error message on front Page 98 since upgrading my OS from Windows 98 to Windows 2000

[Michael J. Maher]

I am getting an error message on front Page 98 since upgrading my OS from Windows 98 to Windows 2000. The message occurs when I try to save changes in FP EDITOR. The message roughly says..."there is no server on port 80 at PC" and I am unable to save changes or for that matter publish changes

I am preparing to install FP2003 after being a FP98 user for a few yearsz. Is it advisable to uninstall the FP98 application before installing FP2003
I maintain two published web sites. How will I import my websites into FP 2003
Before uninstalling FP98 how do I make sure I can reopen my web sites in FP 2003.

I am getting an error message on front Page 98 since
upgrading my OS from Windows 98 to Windows 2000. The
message occurs when I try to save changes in FP EDITOR.
The message roughly says..."there is no server on port 80
at PC" and I am unable to save changes or for that matter
publish changes.

You need the copy of IIS that comes with Windows 2000,
install the FP2002 server extensions, and then use thta
Web server to host your development Web site.

I am preparing to install FP2003 after being a FP98 user
for a few yearsz. Is it advisable to uninstall the FP98
application before installing FP2003?

This is up to you.

I maintain two published web sites. How will I import my
websites into FP 2003.

Choose Open Web Site from the File menu.

Before uninstalling FP98 how do I make sure I can reopen
my web sites in FP 2003.

Either install FP2003 on a different computer, or run both
versions on the same computer.
