FP 2003 Extension Problem - 11/11/2004 1:56:09   
Hello,

I am using FrontPage 2003 and I have created a form here http://www.greentownpolice.us/reportacrime.htm This is my first time using FrontPage, and I do like it! Problem is, I have told frontpage to deliver a copy of the form to _private/form_results.txt (default) and email to webmaster@greentownpolice.us . When you click submit you get the below error. I have installed the server extensions through Cpanel and I have verified with my host that they are up to date and installed properly. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!!

Jordan



Error:

FrontPage Run-Time Component Page
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.

Click the <Back> arrow to return to the previous page.

Welcome to Outfront

Are you running this page locally or from a server?

If from a server, did you publish it or FTP it to the server?

Thanks

Dan,

I am running this from a server. I have installed the extensions and uninstalled them about 3 times. Cpanel tells me that the install goes ok, and everything is functional. I followed up with the server admin and he reassures me that everything is working fine on his end. I am publishing it through FP2003. I have never used FTP. Also, I now have 3 .htaacess files are those becuase I installed/uninstalled the extensions so many times?

Again, your help is much appreciated!!

Remove the FPSE, delete all .htaccess files and re-install the FPSE.

The server admin do not always tell you what you need to hear,but rather what you want to hear

Ok, here is what I got now.

If I delete all the .htaaccess files go into the cpanel and reinstall them the form works. But! They webpage is totally out of wack, pictures don't load menu's don't show up etc. So I go back into FP and republish the site. It corrects all the problems but then the form won't work!!!!! AHHH I can't figure it out. I have tried it several different ways. I even totally deleted the entire site on the server, installed the FPSE then republished my site. Site looks fine, form dosen't work.

PLEASE HELP!!

To clear up my last response. Basically After I deleted the .htaaccess files and reinstalled the FPSE the form worked. But, it left the layout of the page all jacked up. If I republish the reportacrime.htm file the page looks correct again, but I get that same old error page when you click submit. I just can't seem to get this one figured out. What are my other form options if we can't get this one to work.

Thanks again!

Hi Bruce,

Welcome to OutFront.

A URL for the problem page might help. It is better than the HTML, as ythe HTML can appear differently in soure than the PC code.

Hi Bruce,

The resulting error message "FrontPage Run-Time Component Page" message is an indication the extensions aren't present or have become corrupt.

The FrontPage form is a component requiring use of the FrontPage "Publish Web" function.

You seem to be using a freebie space provided by your ISP. You would need to check with their support to see if they offer the extensions.

If not, they may have an optional form handler script.

Additionally, it is best not to leave spaces in page and file names. Use the underscore instead. This is why we see the %20 in the URL.
