IIS - Message Board Won't Work
Asked By RosaY
08-Feb-10 10:35 PM
I have a message board on my site. Front Page Extensions are installed. I
have the message directed to my email address, but when a message is put in,
what comes up is "Page not found." On the dialog box that comes up in Front
Page when I click on the form and click Properties, I have checked Send to
and under it have filled in my email address, but there is also a space to
put in a file name. I have left that space blank, not knowing what to put in.
Is that the problem, and if so, what file name goes into that space?
Expression Web

Front Page

Symonds

Nortbots.htmhttp

In that space goes any file you also want to save the form data in (the
file would normally be in the _private folder).
A link to the page might help solve the problem -- along with your
image problem.

I tried that. Now when I try a test message I get this notice:
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.
Click the <Back> arrow to return to the previous page.
This sounds as though the FrontPage Server Extensions are not installed, but
according to the control panel of my web host, they are installed. Also, my
hit counter does not work, and I suspect that again it is a problem with the
FrontPage extensions. But I have tried reinstalling them, and nothing helps.

That message comes from _derived/nortbots.htm
http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp/articles/2008/10/22/01/nortbots.htm_error.aspx
explains the error and how it happens.
The form page must be HTTP published to the website, not FTPed.

Frontpage is Dead - Conversion to Expression (Web) Almost Impossible IIS Microsoft in its wisdom abandoned Frontpage in 2007 along with all of its users. The replacement Expression (Web) is fraught with bugs, and has yet to become stable. It has not yet been STEEP learning curve (actually many) for those who want to convert exisitng Frontpage webs to Expression. Many elect not to do so. MS has shot itslef in the foot by abandoning for the product. These are: 1 / small business owners who have easily built their own web site in Frontpage, 2 / web designers for those small business owners, and 3 / those who have created large hobby websites. For them to convert to Expression will not be easy - using FP Extensions are out, as are many other FP features

it "going away" and being completely replaced with Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007 and Microsoft Expression Web? We have a number of folks who do some minor work on pages, though they are not web dev. So, their concern of course, is having to move to a whole new program what we need to prepare them for?
