port 80" to "Port 8080", then save the file. It is best to use Port 8080, because FrontPage 97 will automatically start the FrontPage PWS if it runs on either port 80 or 8080; however, choose a different port (for example 8088) if you have another Web server running on port 8080.
8. Run the FrontPage Server Administrator by using the Windows Explorer to open the FrontPage installation folder (by default C:\Program Files\Microsoft FrontPage).
- Double click the FrontPage Server Administrator icon.
9. Click the Install button to Install the FrontPage Server Extensions on your PWS.
10. Choose FrontPage Personal Web Server from the Server Type pulldown, then click OK.
11. Type the location of your FrontPage PWS configuration file (by default C:\FrontPage Webs\server\conf\httpd.cnf), or click the Browse button to browse for this file (typically you can choose httpd.cnf from the first browse screen). Click OK, then follow any further instructions displayed by the FrontPage Server Administrator.
12. To use the FrontPage Explorer to open a web on your PWS, select the Open Existing FrontPage Web option in the Getting Started with Microsoft FrontPage dialog box, or choose File: Open FrontPage Web. Then, append :8080 (or your port number) to the server name before clicking the List Webs button.
13. To copy the webs from your FrontPage PWS to your new Web server on Port 80, choose File: Publish FrontPage Web.
