Making forms work

[Jim]

Hi, everybody

I've reinstalled FP 2002 after removing winrar (see my other thread, thanks
for the insight GC). It took a bit of time squeezed in due to many other
committments to accomplish it, but I finally got back to where I was....sort
of.

I've installed IIS (5.1) on a clean install XP Pro machine with FP2002
server extensions and created a test web w/FP 2002 SE.

I've sucessfully opened the test web, created a default.htm page and a very
simple form using "insert form" under tools. The fom consists of a the basic
submit/rest buttons and a text field.

I've tried this all 3 ways (actually, I went and created 3 identical but
separate test webs, but that's beside the point):

First I configured the form with both a text file and and email message,
using the form properties to set in the email address and verifying the file
name.

Then I configured the form with ONLY an email message.

Then I configured the form with ONLY a text file

I configured IIS to use the default smtp server with the basic
source/reply-to email addresses (which are valid).

Here is what I get with all three scenarios on an xp machine running IE 6,
sp2.

"FrontPage Error.
User: please report details to this site's webmaster.
Webmaster: please see the server's application event log for more details. "

That's it.

FYI, there is no information in the event log of the machine accessing the
test web or in the event log of the machine running II6. Nada.

I've searched the knowledge base and found Q201799, which applies to
FP2000SE. However, the requisite event log entry is not present on the
server and I don't think the conditions apply. Ditto for 196489, 308242,
264977, 296697, 174406, etc.).

FWIW, the "results" file, with the correct name with a .csv file type and
date/time stamp, is created in "\_private" but with a zero length.

If this is a permissions issue on the server, I'm not sure how to correct it
or how to correctly specify permissions using the FP2002SE administration
page.

Any ideas? With an event log entry, I haven't a clue what's wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Jim

Hi Jim,

Several possibilities present themselves to me:

1. Is this a web server-based web? You didn't say.
2. Are you making an HTTP request for the form page? You didn't say.
3. Have you configured permissions for the SMTP server? What email address
are you using for the FROM? Unless the FROM email address is the same domain
as the SMTP server, the SMTP server must be configured to allow relaying.
4. Have a look at the web server logs. You can find them in the
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Logfiles\W3SVC1 folder, and they are text files. Perhaps
you will find a clue there.

I am having the exact same problem.

Mine is a webserver based web. Although the form I created was a simple
example and I didn't both to make it a web and publish it through FP. I just
created the form webpage and saved it as a file and uploaded it to my server.

I am accessing the page through HTTP by url.

I don't have SMTP server installed and configured.

I will take a look at that file and post the contents later on today.

Thanks,
Chris

You must open your FP web on your pc, create the form within the web, then
http publish it via FP to the remote web that has FP server extensions
installed. Otherwise, it won't work.

Do I need to setup SMTP server and configure it in order to have the form
emailed to the email I specified in the Form Properties?

Once I follow all the steps by creating the web in FP and then publishing it
via FP to my webserver there is still possibly an issue with the email or
does the webot (that is inserted by the form wizard) and FPSE actually handle
the emailing side of it.

Thanks for your time,
Chris

I now get this error message below and I know I have FPSE version
5.0....installed and configured. Any ideas? Thanks for all your time and help.

FrontPage Run-Time Component Page
You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page that requires a web
server and the FrontPage Server Extensions to function properly.

This form or other FrontPage component will work correctly if you publish
this web to a web server that has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed.

 

[Tom Pepper Willett]

Chris: Have you read the information at the link I provided, and have
instituted it on the remote server?

I replied with a new error I am getting. I recalculated the FPSE and the hit
counter now works properly, but my form still doesn't. Here is a snipet of
the code that handles the form. I also provided the error html page I get
after the code.

onSubmit="location.href='_derived/nortbots.htm';return false;"

I read it and the steps were for IIS 5.0 and I have 6.0
However, I did configure it for email by going to the "Default Website"
properties>Server Extensions 2000 which lead me to a Virtual Server admin
page to fill in the smtp server I want to use as well as other info which I
provided.

I am publishing the web as I am supposed to now and still nothing.
Something I am doing wrong still?

