I wanted to be able to edit a website on the same pc that has visual studio
2008 installed, and was led to install frontpage server extensions for IIS
7.0 (http://www.iis.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=1630). The
last step of this instalation requires that I use the owsadm.exe command
line, but I'm finding the documentation insufficient to complete the task.

In my case the IIS server is called server and it hosts a website called
depthbydistance.com. I thought the command should be
owsadm.exe -o install -p 80 -w depthbydistance.com
but this results in the error: the server instance specified was not found.
Please specify the server's address and port.

In this case the ip address is 10.10.10.101 (since it is behind a router),
but I could not see where I would enter an option for the server name. No
option was listed for this at this reference:
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/134/install-frontpage-server-extensions/

What would be the correct command line to complete the installation of the
frontpage extensions?

Hi,

Please understand the FPSE on IIS7 is a beta version and will not be
officially supported.

For the problem, please first ensure you can probably access the site with
http://depthbydistance.com to access the site. If not, surely you will fail
to use depthbydistance.com in -w switch. The parameter behind -w must be
the servername, domainnam/host header, IP address of the site.

Please let me know if problem still persists.

Have a good day.

Sincerely,

WenJun Zhang
