HOW TO PUBLISH TO THE MATC SERVER

Before trying to publish your web site, go to page H2-H3 and READ the steps for publishing a site. We will be doing things a bit differently, but this will give you a good idea of what things will look like.

To publish your practice site (or the start to your required Web Site) to our MATC server, you will need a publish destination and a user name and password. Your publish destination site will becoming in an email to your MATC email account. Please be sure to look for that email. You will also receive a username and password in this email.

Publish site: http://stuweb.matcmadison.edu/FPSW_merkes/ yourlastname
Name student066 (example only)
password web066 (example only)

1. Start FrontPage and be sure your Web Site is open from your H: drive (or where you store your Web files C:).

2. Select File, Publish Web Site. Be sure "FrontPage or SharePoint Services" is selected. In the "Remote Web Site Location" type in the complete web address. For example: http://stuweb.matcmadison.edu/FPSW_merkes/YOURLASTNAME Click OK

3. A dialog box will request your user name and password. Enter in the user name and password I emailed you and your website should appear (as shown on page H-3 figure H-2).

4. In the lower right of the screen, be sure "Local to Remote" is selected.

5. Click Publish Web Site in the Lower right corner of screen. This takes a minute or two depending on the size of your Web site.

6. In the "published" side (the right side), look at the default.htm file and the index.htm file. Right click on the index.htm file and rename it default.htm

7. Go to Internet Explorer, http://studentweb.matcmadison.edu/FPSW_merkes/ Click on your last name on the Student Web Site page. You will now be at the MATC Server and your Web page should be showing. Check the links to be sure they are working properly. You can also go to http://studentweb.matcmadison.edu/FPSW_merkes/ and view other student’s pages. You might want to add this website to your Favorites, so that you can access the website quickly.
