FP: Switching from FP Personal Web Server to Microsoft PWS

• Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
• Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows with Bonus Pack

SUMMARY

If you want to write your own Custom Gateway Interface (CGI), Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI), or Internet Database Connector (IDC) scripts or programs, you must upgrade to the Microsoft Personal Web server and switch your existing content to this server.

Step-by-step instructions for switching your existing content to the Microsoft Personal Web Server are available from the following sources:

• The FrontPage compact disc (look in the \PWS\UPGRADE directory).
• The Microsoft Personal Web Server Setup program: If the FrontPage Personal Web Server is currently configured to work with FrontPage, you can access the step-by-step instructions when you install the Microsoft Personal Web Server.
• The Microsoft FrontPage Web site at:

        http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage/upgrade/engupgrade.htm
  

  NOTE: Because the Microsoft Web site is constantly updated, the site address may change without notice. If this occurs, link to the Microsoft home page at the following address:

        http://www.microsoft.com/
