Re: FrontPage Extension

Dear Stefan B Rusynko,

1) After installing Frontpage Server Extensions 2002, a window pops up
saying that "the saerver administrator and the server extensions on the web
server are not compatible." The administrator program is too old to old to
use with this server." For your info, the IIS installed in the administrator
tools is IIS V5.1.

2) Anyway I hit the ok button and the frontpage extensions installation was
complete. Under administrator tools --> I found a internet shortcut called
Microsoft Sharepoint Administrator and when I click it, this happens--->

You are not authorized to view this page
You do not have permission to view this page using your current user account.
Please try the following:
• If you have another user account with a higher level of permission, click
your browser's Back button to try again using that account.
• If you believe you should be able to view this page, contact the Web site
administrator.

Does this problem got anything to do with Anonymous Access and
Authentication control? I have set the user name as administrator/servername
and checked "Anonymous Access"and unchecked "Allow IIS to control password."
The computer is login to administrator account.

I created the forum page using the Frontpage wizard with the discussion
template. It didn't include or create any database files for me. Could that
be another reason why I am facing this problems. Please kindly advice. Many
thanks.

Regards,
Shay
