Removing Frontpage to replace with simple HTML only site - 5/6/2009 2:56:07
Hi,
Hope some one can help... I've agreed to help maintain a small charity website and have adapted their existing site in HTML.
They originally used Frontpage to manage the site, yet now no one has this program (including myself).
It is a really simple static site and it would be much easier to just use simple html. Everytime I try to adapt the site it just doesn't work as I'm guessing Frontpage is directing everything.
I just want to completely remove Frontpage and strip the site down to a 10 page html based site.
Please can someone let me know how to remove all Frontpage elements to have a simple clean site.
Many, many thanks,
Dxbluey

Hi - I had thought just to delete all the old html data and replace with the new.
However it just seemed to "recreate" everything... some html files were updated but some not.
I tried replacing in both the www directory and the html_public to little joy.
The top level directory structure is this:
.cpadons
.cpanel
.cpanel-datastore
.cpcpan
.fantisticodata
.htpasswds
.MirrorSearch
.rvskin
.ssh
.trash
access-logs
etc
images
mail
public ftp
public_html
testsite (i added this)
tmp
www
I tried to test getting around the frontpage by uploading my new html files to the testsite directory and then tried loading in a browser with the full correct url ending /testsite/index.html and it returns the error:
The requested URL /testsite/index.html was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8i DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at www.***mysite etc****.com Port 80
I'm at a loss, I am very much an amatuer at web, but shuold be able to set up a simple html site!
Thanks again!

A quick check - you mention removing all the FP - can I check what exactly I should remove....
I've found some whysiwg php files and a _vti_inf.html file and a .htaccess file in the www directory
Sorry for being clueless, but I have no experience of FP and am not clear exactly what is safe to remove.
Here is the original untouched index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

RE: Removing Frontpage to replace with simple HTML only... - 5/6/2009 7:09:38
I've set up my other own photoblog with Wordpress and am very happy with it. On this charity site I'm looking to update it with Joomla soon but I'm manic with "normal" work.
I'm just temporarily trying to update in html only until I sort out Joomla - maybe I should just wait and do it all at once. The site does have fanastico installed which is easy...
I edited the files in notepad and fully tested the 10 or so files on my c drive and they work fine.
When I deleted the old files in both the www and html_public directories the site still opperated normally - even though I had deleted index.html and everything... how is that possible?
I uploaded my new files and (some of which had the same names as the old files) like links etc and these only partially updated, rather than working as on my c drive...
It's all a bit strange...
Equally I don't want to wipe their site clean while I mess about with Joomla for a few weeks...!
Thanks for all your input!