 

[ChrisP]

I was followed all the steps except for the one that had me tunnel to Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\40\BIN\FPMMC.MSC

It loaded the management console, but when I right clicked the FPSE i got an
error "snap-in failed to initialize"

 

[Ronx]

That message is the result of either testing a disc based web, or
uploading using FTP.

nortbots.htm only appears in four cases:
1) You are testing on a disc-based website, including a FrontPage
disc-based web that is being browsed through a web-server.
2) You are testing on a website that does not have server extensions
installed or running
3) The site (or form page) was FTPed from a disc-based web, or
published using a FTP address for the destination. Publish must be to
a URL of the form http://example.com
4) There is a bug associated with FrontPage98 which causes this
problem.

 

[Stefan B Rusynko]

You haven't answered where are you opening that FP Site?

In a Disc based web (w/ a file path like C:\somefolderpath\)
- won't work
In a Server based web (w/ a URL like http://localhost of http://www.yousite.com/)
- will work if the FP SE and Email transport are enabled correctly

[ChrisP]

I might not have the email configured correctly, but I am almost sure the
FPSE is. Another example I created was a hit counter that was inserted by
INSERT>Webcomponents in FP2002. That now finally works after I recalculated
the website.

I created a web in FP and I published it to my web server. Unless I am using
the wrong steps to do it then I am not doing anything wrong.

I don't know whatelse to do,
Chris

 

[Jim]

Hi Jim,

Several possibilities present themselves to me:

1. Is this a web server-based web? You didn't say.

Web based server. Accessed as: http://servername/subwebname

Subwebname is an FPSE2002 subweb.

2. Are you making an HTTP request for the form page? You didn't say.

Yes. via url link to http://servername/subwebnate/test_form.htm.

The form page loads correctly.

View source shows:

<html>

<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>test form</title>
</head>

<body>

<form method="POST" action="_vti_bin/shtml.dll/test_form.htm"
webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" S-Label-Fields="TRUE"
U-File="_private/form_results9.csv" S-Format="TEXT/CSV" startspan --><input
TYPE="hidden" NAME="VTI-GROUP" VALUE="0"><!--webbot bot="SaveResults"
i-checksum="43374" endspan --><p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"><input type="reset"
value="Reset" name="B2"><input type="text" name="T1" size="20"></p>
</form>

</body>

3. Have you configured permissions for the SMTP server?

I'm not sure. How do I do this?

In checking the smtp server properties, I find that anonymous access is
configured and no default domain selected under access
control/authentication.

What email address are you using for the FROM? Unless the FROM email
address is the same domain as the SMTP server, the SMTP server must be
configured to allow relaying.

Why would this matter? I don't understand.

Also, if I'm not using a mail response, would it still matter?

4. Have a look at the web server logs. You can find them in the
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Logfiles\W3SVC1 folder, and they are text files.
Perhaps you will find a clue there.

I see the GET for the form page, followed by the PUT for _vti_bin\shtml.dll
for the error message. The sc-status code is 200.

That's it.

Thanks....

Jim

 

[Kevin Spencer]

Thanks Jim! Excellent responses to my questions!

These sorts of issues can often have multiple problems associated with them,
so answering all of my questions was very helpful. I'll skip the "no
possible issues" questions/answers, and move directly to the "possible
issues" questions/answers:

First, thanks for posting the form code. I'm going to skip the
email-oriented stuff, since the form you posted doesn't use email. I asked
about it because you had mentioned that at some point it was configured to
send email. Taking email out of the picture simplifies things a good bit.

I see the GET for the form page, followed by the PUT for
_vti_bin\shtml.dll for the error message. The sc-status code is 200.

This is odd. You should see a POST, rather than a PUT. I copied your form
code and pasted it into a new web page in a local server-based web, using
FrontPage 2003 (which ises the same server extensions as FP 2002). It
modified the code as follows:

<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" S-Label-Fields="TRUE"
U-File="_private/form_results9.csv" S-Format="TEXT/CSV" startspan --><input
TYPE="hidden" NAME="VTI-GROUP" VALUE="0"><!--webbot bot="SaveResults"
i-checksum="30097" endspan --><p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"><input type="reset"
value="Reset" name="B2"><input type="text" name="T1" size="20"></p>
</form>

Testing the form, it worked correctly, and if you use the same code, it
should also work for you. I'm not sure why your code is different. However,
there is one question I didn't ask you, which may have something to do with
it. Did you have the server-based web opened AS a server-based (HTTP) web
site before editing the page? How FrontPage writes its code is dependent
upon the context in which the editor is running. FrontPage can create HTML
documents in file-based webs, and even forms (which don't work).

