Err Msg: Error While Uploading Contents. The Web Server You Selected Does Not Indicate Support...
ID: Q206234
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0
-
Microsoft Site Server version 3.0
-
Microsoft Site Server version 3.0, Commerce Edition
SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to access the ActiveX Posting Acceptor on a Web page, the following error message may occur:
Error while uploading contents. The web server you selected does not indicate support for the service provider you selected.
CAUSE
The Web server's default document must be correctly configured to handle uploads.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, do the following:
- Make sure the default document for the Web site (not the directory, but the actual default document for the domain) contains the following
meta tag in its <HEAD></HEAD> section:
<meta name="postinfo" content="/scripts/postinfo.asp">
In other words, if you have a Web page located at http://www.microsoft.com/uploads/upload.asp that contains the Posting Acceptor, the above meta tag must exist in the default document located at http://www.microsoft.com/. You can verify this by visiting the root Web site domain in your browser and view the source of the Web page.
- Make sure the Postinfo.asp file and path indicated in the meta tag exist. You can verify this by attempting to load this file in Internet Explorer.
- Ensure that IIS has Read permissions to both the default document and the Postinfo.asp document.
