FP2000: Changes to Home Page Are Not Displayed After Publishing (310675)

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Rename the Page

Rename your intended home page as one of the IIS default documents. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Start Microsoft FrontPage 2000, and then open the Web that you want.
2. Under Folder List, double-click the page that you want to display as the site's home page.
3. On the File menu, click Save As.
4. In the File name box, type default.htm, and then click Save.
5. Quit FrontPage 2000.

Method 2: Add the Page as a Default Document

Add the Web page that you want to display as the site's home page to the IIS default document list. To do this, follow these steps.

NOTE: Because there are several versions of Microsoft Windows, the following steps may be different on your computer. If they are, see your product documentation to complete these steps.

1. Log on to the Web server computer as Administrator.
2. Start Internet Services Manager (which also opens an IIS window).
3. Expand *Server name, where Server name is the name of the server computer.
4. Right-click the virtual server that you want (for example, Default Web Site), and then click Properties on the shortcut menu that appears.
5. Click the Documents tab, and then click Add.
6. In the Default Document Name box, type the file name of the document that you want. For example, type Homepage.htm.
7. Click OK.
8. Repeatedly click the upward-pointing arrow to move the new default document to the top of the list.
9. Click OK.
10. If an Inheritance Overrides dialog box appears, click the nodes contained in the Web site that you want to configure to use the same default document type, and then click OK. For example, if you want to specify a different file name for the starting Web page in a subweb, do not select any items in the Child Nodes list.
11. Quit IIS.
