Re: Windows 2003 Server, IIS 6.0 FPSE 2002

PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED:
When I click the  Site Administration link, not matter what username or
password I enter whether it be  the top lever admin SERVER\ADMINLOGIN or
www.mydomaine.com/ADMINLOGIN

http://www.mydomaine.com/_vti_bin/_...ge=webadmin.htm

Page Can Not Be Displayed

Sometimes I go back to click "Go to Site administration for
http://www.mydomaine.com ; again an instead of getting prompted for a login
it
goes directly to the browser
"Page Can Not Be Displayed"

I have many websites with FPSE and have not ever had this problem.  I can
successfully access other site admin sections ok but just not this site or
any new ones I am trying to create.


PROCEDURE FOLLOWED:
I just installed FPSE on a new website from IIS and got the normal password
prompt for my SERVER\ADMINLOGIN account where I enter the password.

I am then properly sent to the "Extend virtual server with FrontPage Server
Extensions 2002" page where I  successfully submit the same
SERVER\ADMINLOGIN.

Now from the "Server Administration" page I click on the "Administration"
link for the site I just extended and then go to the top of the page to
access the "Go to Site administration for http://www.mydomaine.com (Example
domain)


Thanks - Jody

Not sure what the issue was but what a frustrating problem!  I was FINALLY
was able to create a new site and transfer all my files and I can now login
ok.  The only thing that I did was stop and restart the "World Wide Web
Publishing Service".  I have NO idea if that was the fix or not.

The really interesting thing is when I went to login, if I was prompted with
SERVERNAME\ADMINLOGIN I knew I would get the "Page cannot be displayed"
error.  If the login was blank and just typed in my ADMINLOGIN I got in to
Site Administration just fine.  Go figure!

I am VERY nervous about these kinds of flaky issues that seem to
mysteriously fix themselves.  I really hated the idea that I might have to
uninstall and reinstall the FPSE for the entire server and muck up all my 20
+
sites that were working just fine as that was what was suggested for me to d
o
by my tech staff.  If any one has any input on this I am all ears! - Jody

Did you install W2K3 SP1?
What version of FrontPage Extentensions?
5.0.2.5012 or 5.0.2.6738

The new Frontpage Extensions is what is causing the issue.
I've already reported this to Microsoft, until they resolve this problem
this is what needs to be done.

The following is how I discovered to fix the issue.
This is my reply to the newsgroups.

The fix:
Download Microsoft's IIS 6.0 Resource Kit.
Open "Metabase Explorer" (Use Metabase Explorer at your own risk)
Browse to W3SVC
Click on the ID number for the website containg the FrontPage Extensions
i.e (/LM/W3SVC/1)
On the right side of the split screen, right click on an empty row at the
bottom,
choose "New String Record" >>
Record Name or Identifier = NTAuthenticationProviders
Click OK

Right click on the new record and choose "Properties"
On the "Value" Tab input the following:
Value Data: NTLM

On the "General" Tab Input the following:
UserType: File
Attributes: Inheritable

Close "Metabase Explorer", open "IIS", goto the FrontPage Administration for
the current website you just edited. You can now login w/ user credentials.

Evidently this is an issue with the new version of FrontPage Extensions.
Until MS resolves this, I guess we can update manually until then.

Can you explane the difference between the fix I've found and yours?

No difference, they both accomplish the same goal.
There is always more than one way to skin a cat.
