FPSE 2002 search problem
|
|
|
| Hello,
I have problems with FPSE 2002 search component. Despite my best efforts,
the WAIS search function doesn't work if used with IIS 6 and content on a
UNC-share. Everything else works fine (like publishing, forum, themes, admin
pages etc.) but the search component appears on a page as "[FrontPage Search
Component]". According to STS admin guide WAIS should be enabled in the
downloadable version of FPSE 2002 [1]
I have configured my file and web servers as described in "Connecting Web
Sites to UNC Network Shares" [2] and "Authenticating Users Separately For
Each Virtual Server" [3]. I also have enabled FPSE from IIS admin console.
I will really appreciate any help to get around this problem.

IIS 6 does not support WAIS.

Thank you for your answer. I'm afraid, however, that you're wrong.
The following page very clearly states that it's supported in
WS2003 with the downloadable version of FPSE 2002:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/...doc/owsi06.mspx
The actual functionality of it is, of course, a complete different
story! (which makes me wonder if this is just another promiseware
from MS)
The search function is crucial. We can not migrate from IIS 5 to
IIS 6 until it works with UNC content.

| My interpretation of that article is that, if you install Win2003 SP1, the
WAIS search will not function, no matter which version of FP extensions are
used.

Note: If you install Office XP SP3 or Windows Server 2003 SP1, Integrated
Indexing Server Search replaces WAIS.

WS2003 SP1 is not a possible solution due to the obvious lack of
its existence. Office XP SP3 is not a possible solution due to
licensing issue (available licensing models are not applicable for
an ISP use).
It doesn't have to be precisely WAIS. I can live with whatever
search function as long as it works with IIS6, FPSE2002 and UNC
located content.

| So, what causes FrontPage to basically not see the Index
server, even though it is there and IIS was installed
after the Index server and the web catalog points to your
site, which works using the index server search in the MMC
on Win2K3/IIS6?
FrontPage properties for the search page reports "...
contains an Unknown FrontPage component Search" as an
error and if you view the page you get the "[FrontPage
Search Component".
I just can seem to get IIS 6 with the FPSE to see the
Index Server. In the Web Service Extensions, I have ensure
Index Server is enabled
Cheers,
John

This message indicates that you have not configured your site to use
the FPSE. Since you can have several different sets of Server
Extensions installed to the server at a time, you have to 'configure"
each site to use just one of them. In IIS 6 this means "extend"-ing
the site with the SharePoint administration tools.
After that, you have to make sure that the Indexing Service is listed
in the Web Server Extensions and allowed. Open the IIS Manager on the
server box, and expand the third folder under the server icon--the Web
Server Extensions. If Indexing Services does not appear in the list in
the right-hand pane, then you have to uninstall IIS, and reinstall,
making sure that the Indexing Service is selected as a component of IIS
to install.

| Thanks,
Will verify this ... but I am sure I did configure FPSE.
