Hello, this is pertaining to Server 200, IIS 5, FP 2000 extensions . .

I am trying to enable Front Page access on several virtual HTTP servers in
ISS. Using the IIS management console, I choose to "Configure Server
Extensions" . .the wizard starts running and once it prompts me for
everything, it then runs a little while and will come back every time with
one of two error messages:

There is no web named ""

or

Cannot create file "services.cnf"

I have removed the server extensions, reinstalled them, check directory
permissions and everything I can think of. I have looked for a services.cnf
file and cannot find one . I tried creating one manually in _vti_pvt and it
disappears . Also, I can manually delete every FP directory but _vti_pvt .
When I try, it claims it is not empty ..however, there are zero files in it
.. .and my File view is set to view hidden files and system files . .I can
rename the directory ..but not remove it.

I have this happening on 2 machines while another machine is fine with the
same configuration - just different domains mapped to each virtual HTTP
server. I am in a loop of trying the same thing over and over so hoping
someone can help. BTW, one machine USED to work fine with FP and then it
blew up to what I am seeing now . .but I cannot pinpoint if it was an update
or what caused it. Please help.

Phil
