Too many local copies of my website - 8/15/2003 9:20:21
I'm a FrontPage newbie, as is apparent from the mess I'm in. following the (poor) instructions in a FrontPage 2002 book which shall be nameless, I tried to publish my websites to my hard disk using Import Web Wizard. Due to incomplete instructions and my own incompetence, I now have three copies of one of my websites published to my disk, and I can't delete them. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the extra copies? The pic tells the story. Two copies called thesteamtunnels.net, the third copy I named TST in a bumbling effort just to LOCATE the darn things.
Well, I guess there won't be a picture, I can't figure out how to put it in. What I know about coding is zero. Don't need it anyway, I don't think.

Well, I tried. What's wrong with this? Pic doesn't show on the preview.

Welcome to OutFront!!

Is it a supported file type (the upload utility states what types are supported)?
Is it under the KB limit set (the upload utility states the maximum allowed)?
Just some thoughts,

I thought the code would show on the post. It's a .jpg, 19.8 kb. Between the image tags I put
http:// www. thesteamtunnels.net. problem.jpg .htm
the extra spaces are to assure that it will show here. I tried it also without the .htm, didn't show on the preview that way either.
What's the upload utility? Help!

Look for a file under your Microsoft foder called Server Extensions Administrator. This will allow you to delete any webs.
I would not ever use the Import feature. If your site is on a host, I would open it live and then publish it to your pc. If you just want to make a backup, then zip the entire directory your site resides in and store it on a cd.
Hope this helps.

Gene-
Your advice would be very helpful, if I could find Server Extensions Administrator. I guess I'm starting from farther back than both you and I thought. I've looked everywhere I can think of, I find nothing of that nature. You say "your Microsoft folder". Is that my 'C;/program files/Microsoft' folder? There's nothing in it like that. A search in Windows Explorer turned up nothing. FrontPage does not appear to have anything like that, nothing that I can find, anyway. I guess I need a little more help, please.

Ok. Lets try this. Do you have a folder on your start menu that is called Administrative Tools?
If so, then Server Extensions Administrator should be in there.
If not, then search your HD for this file...
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\40\bin\FPMMC.MSC"
FPMMC is the file.

Thanks for your help. I don't know what I'd do if I hadn't found this forum.
The message that I got from betheball fixed the problem, but I'm wondering if I'm missing something that I ought to have. I followed your instructions, but I have no such file. I can get all the way to 40\bin\, and although there are several files that start with fp there, none of them are even close. There is a further folder, 1033, in it is a file, fpext.msg. That one looks promising, but it tells me that I don't have permission to enter.
Since the problem is fixed, I guess this is just nattering, but am I missing something I'm going to need someday?

Thank you for your answer. At the bottom of my screen it says 'Upload requires at least 30 posts'. So I guess that answers my question, doesn't it? I'll have to wait for that magic post number 30 to upload.
