DAve.list -> New FrontPage install/Unix admin (3/3/2006 11:23:13)
|
Good morning,
I have administered Mac, Unix, Linux, Solaris servers with Apache, Zeus, Medusa, thttp, WebStar, QuidProQuo, and lighthttpd. I'm not stupid, but I can't seem to get Server 2003 to use FrontPage extensions.
I have a new clean Server 2003 install with .NET installed. One site is up and running with asp/aspx programming and SQLServer just fine. I am attempting to move several old sites from a FrontPage server over to the new server.
I create a new website in IIS manager, assign an IP and hostnames, check it from a remote machine and boy howdy it's there. I add a user DSN and the DB is even working. (I'm thinking I can survive this experience at this point).
Now I open IIS Manager, select the website, and choose ALLTasks -> Configure Server Extensions 2002
I get an MSIE window and a login prompt, I login and check the info. The hostname is correct, administrator is correct (the server admin), click submit.
I get a new MSIE page showing the websites and a admin link to the site I just added FPSE to. I click it, get another new MSIE page, I see a link to login to the site adminstration. I cannot, error 401, not authorised.
I can't login from a rightclick on the site, from my adminstrative tools, from anywhere. I cannot administer the site.
I've used Google, tried three different instructions, I even tried the Windows help. Always the same result. Four days now.
What on earth am I doing wrong?
Does anyone have step by step instructions for *everything* that must be done to enable Frontpage extensions and login via web folders as an author?
Thank you,
DAve
