security settings on new web site

[Karen]

A friend of mine is trying to publish a new commercial web site of which he
is the author, etc... He is using Frontpage 2003. Everything seems to
publish just fine, but when he calls up the published web site, it says he
is not authorized to view the page - one he created! I went to the site
myself and it said the site requires me to login. What has he done wrong in
the publishing and how can he fix it? I publish a couple of small web sites
myself and have never run in to such a thing. Thanks for any help.

If you type a specific page in the address bar that you know is in the
website - can you view it?
If so:
Check with the host that the home page is named correctly.
The home page must be named according to a list held in the server
configuration. On a Windows server this list usually includes
default.htm, default.asp, index.htm. On Unix servers the list is
usually index.html, index.php - but in both cases other names/extensions
may be used as well.

If not:
Check with the host that the web site is browsable by anonymous users.
