FP: "No Server on Port ..." Error Opening, Creating Web Page (150684)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows with Bonus Pack
- Microsoft FrontPage for Windows 1.1
This article was previously published under Q150684 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to create a new Web or open an existing Web in
FrontPage Explorer, the following message appears:
There is no server on port <port number> at '<Server name>'
where <port number> is the port to which your server is connected.
CAUSE
The auto-launch feature of the FrontPage Personal Web Server functions only when
the server is running from port 80.
WORKAROUND
If your FrontPage Personal Web Server is installed on a port other than 80,
start the Personal Web Server before you work with FrontPage Explorer.
MORE INFORMATION
If you are using FrontPage 1.0 and you choose the full installation of
FrontPage 1.1 (as opposed to the upgrade), the FrontPage Personal Web
Server 1.1 is installed to port 8080.
FrontPage 98 expanded the auto-launch feature so it will work with the
FrontPage Personal Web Server if it is configured to use port 8080. However,
other possible port configurations, such as port 8088, still require you to
manual launch the server (Vhttpd32.exe) from the appropriate folder.
