Can’t publish to localhost IIS with FPSE 2002

[steverino]

I have installed IIS 5.1 on my XP Pro development machine (named felix) as a
test server. I have also installed FPSE 2002. It seems to have installed
successfully. IE can open the localstart.asp page that is automatically
installed with IIS. FP cannot publish to the site, however. FP is “unable
to open ‘http://felix’ Possible reasons include 1. FPSE not installed; 2. Web
server not working, 3. Proxy problems. 4. Error on the web server.†I have
ruled out 2 thru 4, so I am trying to figure out how to straighten out FPSE.

I have three FPSE symptoms that may provide clues:
- IIS MMC Check Server Extensions 2002 for the Default Web Site gives me a
“not authorized†message for
http://felix/_vti_bin/_vti_adm/fpadmdll.dll?page=health.htm.
- IIS MMC also tells me that I am “not authorized†to see
http://felix/_sharepoint/fpadmdll.dll?page=genset.htm&port=/LM/W3SVC/1 when I
look at the Default Web Site/Properties/Server Extensions 2002/ Settings.
- Administrative Tools/SharePoint Administrator also tells me that I am “not
authorized†to see http://felix/_sharepoint/fpadmdll.dll.

This seems like a permissions problem, but I don’t know how to fix it. Any
ideas?

Thanks!

Try publishing to; http://localhost/felix

FP complanis that "A Web site does not exist at http://localhost/felix.
Would like toe create one?" I declined. Prior to installing FPSE '02 I was
able to publsh to the wwwroot folder. I can still open and view http://felix
or http://localhost with the same result.

Any suggestions for the FPSE config/admin related problems?

Let FrontPage create the web when prompted.
You need to create a subweb in http://localhost
or http://felix.

Then the path would be http://localhost/felix or http://felix/felix

It doesn't work. FP tells me, "A Web site doesn't exist at
http://felix/newweb. Would you like to create one?" I click "yes" and it
takes me back to the Remote Web Site Properties dialog box. The Remote Web
server type is indicated as FrontPage or SharePoint Services, and the url is
http://felix/newweb. When I click OK I again get "A Web site doesn't exist
at http://felix/newweb. Would you like to create one?". Endless loop.

Any ideas on why I am having the FPSE admin related problems that I
identified in my first post? It seems likely that there is something about
the FPSE 02 configuration that is preventing FrontPage from seeing them on
the server, preventing FP from publishing.
