am I over my head or what?? Because I have done a bit of web work here and there, I promised a friend I would finish her volunteer work while she went to the bedside of her mother. I sure hope I (with the generous help of all of you) get this right.

Here is what I did last night.

I found this tool on the hard drive called Server Extensions Administrator, clicked it, and this Microsoft Management Console (??) popped up

It showed that the Front Page Extensions and the Microsoft Personal Web server extensions were installed on port 80. I got brave and ran a test and it said all was well.

However, I noticed that my webs did not show up, so I went searching for a folder I saw in there, and found that the webs the Console referred to were in a folder named C:\WEBSHARE ...
So I copied my web site folder from C:\DOCUMENTS over to C:\WEBSHARE

Now when I try to Publish, it says at the bottom of the screen "resolving Publishing destination to www.xxxxx ... and then it stops responding

So I go back and start this other Personal Web Server (miscrosoft?) and try again
and again, everything stops responding
(after I waited for 15 minutes, I got that view from CRTL/ALT/DEL)

so
It looks like I am in the another direction ??

millergroup - I have not yet sent you a PM because of this new development

Can you help me from here?

thank you so much

(I attached the Console results if that helps)

It seems that front page has locked the address to export your web to your own machine, and will not allow you to to publish to a different location.

In front page go to: File>New>Page or Web on the right click on empty web.

After making the new web: File>Import>From Web, check the "From a source directory of files on local computer or network" raido buton..

Browse to the web that you are working on and import it. After it is imported, make sure that every thing is there. (You can usually import the whole web by selecting you index file, every thing else will come with it)

Now: File>Plublish Web. In the publish destination box, type your_domain/root_directory. Hit ok. Front page will auto detect the server and ask for your password info.

Well millergroup
I am truly appreciative of all of your help but I ran into more issues and this one became a mute point

All sorts of things started happening on this machine and after saving all of the data, did a complete system restore.

My biggest woe is that all of a sudden most of the data (outlook, word, excel, etc.) started asking for a password, worst one is Outlook.pst.

There are (and were) all sorts of utilities running on this machine like Spybot, spywareblaster, Hijack this, Norton firewall and antivirus etc, and before I decided on the restore they all showed nothing wrong.

so now I am trying to track down a utility to tell me what the new demonic passwords are (I know they didn't exist before because up until I had this web issue everything was fine)

so thanks. My new install works great and I am off in another direction.

Go to start>run Type cmd, hit enter. Then type: del *.* and hit enter. "Are you sure?" type Y and hit enter.

I entered that and tried publishing. I got the same message up again, "Could not find Web server at 'Hillsdalechurch.org' on port 80. Please check to make sure that the web server name is valid and your proxy settings are set correctly. If you are sure everything is correct, the Web server may be temporarily out of service." I have worked with the Web server and they have updated the file extensions. They do not know where else to have me to look. Any other ideas?

Thanks

IIS Server
Ensure the IIS server is connected. I had been bashing my head against the wall with the same problem. I checked and reinstalled the FP extensions, the application server, and everything else I could think of. Turns out the IIS server just disconnected itself. I reconnected it and everything publish fine.
