SUMMARY
This step-by-step guide explains how to use the command-line tools to quietly install FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and Microsoft Windows 2000. A quiet installation is one in which you are not prompted and you do not see any messages.
NOTE: This article addresses only how to install the FrontPage Server Extensions.
System requirements
The following list outlines the recommended hardware, software, network infrastructure, and service packs that you will need:
- One of the following configurations:
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 or later and the World Wide Web service installed
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Service Pack 6a or later, with Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 or later and the World Wide Web service installed
- Administrative rights on the server
If you are working remotely, you must have administrative rights on the remote server, and you must have a copy of Owsrmadm on the local computer.
For more information about how to administer remotely, click the Using the Administration Tools Remotely link on the following Microsoft Web site: - Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later
- Between 30 megabytes and 70 megabytes (MB) of available hard disk space
Additional hard disk space is needed to host the Web sites and subwebs your users will create. These requirements are guidelines only, and vary depending on the platform and operating system.
How to customize the Cfgquiet.ini file
To specify the options you want to extend, customize the Cfgquiet.ini file. To do this, follow these steps:
- On the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Notepad.
- On the File menu, click Open.
- Locate and open the Cfgquiet.ini file. By default, this file is located in the root folder.
Change the following items:
NumberofServers Specifies how many servers to configure. It accepts a numerical value, such as 1. IndexServer Controls whether the indexing service is started automatically. The supported values are On and Off. Either value is acceptable; set it according to whether or not you want to use Index Server. VRootMDPath Specifies the metabase path for the Web site you want to extend. The default is /LM/W3SVC/1. Change this only if you have a custom metabase path. Discussions Controls whether Web document discussions are available. The supported values are On and Off. For a setup with FrontPage Server Extensions only, set this value to Off. Notifications Controls whether Web subscriptions are available. The supported values are On and Off. For a setup with FrontPage Server Extensions only, set this value to Off. SiteProvision Specifies the type of installation. For an installion with FrontPage Server Extensions only, set this option to PUBLISH. Because the default is SHAREPTHP, you need to change this for an installation with FrontPage Server Extensions.
- On the File menu, click Save to save your changes.
- On the File menu, click Exit to quit Notepad.
