Frontpage error have Webmaster: check the application logs for theerror

[mreden82]

I have used FrontPage 2003 to design a webpage that lets employees
request office supplies. The form is supposed to send a request to a
document and another to a e-mail address.
However when I hit submit, I get an error that says
Frontpage error:
end-user: contact your webmaster
Webmaster: check the application logs for the error

There are no errors in the log
I have read some discussions that said IE should be getting the e-
mails. However I am not.
I have also tried re-installing from page extensions
we are running Windows 2003 server iis 6 if that helps.

A link to the page might help.

Check that the FrontPage extensions on the server are cong=figured to
send email, and that the SMTP server does not require authentication,
and allows relaying if the email goes to a different domain than the
website.

I have been getting the same error and I finally found the problem and
will submit it though it might not be your problem.
First, my Front Page forms will not let me send to email and there is an
answer by someone else to this question. If this is your problem, until you
erase send to email, you will get error.
But I had a greater problem using FP templates with wizard and trying to
publish to my website. I have been working with Front Page 2003 but FP
Extensions 2002 are the same. There is a glitch in the program which you can
remedy if you recognize it. I was trying to use a template and its wizard
for DISCUSSIONS. I worked and I worked days and nights and sometimes it would
work and again not at all. I determined to find the answer as I continually
got the error to check with the Webmaster, and for the Webmaster to check for
logs, which logs I could not find. I repaired my Front Page extensions and
still it would not work. Computers have a memory, once you put something on,
end results won't change. Remedy for this is to refresh every page, even
several times on your web site as you view it for each change comes back and
gets linked wrongly. But that is only part of the problem. I found when I
copied the URL directly from my Front Page list of pages and pasted it onto
the Internet Explorer all was successful. When I inserted a hyperlink from my
Web Site, I ultimately got the error message. To investigate further, Front
Page 2003 allows me to see all the pages I have open so I opened my page
generated from the hyperlink; then I opened the same page by clicking a
copy/paste I had made from the COPY url. There were two different pages with
the same name but two different URLs. The link from the COPY was a shortcut
to a different page. The remedy is to paste the shortcut into your Web Site,
do not use the hyperlink. You can copy the SHORTCUT URL from Front Page
index or copy the URL from Internet Explorer. Other hyperlinks are OK, it is
the one linking your website to the new pages that is responsible for the
error. But be sure to keep refreshing your pages as you are reviewing them
because your computer has a memory and links will get mixed.
