xcc -> Changing Local Web Site (6/26/2007 19:41:39)

When I try to Publish to Web it publishes my Local Web Site which is the file system I have for another website. I've tried changing the settings in 'Remote Web Site Properties' and 'Optimize Published HTML' and they only change my Remote Web Site (where I want my files to be published) not my Local Web Site (the files I want published to the web).

I've gone through some of the Help Topics in FP but still can't figure out how to change my Local Web Site.

I appreciate your help.

This is the program acting normally.

?? Sorry, don't understand. If you have separate FP files for each web, the >>File >>Publish Site function will move designated (or all) files from your computer (local) to your host (remote).

Reframe your question if I'm off track [8D]

I wasn't sure if I explained it well either. Would it better if I took screenshots?

When I first open FrontPage and try to open a document, it always opens to the same website folder within My Webs folder. I have several folders for websites within My Webs (maybe that's the problem?). I'll call it Website A.

My file system is set up like:
C:/
>My Webs
>>Website A
>>Website B

So, if I want to work on Website B, I have to 'go up one folder' to get out of the Website A folder to My Webs to get to the folder for Website B.

It's a hassle but I can live with it. The problem is, this same thing happens when I try to Publish Website B.

In Frontpage, the first tab on my screen is 'Web Site' and it reads:
Local Web Site: C:/My Webs/Website A
Remote Web Site: http://www.websiteb.com

In the next tab I'll have open a page for Website B, I click Publish and enter the url and username and password. Then it takes me to the 'Web Site' tab, where the Local Web Site is pointing to Website A, and not Website B.

I just can't figure out how to change where the Local Web Site is pointing to.

Each website, which can contain hundreds of folders, but each must be developed independent of one another. Apparently you have Website A & B in the same site directory which is why the Publish call refers both to http://www.websiteb.com.

FYI: FrontPage, conceptually, can manage hundreds of sites.

Thanks for all your help Larry. Yeah, I really need to clean up my file system.

I closed FP and reopened the program as well as a page for Website B. I tried to Publish and for some reason it worked.

I put in the URL and the sign-in information and the Local Web Site was pointing to the right file system.

I'm going to try publishing some other websites to see if it really works, but so far I'm pretty jazzed.
