Frontpage 2003 Publish turns on IIS application by default

[Stephen]

Whenever I do a full publish on a sub-website (Frontpage 2003), it enables
the application setting in IIS 6 (Frontpage Service Extension 2003).

We never had that problem in IIS 5 with Frontpage Service Exetnsion 2000.

Is there a way to prevent Frontpage from turning on the application setting
in IIS 6.0 when doing a full publish? Maybe modifying the registry or any
solution available.


Thanks,
Stephen

If your site contains a database connection, FrontPage will do that.
Otherwise, the database connection won't work.

I don't believe it marks the site as an applciation otherwise. Are you
experiencing something different?

Also, why do you care (serious question)? There may be another way of
accomplishing what you want.

Since some of our subwebs are using some of the variables in the global.asa
of our root web. Therefore, these subwebs are looking in the global.asa
(dont exits) in there respective subweb and NOT the global.asa from the root.

There is no database connection in the subweb. But it is in the global.asa
of the web root.

There is no setting to disable this, which is controlled by the extensions on the server. One
workaround is to place a copy of the global.asa file in each subsite and then check and verify the
database connection for that specific subweb.
