Permission Errors Occur after Upgrading to FrontPage 2000

Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions
SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade to Microsoft FrontPage 2000 on a computer running
Windows NT 4.0, authoring a Web as an Administrator may result in
permission errors.
In most cases, the errors occur when you are saving a file in a newly-
created folder. For instance, the following error may occur when saving a
file to the newly created folder new_folder:
Server error: Cannot create folder
"C:\inetpub\wwwroot\New_Folder\_vti_cnf"
CAUSE
The error originates from performing the following setup steps:
- Install Windows NT 4.0 Server. During the installation of the OS,
convert the file system to NTFS.
- Install Internet Explorer 4.0 and Service Pack 3 (SP3) or
SP4.
- Install the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack, which includes the
FrontPage 98 Server Extensions.
- Install FrontPage 2000, which also upgrades the Server Extensions
to FrontPage 2000.
In this setup configuration, the group Creator Owner was never given
Administer rights to the FrontPage 98 Web, and when FrontPage 2000 was
installed, it was downgraded to Browse permission. The resulting
configuration causes permissions problems for the Administrator on the
Web. The behavior only occurs if the file system was converted to NTFS
during the installation of Windows NT 4.0.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use the FrontPage Client to remove the Creator
Owner group from the permissions of the Web or grant the Creator Owner
group Administer permissions for the Web. To do this, use the following
steps:
- Open the FrontPage Client and open the Web where the permissions
problems are occurring.
- On the Tools menu, click Security, and then click
Permissions.
- On the Groups tab, click the Creator Owner group
and click Remove.
- You can alternatively click the Creator Owner group, click
Edit, and select the radio button to grant Administer
rights.
- After changing the permissions, click Apply, and then
click OK.
