Windows 2003 + Frontpage 2002 = FP-based scripts all down! - 6/13/2003 12:54:43
Hi, I' m copying over two posts I made on the ASP board to here to see if I can get any hep:
Hi, my webhost just upgraded my website to Windows 2003 and now ASP frontpage-based webpages will not work and report an error.
An example of this can be found at:
http://www.apxonline.com/window/distresults.asp?Name=B.J.%20Wolfe
Same type of error can be found on my ASP subdomain script:
http://database.apxonline.com
It' s been a couple days and I' ve found only one other post on this website dealing with a problem with Windows 2003. All of my FP-based ASP scripts -no longer- work due to this parent path error, and sometimes mappath error. The spooky login no longer works either.
My webhost is completely confused and had no idea there would be a problem with 2003 and Frontpage, as it seems I am the guinea pig.
Does -anyone- here have Windows 2003 Server with Frontpage, and do your DRW pages and other ASP scripts work?
Any help would be appreciated, as I decide what my options are from this point.
Chad

Rule 1 for most IT people who have been thru a MS new release - Never install a new MS release until the 3rd service pack is released and then ONLY in a test environment

Thanks, I have already forwarded that post to my webhost and their tech support is looking at it today hopefully.
As for the upgrade, I was caught unawares as they are rolling out Windows 2003 servers from this point and I wanted the IMail 8.0 features... I did my homework though and couldn' t find any info regarding problems with Frontpage.... probably cause like you said, it' s just too new.
It' s a shame too cause my boss just walked in exclaiming how much he likes the new anti-spam features of Imail 8.0.... (sigh)

Chad, FYI - Imail8 runs beautifly on a W2K server :-)

Really? Doh. My webhost wants IMail on Windows 2003, but she' s talking to her boss.

Licensing fees disallow me from getting Imail 8.0 on Win2k...and now things are looking grim for my frontpage website while its hosted on Win2k3. :(

RE: Windows 2003 + Frontpage 2002 = FP-based scripts al... - 6/13/2003 14:53:50
The basic problem is that 2003 is preventing my pages from accessing the Frontpage includes files in rootdirectory/_fpclass/.... the webbot makes a relative path to the directory on the fly, using ../_fpclass/
but Win2k3 will not allow it to use .. to indicate parent directory. I don' t know why but it won' t let you use relative locations, I can' t try an absolute location, because as far as I know, I can' t get the webbot to write anything different than it was originally intended.

Sounds like an attempt to make 2003 a little more secure :-)
I would have the host roll back to 2K...
I don' t understand " Licensing fees disallow me from getting Imail 8.0 on Win2k" , but it' s been a while since I' ve dealt w/ Ipswitch. Iknow two companies running 8.0 on W2K, I' ll ask...

My webhost said they don' t have a license for W2k servers, as they planned on rolling 8.0 out in conjunction with W2k3 servers.
As for the absoltue paths, yes sounds like security. I' m trying to get around the webbot in notepad to write the hard path of the includes but am actually still producing errors.

Ahh, I see. Well, not really :-) I don' t understand why someone would implement a new OS without throughly testing it, but.....
Good luck...
Sorry I couldn' t help

Yeah, no kidding, I kind of put them up against a wall, at the moment. Overall they are a really good web host.
