    Could not find a server on port 80

    My os is Vista, and I have frontpage 2002 and expression web 1 installed on my computer. All of a sudden, I am no longer able to publish my websites. I have several hosted with netfirms and one hosted with omnis. The message from Netfirms is  "Could not find a server on port 80." The message from Omnis is "...make sure the server has front page server extensions or share point services installed." and additonal info under details which mention http, 404, etc.

    This must be a problem with my computer, but I'm not sure what I've done to cause it. Could anyone offer any suggestions. I've looked up several options using google, but I'm still at a loss.

    Hi lauraty,

    Welcome to the forums! Smile

    This message almost always means that the FrontPage extensions are either not installed on the server or are installed but corrupted. This would be a problem on the host server computer..but not your local computer. Many hosting packages come with a control panel that let you install/uninstall/repair the FrontPage extensions on your hosting account. I believe they are telling you that you need to check that out and install them again.

    If you don't have that option..or don't know how to do it..please ask them to help you with it.
