form prompts for user name/password-how to fix?
had a website running well then rebuilt the server and imported the website. Since then, the form submission does not work. Upon "sumbitting" information to the server, I'm prompted for "enter username and password for "" at website.com"
not sure why the "" in the message-something wrong w/ the user? any idea what the problem is?
server extensions are installed and operating.
thanks

I performed a 'restore' on the server from a previous backup which imported the sites and presumably the settings. Is there a permission for form submission?

Will reinstalling the FP server extensions mess w/ the sharepoint (WSS) sites?
thank you
thank you
Make sure you do not install FPSE on the default website, and you should be okay. WSS and FPSE cannot be running on Port 80 - this could also be cuasing you problems if this is how you server is configured.

sillly me,,, I thought I had uninstalled the FP extensions and reinstalled them previously as one of the things I tried,,, but did it this morning and now all is well-thanks for the great suggestion!
re: FPSE and WSS-I have www sites-both using host headers-one is running FPSE and the other was (before rebuilding my server) running WSS w/ no problems. Now, I can't get it to work again-are you saying FPSE and WSS will NOT work when both using port 80?
thanks

using host headers is one workaround. you basically trick IIS into thinking they are on different servers.
glad you resolved the problem.

You say "imported the website" - did you publish the files to their web directory or just copy/paste?? Not publishing can cause forms to not work, although the symptom (error message) is usually different than the one you experienced.
