Frontpage2003 / Iis 6.0 Trouble

hey guys!

ok the setup is as so..

im running server 2003, iis 6.0 and frontpage 2003.

im working with iis at the moment and decided to crate a basic website to play with.
so i create a website with 2 pages, a welcome page and a form to fill out.
all done with frontpage 2003 and saved to the default directory with is in my documents.

i go into iis and right click websites and create a new one...
i go through the steps and finish, but when i right click on the new website and click browse it gives me a good old
you are not authorized to view this page error...

now ive added a cname in dns so i know its not that..
and after a job lot of pissing about and adding all sorts of permissions to the site and the home folder eventually it lets me browse
the site in iis and i can resolve to it ok in ie6

however.. lol the form i have (the second page) displays ok but when i click submit it wont go through.. i get a frontpage error..
please report to the webmaster.

can anyone shed some light on this?

how do i setup the website so that everyone is authorized to view it...

and how do i make the form work?

 

hey guys!

i think (and think only lol) that ive sorted my "not authorized to view page" error by
ensuring that the iusr\localhost user had been added to the premissions acl in iis

and

going into directory security and making sure anonymous access was checked AND that i specified the password and comfirmed it.
i feel doing the password has made a difference and ive deleted the website and made it again in iis and tried this and it makes the difference

but i still need help with correctly configuring my webpage form to work properly..
front page server extensions 2002 are installed and the site is extended.

but i get either a page cannot be found or a frontpage error

any help is most most welcome!

 

Ok I admit that this is over my head but I am sure it will be reviewed again. Sometimes things get behind on the weekend. Sorry!

 

Hi,

Server OS and hardware I am very good with, I have not however dabbled in websites for a long time.
I am sure that BSchwarz will be able to help you

 

Make sure that you have specified a default document and make sure that frontpage extensions are enabled for the new website. You have to enable them per site as well as global.
