Hello everyone...I hope there is someone here that can preserve what little
sanity I have left.
I'm using MS Publisher 2003 to create a website with a submission form that
should mail the results to an e-mail address. That was the easy part. I
learned, after much googling, that the site must be uploaded via HTTP to
have the forms work correctly.
I'm also running IIS 5.0 with FrontPage Server Extensions intalled and
configured on Windows XP which would serve the site. I created a new virtual
directory (wwwroot) pointing to c:\inetpub\wwwroot to allow HTTP upload.
Ideally I'd like to set up this site on another hard-drive but for testing
purposes I set it up in the wwwroot. I've read somewhere that forms will
have difficulty when set up in nested sites. I've set up a second website
maped to a different drive, however, it has no forms. This process works
fine. I'm able to upload files to both webs via Publish to the Web feature
in MS Publisher. And browse the web from local machine name, network ip, and
from www address from another pc on my network. I'm able to browser the
second website on the virtual directory easily as well from all addresses.
Where my problem comes into play is when I click on the submit button on my
forms, I receive an error
HTTP 405 - Resource not allowed
Internet Information Services
This occurs whether I use http://localmachinename , http://localipaddress,
http://wwwaddress in the address bar. From everything I've read it's a
permission problem but I've tried so many things I'm getting confused as to
what permissions need to be where. Here is a snippit of the webpage coding
generated by MS Publisher:
<form action=--WEBBOT-SELF-- method=post>
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" s-email-address="(e-mail address removed)"
s-email-format="TEXT/PRE" b-email-label-fields="TRUE"
s-email-Subject="Appointment Request" s-builtin-fields="Date Time"
b-email-subject-from-field="FALSE"-->
(Why does this portion of the code not appear when I view source from a web
browser?)
Any help would save me from a horrible hospitalization in the local looney
bin.
