Hit Counter Fails on Software Multi-Homed Netscape Server

ID: Q197777

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

On all Netscape servers on both Windows NT and Unix platforms, FrontPage hit counters fail on a virtual server that is software multi-homed.

NOTE: A software multi-homed server is a virtual server that is sharing an IP address with another server.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the Netscape Web server sets the PATH_TRANSLATED environment variable to the main server's document root, rather than to the root of the virtual server. The FrontPage hit counter depends on this variable being set correctly

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FrontPage 98 for Windows.
