SUMMARYSYMPTOMSWhen you install FrontPage Server Extensions to a Web server or publish a Web to another server you receive the following error message:
CAUSE
You may receive this error message because FrontPage cannot manage
content that is not stored within the Web content directory on the
server. If you install the FrontPage Server Extensions to a Web server
that is mapped to a directory that has the same name as the directory
you defined for the FrontPage Web, the server redirects the FrontPage
Web directory to a location outside of the FrontPage Web. For example,
when you install Microsoft Personal Web Server, it creates a directory
mapping for a folder called "Docs." If you attempt to create a FrontPage
Web named Docs on the Microsoft Personal Web Server, you will receive
the error message described in the "Symptoms" section.
WORKAROUNDTo work around this problem, use either of the following methods. Method 1: Modify the Configuration FilesModify the configuration files or use the configuration utility for the Web server to remove the server-wide mapping for the directory, and then allow the FrontPage Server Extensions to create the mappings on a per-Web basis.Method 2: Rename the Cgi-bin folder before Publishing the WebRename the /Cgi-bin (or other) folder on the source server before you publish your Web. Contact your server administrator to enable the folder for executable programs.Additional query words: 1.00a 97
