I get the message "The document root of the web server

subsequently go to Tools - Web Settings it states "No
server currently in use" even though there is a web site
actively being served on IIS (Windows 2000).  Running
Fpsrvadm.exe does not help.

I appreciate your fast response.  I did what was said, but
it didn't work.  I presume the document root of the
virtual server is the "Default Web Site" under IIS.  I
made the suggested change in the file service.cnf.sc.txt
file (there was no service.cnf file).  Maybe part of the
problem is when I try to run "configure server extensions"
under Default Web Site I get the same error message
below.  Should I completely remove the disk-based web on
C: and reinstall FP?  Should I remove the path to the disk-
based web in IIS before doing this?  After reinstalling FP
could I then copy over the disk-based web into the
document root on C:?

A correction.  There is a folder called service.cnf in my
Default Web Page in IIS, but I can't open it in notepad
because I can't figure out the path.  "Search files" does
not find service.cnf. I get to it inside Computer
Management (local) which I access by right clicking on My
Computer and choosing Manage.  Maybe this is my problem.
