Problem Publishing - 2/10/2005 21:20:14
My site has been up for quite a while...and it's been over a year and half since publishing. But I'm back...and now I cannot publish.
A little background:
Since original publish, I have moved the site from the original server (Windows 2000) to a personal server (actually XP Pro). I installed IE services; installed front page extensions; copied (rather than published) files into the inetpub default directories; it all works fine.
Now that I want to edit and republish, I prefer to publish rather than copy files over.
That 'server' is in my basement and on cable.
I tried just doing it over the internal network with http:\\192.168.0.X, which would be best anyway. But when it hits that computer, the 'Connect to' dialog with login information comes up with Guest account, and the login name is greyed out. I don't even have a guest account set up on it, and I cannot enter a valid login name and password with it greyed out.
So, I tried with http:\\www.thename.com. It allows me to enter a name and password, but never gets in. It just keeps re-presenting the login dialog.
Any ideas?
[EDIT]
I've also tried 192.168.0.2\Administrator. Just keeps representing the login dialog box.

Roger,
Your question has a better opportunity for reply on the Server Issues Forum. If a Moderator or Spooky doesn't stop by here and take care of this soon, I suggest you re-post.

How are the PC's connected (LAN or Internet)? Does the server have a name? Does the Server have DNS setup correctly?
Version of FPSE? Version of FP? Version of IIS? Have you set-up the security on the server?
If I can have some answers to those, then I can provide a solution for you ;)

Larry M.
Thanks. I'll take that into consideration. That makes sense.
Giomanach
Let me try to answer your questions:
How are the PC's connected (LAN or Internet)?
Sorry, I must not have been clear enough in my explanation. I have two PCs on the same 192.0.x.x network. One is in the basement and in the DMZ of my router, and is the WEB server. The other is in my office, and I am authoring from the one in the office, trying to publish on the one in the basement.
Info not in first post--> When I publish strictly to a shared drive, I get an error that "the folder is contained by a server based web. To access this Web you must use the http:// url for the web server".
Then I try the things listed in the original post, using IP address, and using the domain name that does work across the internet.
Does the server have a name?
I presume you are asking if it has a Domain name. Yes, it does. Although I have to use redirection. That is, it is on my cable provided ISP, as opposed to a host site. I have a domain name that I own, and have registered it with CBJ.NET, and so it redirects to my server.
Does the Server have DNS setup correctly?
Based on the fact that I can get to it over the internet by name from work, and it received 27850 hits between December 15 and today, I presume the answer is yes. (Again, this is based on using the redirection. I do not have a DNS entry that "I" have entered or DNS server on site. It is accomplished via the redirection from CBJ.NET).
Version of FPSE?
I'm not positive how to determine the version of my extensions. However, I went to the server (hosted on Windows XP PRO), and went into the manager, and clicked on the default web server, then the server extensions tab, and on the bottom of that window it says version 4.0.2.8912.
Version of FP?
Front Page 2002 (10.6308.6714) SP3
Version of IIS?
Not sure how to tell. But it was installed from an XP Pro disk. The XP PRo has SP2 installed, and all MS Security patches.
Have you set-up the security on the server?
Now, this is probably the culprit. I have not done anything that I recall. When I open the properties page for the web, I see a Directory Security tab, and it has Anonymous access checked, with a default system user name that I'm sure was added when I installed IIS. It also has integrated Windows authentication checked, which is what I presume I have been trying to use. I am using the Administrator ID for the server and Password. I have done nothing in NTFS security.
Hope this helps

FP2002 publishing to FPSE2000 - Try upgrading the FPSE

Thanks.
I have downloaded and installed the FPSE 2002. I have the same results, which is:
Destination of https:\\192.168.x.x - Uses Guest as User Name (which is disabled on my server) and is greyed out.
Destination of https:\\domain.name.com, I can enter the User Name and password, but it comes back up for me to reenter the name and password.
Do I need to do some configuration after upgrading to FPSE 2002? I upgraded, and rebooted. I have opened the Web Administration, and Enable Authoring is checked. I left Security Settings as is. The only thing I see there is whether or not to allow authors to upload executables.
Also, I disabled my firewall long enough to try, and it still didn't work. So it's not the firewall.
However another thing that I wonder: I am connecting through a Netgear router. Reading the error message when the publish fails, one thing it says is that if I am connecting through a Proxy Server, the settings may be wrong. The router is not a Proxy Server, but I am connecting to the server through it when I use the domain name, which is the one way I can enter an valid user name and password. The server is in the DMZ of that router, so I wouldn't think I need to do any other changes.
[EDIT]
I just noticed when I go into management on the WEB server, there are two tabs for extensions: Extensions, and Front Page Extensions 2002. It sounds like both versions of FPE are on teh server. Can that be right? Oh, never mind. I see that the 2nd one is for going into the sharepoint settings, and the version is the same on both tabs.
Any other thoughts?

You are going through a router, on the same network to get to the server?
Also, try altering the authent method from integrated to basic

Yes. Now, although when I use http://my.domainname.com iI expect that it goes out the internet and back in via the router at my ISP, as DNS will resolve to the IP address out on the net.
But for sure, when I put in the specific address on my internal net, it will be staying on my local net.

I'll give it a try. I presume all I have to do is uncheck the Windows Integrated Authentication check box in the Web security.

RE: Problem Publishing - 2/14/2005 21:40:55
Thanks! I got it going.
Interestingly, when I use the Administrator login and password, while use http://192.168.x.x to publish to, it would not work. But if I used my own username, it works.
A little confusing, as that by having the authentication set to Windows Integrated, that implies to me that it should use the normal Windows user authentication. I don't guess I need to understand as long as it works.
Now, I will repost on a problem that I had hoped this would fix: getting a simple guest form to work. The error implies it is a server problem...I'm not sure whether to post in Server or other forum. I'll see how it goes.
Thanks for you help.
