FP2003 wants Sharepoint Services to create web on local webserver
|
|
| Manda O'Connell 2006-04-01, 2:39 pm |
| Local computer is Windows XP Pro, IIS 5.1 is installed with FP Server
Extensions 2002 with SP2. But whenever I try to create a new FP web on the
localhost I'm blocked by the message 'The web server at [localhost] does not
appear to have Windows Sharepoint Services installed'. The web I am trying
to create is an empty web or one page web - not sharepoint team services web
or anything like that. And having checked the Windows Sharepoint Services
product solution page, find that it is a Windows Server 2003 component - not
a Windows XP Pro component. Does this mean that in fact I CAN'T use the
local computer as web server to test out interactive and other such features?
We were doing so without problem previously with Windows NT 4, IIS, FPSE and
the Personal Web Server in the NT Option pack. Where is the info on how to
do this using Windows XP Pro?? Help!

| Can you tell us the order in which you installed IIS, FP, etc.?

| Installing and applying (extending ) the FP SE is a 2 step process
Open IIS MMC and apply the FP SE to your root web
- (the error message text is generic where the FP SE are often called SharePoint Services)

| Hi,
I had some similar problems on one of my schools computers. The IT department just ins=
talled iis server extensions on an xp machine for me and my students and left without s=
aying anythning. I tried hard and finally gave up working with it and installed iis wi=
th serverextensions on my laptop at home since i didn=C2=B4t get it to work.
This is what I did differently on my laptop:
In IIS manager:
1 I avoided creating virtual directories
2 I allowed only running of scripts (not executables)on wwwrooot (scripts are neces=
sary for asp to work)
3 I didn=C2=B4t create a website in IIS... there is already one which is named default=
web site... the default.asp (or index.htm) in wwwroot is the web site which is displa=
yed when you write http://computername in iexplorer... and it is actually the only o=
ne you can create in xp... an xp limitation...
4 since I found out that only one web site is possible with iis for xp I created sub sites=
for the different students in this way:
I right clicked the default web site icon and selected Frontpage server extensions w=
eb site to create the sub sites for my students.
In frontpage then finally:
1 File->Publish site-> Frontpage or Share... ->http://computername/student1..=
.. everythning went fine.... =
next problem I came across was the 7 connections limit...
apparently microsoft fooled all of us when they renamed pws to iis in xp.... iisxp is n=
ot a full-fledged web server at all =
I am switching to win2k now

| Windows 2000 Pro has the same connections and web sites limit as
Windows XP Pro - both are limited to one web site with 10 (not 7)
connections. Both these are intended for a single user testing pages.
Windows 2003 (all versions) and Windows 2000 Server have no limits on
numbers of web sites, and no practical limits on number of
connections.
