Do Not Delete Server Extension Directories (_vti...)

When you use an FTP program to log in to your Web Hosting Account, you will see several directories whose names start with an underscore (_). You will also see _vti directories throughout your site. If you delete these directories FrontPage will no longer work for your Web Hosting site.

If you have accidentally (or intentionally) deleted your FrontPage Server Extension directories, you can reinstall them using the procedure below.

To recreate FrontPage extensions:

  1. Log in to your Web Hosting Account via FTP.

  2. Open the /conf directory.

  3. Delete the file named httpd.conf

  4. Log out.

  5. Open FrontPage Explorer to www.yourecompany.com (where yourecompany is your domain name).

  6. Log in with your Web Hosting User ID and password.

This will cause your FrontPage extensions to be recreated, and you can administrate your FrontPage Webs as usual.
