Re: Problems with Discussion Board

Thank you Ronx!

My issue was finally escalated to the Godaddy "Advanced Hosting Team" who
promptly told me that the Search functionality within the Discussion Group is
not available if your web site is on a Godaddy Windows-based hosting server.
They told me that I would have to move to one of their Linux-based servers.

This does not make any sense to me because I was under the impression that
the FrontPage Server Extensions could only be loaded on a Windows server?

Regards,

Bernie

If the discussion web is in its own subweb (recommended practice), then
delete the subweb (make a backup first).
Otherwise, see www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/discussion/pages.htm which

I think I've check and verified that everything was correct. But I still
can
not get the Search page to work correctly. I want to delete the
discussion
board from my web site, remove and then re-install the server extensions
and
then re-install the discussion board.

Can anyone please tell me what files and folders need to be removed?

Thanks,

Bernie

I will call godaddy to ask them about how they setup the Server
Extensions.

The error message quoted is from nortbots.htm.
nortbots.htm only appears in five cases:

1) You are testing on a disc-based website, including a FrontPage
disc-based web that is being browsed through a web-server.
2) You are testing on a website that does not have server extensions
installed or running
3) The site (or form page) was FTPed from a disc-based web, or
published
using a FTP address for the destination, or published to a file system
destination including a network share or UNC address (like
\\machinename\path\webname). Publish must be to a URL of the form
http://example.com, or the site was published to a disc based location
(example C:/sitename/)
4) There is a bug associated with FrontPage98 which causes this
problem.
5) The site was correctly published, but the extensions were not
installed
correctly or were mis-configured. Re-installing the extensions may
correct
the problem.

For the discussion web problems,

I setup a new web site on an ISP's server
(http://www.hurricanerunners.com).
The problem that I am having is that my Discussion Board does not
work.

I spoke to the ISP's support and they told me that they do support
FP
Server
Extensions and that I had set them upproperly for my site. But,
still, I
get
the following error messages.

"You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page that
requires a
web
server and the FrontPage Server Extensions to function properly.
This
form or
other FrontPage component will work correctly if you publish this
web to
a
web server that has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed."

I also get the following error message:

"Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this page:
"http://www.hurricanerunners.com/disc1_post.htm";

In the FP Reports there are two Component Errors:

Error 1 .... disc1_post.htm - A FrontPage Discussion component is
incorrectly configured. You must provide values for the "Directory
and
Table
of contents layout (s-dir-name and s-toc-fields)" parameters(s).

Error 2 .... disc1_srch.htm - This page contains a FrontPage Search
component that will not function properly until you publish your
FrontPage
Web to a server.

My first problem is that I do not know where to specify the
s-dir-name
and
s-toc fields.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
