Event viewer log entry question

[Steve Grosz]

I have been getting this entry for a little while now. And not sure how
to get it to stop. I did delete the \fpdb folder from my IIS web
because I wasn't going to use it any longer.
Any ideas on how to make this message stop appearing?

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Server
Event Category: None
Event ID: 2511
Date: 6/10/2004
Time: 9:29:56 AM
User: N/A
Computer: WEB-SERVER
Description:
The server service was unable to recreate the share fpdb because the
directory C:\Web Sites\Scooterville\fpdb no longer exists.

Thanks,
Steve

If you are using ASP and FP creates the fpdb folder, even if you never store the database in it, DO
NOT delete it.

This occurs because you:

1. Set up a Windows sharename.
2. Deleted the physical directory where the sharename
points.
3. *Didn't* remove the sharename from the computer's
list of shares.

In most cases, the corrective procedure is:

1. Open the Computer Management administrative tool.
2. Open Systems Tools, Shjared Folders, Shares.
3. Right-click the sharename.
4. Select Stop Sharing.
