Open the web as a server based web - File->open Site and choose or type
in
http://localhost
If necessary open the subweb containing the folder.
Run Tools->Recalculate Hyperlinks
Then convert the folder.
Always open the site as server based.

I guess I'm not stating the situation correctly. In FP I have several
Sub Webs created a while back. I want to create/convert this folder
to
a web on my own local machine, which is running IIS, but I continue to
get that error that I can not create a disk based web because its
parent
would not be a disk based web.
Earl
Your web host must support / allow you to create subwebs / sites

I have XP Pro, I have IIS installed. I can open with localhost. I
was
thinking
that I should be able to work in FrontPage (2000) and do things
like
converting a folder to a Web. The folder in question has been
"published"
to the online server, but still can't convert it to a web.
Earl
You must have a web server installed on your pc. If you are using
WinXP
Home, it does not have a web server. If WinXP Pro, you can
install
the
IIS web server from Add/Remove programs | Add/Remove Windows
Components
or from the Win XP Pro CD.
Then, you must open your browser and open the server based web via
http,
such as:
http://localhost/mywebname etc., depending on you you have it set
up.

I had to be away for a while.
OK, I ran the Allow Security To Be Tightened (FP2000), it did
recreate
a
file (_vti_inf.html) but I still get the html code when Preview
in
Browser.
I'm ready to let this one expire.
I did attempt recently to Convert a folder to Web and was unable
to
do
so because it being a disk based web.
How do I change or open FP as a Web Based web instead of a
Disk Based?
Earl
You may have corrupted the extensions by opening the web as a
disc
based web.
If you have FP2002 extensions installed, use
Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Microsoft SharePoint
Administrator
Click Administration for your web site (Default web) then Go to
administration page.
Run check server health, and check all the boxes.
If FP2000 extensions, use
Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Internet Information
Services
Expand the folder tree in left column
Right click on web site (Default Web Site)
Choose All Tasks->Check Server extensions
Allow security to be tightened.

OK, instead of clicking the Open Folder Icon, I click File and
my
option
is to "Open Web" vs "Open Site". I click "Open Web", type in
http://localhost. I then load the file, Preview In Browser
with
the
same
results
I've been getting... the html code.
I "Open Web", type in
http://localhost/test.asp and get an
error
that it is
not
accessible.
Earl
When you open it like that you're opening it as a disk-based
web.
You
need to open it in FrontPage as File, Open Site,
http:\\localhost
This
will open it as a server-based web and now you should be able
to
test your
ASP pages.
I think I understand, but check me out... I open FrontPage.
In the File Name box I enter: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.asp
FrontPage opens and my test.asp page appears.
I click Preview In Browser.
The html code appears.
I refresh.
The screen is blank.
Earl
Preview in browser "Will" work for .asp files, but "Only"
if
you
have
opened the site and page in FrontPage using the
http://localhost/webname
address.

Then "Preview In Browser" does not work for .asp or .php
files??
Earl
That's how you are supposed to view it.
I do have IIS installed on my machine, so when I do
open
IE
and go
to
http://localhost the page displays correctly.
