Author cannot synchronize website

when trying to publish the website i am getting the following error message:

Server error: The folder "/processtoolbox" is marked executable. You are not
allowed to put files into an executable folder on this server.

This happens for Local to remote/remote to loca/ synchronize

I realise this looks like a permission issue, should i be looking at the
folder permission ? or server? if so what should i change? What if there are
scripts on the website (scripts need to be executed)

You should be looking at the folder on the server.
If using FP2002 extensions, open the remote web in FrontPage and
right-click on the folder.
Choose Properties.
Uncheck the box "Allow programs to be run"
Check the boxes: "Allow scripts to be run" and "Allow files to be
browsed"

If the checkboxes are not available (greyed out) have your host check
the permissions.

Thanks,
scripts and files are checked off but also available to uncheck.
it looks like "allow programs to be run" is checked off and greyed out.
How exactly does one disable this on the server side?

FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 - Web site Administration? Folder security?


p.s. i have admin rights

In IIS you will need to open the IIS server properties for the site
from IIS MMC on the server, then on the Home Directory tag, change the
Execute Permissions to Scripts Only. An Inheritance Overrides window
will ask which folders should also inherit the permissions, choose all
of them (with the possible exception of cgi-bin, if that folder
exists.) Click OK on that window, and OK on Properties.

If Apache on Unix server, the httpd.conf document will need to be
updated, or the configuration file (if separate) for your virtual
server.

It is a Windows 2003 server environment.

Here lies the problem,
the subweb im using was configured on a virtual directory after I configured
FPSE on the Default website. After configuring FPSE on the virutal directory,
the virtual directory dissapeared from IIS. It no longer lies under the
default website. I have no idea where it has gone. Is this normal operating
procedures for configuring fpse?

If I knew how to access the virtual directory properties for my website i
know i can fix this problem. As it stands, the Home directory properties for
the website are set to Scripts only. Im assuming the invisible virtual
directory (which is accessible on the web and through frontpage) is set to
scripts and executables.

If I try to recreate the virtual directory, it says that the alias is already
in use. Very weird. Should i remove the subweb and see if it comes back?

well I removed the subweb, but the virtual directory is still in limbo.
So i have created another one and so far am having no problems publishing. I
would however like to use the old virtual directory alias again. I guess
this is a problem with IIS now. Not sure what steps to take, if anyone knows
please inform me. thanks

I do not work with virtual folders, and I have never seen a virtual
folder (defined by IIS/FrontPage extensions installation) disappear
from the IIS MMC.

I suggest posting in an IIS newsgroup, such as
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microso....inetserver.iis

Extend the site with FPSE first.
Then
open Microsoft SharePoint Adminsistrator (in Adminstrative Tools)
Click the Administration link of the web site in question
Click Go To Site Administration on the next page
At the bottom is create subweb

Your original problem was most likely caused by the fact that 'Allow authors to upload executables' is disabled.
open Microsoft SharePoint Adminsistrator (in Adminstrative Tools)
Click the Administration link of the web site in question
Click Change Configuration settings
at the bottom enable Allow authors to upload executable
click submit
