question about Frontpage extensions on Cpanel servers
Hi.
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what exactly needs to be the address that users should enter in their Frontpage to publish the files on their account..
example,
We have a user 'johndoe' with the domain johnode.com
The servers' IP address is 123.123.123.123
The user's home directory is /home/johndoe/
The html directory is /home/johndoe/public_html/
On to my question.. What would be the 'address' the user needs to enter in their Frontpage application when trying to publish their files:
a) before their domain resolves (using the ip, if it's possible?)
b) once their domains resolves
I hope my question is clear enough, if not please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Thanks Erik !
Just to confirm though, you are running cPanel servers, right?
From what I've read on that page, it's not what I expected ..
eg.
ftp://SERVERNAME.ecphosting.net/public_html
replace SERVERNAME with the name of your server:
public_html right after the domain? Hmm ..
OR if your domain has already been updated
by DNS servers, you may enter:
http://www.yourdomain.com
http? Hmm..
I guess Frontpage is just weird, I'm sure both things are correct or you wouldn't have put them in your support section
Once again, thanks

I believe that youd have to wait till the domain is resolved, then use www.domain.com
Just my input

If you have put their site on its own IP they can simply put the IP address. If you put them on a shared IP address they will have to wait for their domain to resolve.
If it is an emergency for them make a subdomain of your account and then edit the httpd.conf file to make that subdomain point to their web directory. Then they can use that subdomain of your account until their domain resolves.

You don't have to wait for the domain to resolve.
If you have a cpanel server have them publish to this address:
ftp://111.111.111.111/%2f/public_html
Replace the IP address with your own. This will publish their site into their public_html directory.
They can preview it at http://111.111.111.111/~theiruserid
Hope that helps you out.

Pilgrim, so is it:
ftp://SERVERNAME.domain.com/public_html
or what you said with the %2f
what's that about anyway?

It is wishdom that comes straight from the microsoft faq and better yet.... IT WORKS! (yay!)
I am unfamiliar with the other url but that is not to say that will not work either.
Why not just try to publish one file using one of the url's and see if it ends up in the right place?

%2f is Hex code for a forward slash.
Although URL's using a double forward slash usually work (i.e., http://domain.com//directory) it's usually best not to. Mind you, this could be another "MS Thingy" they are famous for -- just to confuse (people) & amuse (MS).• PotentProducts.com - for all your Hosting needs
