PRB: Unexpected Error Message 80042114 with PDW: The Web Server You Selected Does Not Indicate Support for the Service Provider You Selected

• Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions for Windows, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When deploying to a Web server using the Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW), you see the following error:

Unexpected error number 80042114 has occurred: The Web server you selected does not indicate support for the service provider you selected.

CAUSE

This error occurs for one or more of the following reasons:

• You have not installed Microsoft Posting Acceptor 2.0. This is the most common reason.



• You have selected FTP as the Web publishing protocol when you are using an HTTP address as a destination URL.



• You are missing a <META> tag at the top of your default document specified for your root Web. The PDW requests the default document for your root Web and looks for the <META> tag in order to determine where your PostInfo.asp file is located.

RESOLUTION

Take the following actions, as necessary:

• Install Posting Acceptor 2.0.



• Make sure that the destination URL protocol matches the selected Web publishing protocol.



• Check your default document to see that it contains the <META> tag shown below and that it is the first line in your document:

  
  <META name="postinfo" content="/scripts/postinfo.asp"> 

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