I tried to answer all your questions. However, I did get the logfile you
wanted to know about. I do want the results emailed to me. I don't have SMTP
installed and configured. I thought I didn't need it. I don't have any
domains. This is one server on my network I use to test out things. Let me
know if you need any additional information. I really like to get this worked
out. Below I pasted my logfile and the code from my form.html file.

Here is what is in my last log file. I didn't add all of the info, but I
think this is what is important:

It looks like you didn't see my previous response. Did you? I gave you some
modified form code that should work.

Thanks for your time,

Hi Jim,

Several possibilities present themselves to me:

1. Is this a web server-based web? You didn't say.
2. Are you making an HTTP request for the form page? You didn't say.
3. Have you configured permissions for the SMTP server? What email
address
are you using for the FROM? Unless the FROM email address is the same
domain
as the SMTP server, the SMTP server must be configured to allow relaying.
4. Have a look at the web server logs. You can find them in the
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Logfiles\W3SVC1 folder, and they are text files.
Perhaps
you will find a clue there.

I don't see a response where you provided modified form code.
I now have SMTP installed for my IIS server. I also believe it is configured
properly.
I tested the form on the server and on another PC via HTTP and still getting
that same error message that takes me to nortbot.htm

I really appreciate all your time and help. I don't know if I am answering
all your questions correctly, but I am trying. Do you need any additional
info?

It looks like you didn't see my previous response. Did you? I gave you some
modified form code that should work.

Paranoia is just a state of mind.

I tried to answer all your questions. However, I did get the logfile you
wanted to know about. I do want the results emailed to me. I don't have
SMTP
installed and configured. I thought I didn't need it. I don't have any
domains. This is one server on my network I use to test out things. Let me
know if you need any additional information. I really like to get this
worked
out. Below I pasted my logfile and the code from my form.html file.

Here is what is in my last log file. I didn't add all of the info, but I
think this is what is important:

Hi, everybody

I've reinstalled FP 2002 after removing winrar (see my other thread,
thanks for the insight GC). It took a bit of time squeezed in due to
many
other committments to accomplish it, but I finally got back to where I
was....sort of.

I've installed IIS (5.1) on a clean install XP Pro machine with FP2002
server extensions and created a test web w/FP 2002 SE.

I've sucessfully opened the test web, created a default.htm page and a
very simple form using "insert form" under tools. The fom consists of a
the basic submit/rest buttons and a text field.

I've tried this all 3 ways (actually, I went and created 3 identical
but
separate test webs, but that's beside the point):

First I configured the form with both a text file and and email
message,
using the form properties to set in the email address and verifying the
file name.

Then I configured the form with ONLY an email message.

Then I configured the form with ONLY a text file

I configured IIS to use the default smtp server with the basic
source/reply-to email addresses (which are valid).

Here is what I get with all three scenarios on an xp machine running IE
6,
sp2.

"FrontPage Error.
User: please report details to this site's webmaster.
Webmaster: please see the server's application event log for more
details.
"

That's it.

FYI, there is no information in the event log of the machine accessing
the
test web or in the event log of the machine running II6. Nada.

I've searched the knowledge base and found Q201799, which applies to
FP2000SE. However, the requisite event log entry is not present on the
server and I don't think the conditions apply. Ditto for 196489,
308242,
264977, 296697, 174406, etc.).

FWIW, the "results" file, with the correct name with a .csv file type
and
date/time stamp, is created in "\_private" but with a zero length.

If this is a permissions issue on the server, I'm not sure how to
correct
it or how to correctly specify permissions using the FP2002SE
administration page.

Any ideas? With an event log entry, I haven't a clue what's wrong.

Thanks in advance.
