Err Msg: Error While Uploading Content. Web Server You Selected Does Not Indicate Support...

ID: Q202170

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Site Server version 3.0
Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to upload content using the Posting Acceptor ActiveX upload control, you may receive the following error message:

Error while uploading content. Web server you selected does not indicate support for the service provider you selected.

CAUSE

This error message can occur when the <meta name="postinfo" content="/scripts/postinfo.asp"> meta tag is not present in the default page of the Web site. This error can also occur when there is no default document specified for the Web site.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, do the following:

Edit the default page for the Web site to ensure that the required Posting Acceptor meta tag is present:
1. Open the default page document on the default Web site, for example:
  notepad c:\inetpub\wwwroot\default.asp
2. Make sure the <meta name="postinfo" content="/scripts/postinfo.asp"> meta tag is included in the <head></head> section.

The meta tag cannot be read because the IIS default document page is not setup correctly. For example, if the default page is Index.htm, make sure Index.htm is included in the default document list:
1. Open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
2. Select the Internet Information Server snap-in.
3. Expand the list under the machine name, and then right-click the default Web site.
4. Click Properties.
5. Click the Documents tab.
6. Click to enable the Enable Default Document check box.
7. Ensure that the Index.htm file is in the list of documents.
