I need help with IIS 6.0 and FrontPage Server Extensions

You do not need apache.

When you installed IIS 6 did you install Frontpage extensions 2002?

If you did not,  install them

If you did
uninstall them then reinstall them clean.


If you have
1- FP 2003
2- IIS 6
3- FP 2002 extensions

All will work fine

I recommend that you stop web services,  uninstall II6 using the Admin tools,  then Restart your PC.
After that reinstall IIS 6 and install FP 2002 extensions.

It should work.  There is no reason not to.

I have removed the Apache, clean installed the FPSE 2002, IIS 6.0 is running because I can see the website from my workstation.  The thing that is not working is the form.  When I hit the submit button, there is an error that says I have tryed to go to a page that does not have FPSE installed.

I do have it installed though. I have read some articles say something about a disk based web site.  I am not sure what that means, but I have this feeling that is where the problem is.  

I opened FrontPage 2003, opened the site that I was working on, then I published the site, I picked Server Extensions site, and I typed in localhost as the site name, this allows the site to run from my workstation and the form worked.  So I think that this is where the problem lies.

How would I publish the site from my computer to the server.  Lets say the server name is corey_server-wks1111, how would I publish to this site through FrontPage instead of the copy and paste method that I tried before.  Also where do I put the files, do they go under intepub folder?  

Please help me sort this out.  Thanks all!

How are you processing the form?  email, dumping it to a file, etc?

-Corey

I am just dumping it to a file, which is in the _private folder, a simple text file that is all.

Is it the:
_private/form_results.csv

And you do not get get this message: [FrontPage Save Results Component]

-Corey

The message is obvious.  The place where the form_results.csv file resides does not have FP extensions installed.

Check them.

Nope, this is what I get:

/***********************************************************************************/
FrontPage Run-Time Component Page
You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page that requires a web server and the FrontPage Server Extensions to function properly.

This form or other FrontPage component will work correctly if you publish this web to a web server that has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed.

Click the <Back> arrow to return to the previous page.
/************************************************************************************/

I am not sure what to do here, the FPSE 2002 are on there, but it seems as though they are not working.  This is the actually extension to this page:

_derived/nortbots.htm

Whatever that is.  

Thanks for the help so far everyone.  I appreciate it!

Hi wiggs1006,

Are you testing the form on a disk-based web.  I mean a folder on your PC.

Go to File
Publish
And publish the folder that you are using to your local drive or to the destination server then try.

Here is a microsoft article that talks about your problem.
