They also support FP 2003.

However, I am at a loss as to any further suggestions. You may have to
contact MS and open a trouble report.

| Thank you for the response.
|
| There is no option to choose to extend only with the FP server extensions
or
| with sharepoint extensions. The administration webpage will allow me to
| extend the default website (created when IIS is installed) with version
| 5.0.2.5012 as long as there is no content other than the default content.
|
| However, I can not then publish to that web from FrontPage 2003.  When I
try
| using the frontpage option under "remote web site properties" called
| "Frontpage or sharepoint services", I input the http:// url for the
default
| website on the server.
|
| I get a prompt for a username/password and input the domain admin
| credentials (yes, the webserver is a member of the AD domain). After a
long
| minute wait, I am greeted with a pop-up message telling me that "there is
no
| director named: \" and the only option is to click "OK".
|
| If I change the location of the home directory for the default website, I
| get an entirely different set of problems.
|
| I am allowed to extend the site (again using the administration webpage)
and
| get the same version 5.0.2.5012. However, when I try to publish via FP
2003
| using the same process as above, I am told that "it does not appear that
the
| server at that address has front page extensions installed". I check using
| the administration webpage and it reports they are indeed installed.
|
| I have checked to make sure that they extensions are listed and allowed, I
| have uninstalled and reinstalled the extensions, uninstalled and
reinstalled
| IIS, and even done a complete OS reinstall.  I have checked the
permissions
| on the directories and on the websites. They all seem to be in order for
| share permissions and for NTFS permissions.
|
| If I try to publish a web via FP 2003 before I extend the site, it will
| publish only via FTP. I can't extend the website via the standard
| administration webpage.
|
| The knowledge base articles on this error suggest using the sharepoint
| administration webpage to work around this.
|
| I can then extend the website , but get a FP Server Extensions version of
| 6.0.2.5516 and am told that I can not administer the site as the
| administration programs are too old.
|
| I still, then, can not publish with the Frontpage or sharepoint services
| option in FP 2003.
|
| Hm....I think that is about it.
|
| I have read many threads on this problem in this list over the past few
| months. So far, I have seen no resolutions posted. It would be nice to see
if
| there could be some resolution posted for the others seeming to have this
| same problem. If I am not the only one, then it doesn't seem so much like
an
| error on our part as admins, so much as a glitch in the software.
|
| I did read on the MS website that the FP Server Extensions 2002 support
| FrontPage 2002 and earlier versions. Does this imply that they do not
support
| FP 2003? If so, are there plans to support this product that is now almost
2
| years old?
|
| Thank you for your response.
