Cobalt Qube 3 User Manual 43
Developing Web pages
The Qube 3 automatically provides a default home page for each individual user
and each group. It also supports a broad range of Web publishing capabilities that
allow both novice and expert users to build and publish custom Web pages.
FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions
The Qube 3 includes the FrontPage® 2000 Server Extensions, which allow you
to use the FrontPage client application to publish and edit Web content easily.
You can create and post Web pages using standard style templates and pre-
configured tools—including form processing and search tools. It is not necessary
to know anything about FTP or other file transfer protocols.
The Qube 3 Administrator can enable Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions for
Web page development on the root Web site.
When you enable FrontPage Server Extensions on the Qube 3, a FrontPage client
webmaster account is created and you must provide a password for the
webmaster account. See “Web settings” on page 141.
The “webmaster” account simply means that when you log in to the root web
(http://<your.host.domain>/) using FrontPage, your user name is webmaster and
the password is whatever you entered in the Web Settings table.
If FrontPage Server Extensions are enabled, the Web Settings table shows a
check box indicating that the feature is enabled. If you disable FrontPage Server
Extensions and save the changes, the Web Settings table refreshes to show the
feature as disabled and a webmaster password field is now displayed in the table.
If you re-enable FrontPage Server Extensions, you must provide a password
again.
✍-
Note: To access your home page, enter the URL
http://<hostname>/~<username>/, where <hostname> is the fully
qualified domain name of your Qube 3 and <username> is your
user name on the Qube 3.
You must include the tilde mark (~) before your user name.
✍
Note: The webmaster account does NOT have Web, email or FTP
service. It is simply an account to use in the FrontPage client.
