I have a web page I created with Frontpage. I added a new page but it won't
publish and the link bar keeps disappearing. Argh!! WIth the new page, I get
a 403 error. What's going on?

If you type any type of web address that does exist on your site, a 404
error will occur.

Make sure that you have the correct file name extension. Even the period "."
before the file name extension can sometimes be mispelled to a comma or
something else and it will not work. The incorrect spelling of the file name
extension will also cause this.

Some of the common file name extensions - .htm, .html, .asp, .php
When you perform a "save as", you can see all the different file name
extensions. For common sites, it is a good idea to stick with .htm or .html.
This will allow forms to work and general navigation is easy. .asp files are
for server side scripts for use with databases and such, but the built in
forms in frontpage will not work with a asp extension.

Hope this helps...

A 403 error means the permissions are wrong for something on the server.
Definitely contact the host to see what could be going on. Usually this
means that you don't have the proper create file permissions.

Mike:

The poster was asking about a 403 error, not 404. 403 is a permissions
issue.
