Cannot access site after upgrading to FP2003

[Joe Grover]

I have a website on a Windows 2000 SP4 with FP2000 server extensions. I can
connect to/publish to this site with no problem with FrontPage 2000 or
FrontPage 2002 (I was using FP2000 myself).

I recently upgraded to FrontPage 2003, and now when I try to open my web I
get an error indicating that the site is not available or is protected with
a password. If I uninstall and go back to FP2000 I can open the web fine.

Any ideas?

Hi Joe,

Try this under start->run after installing FP2003,
frontpg http://yoursitename.com

If this opens the main page of the site, then its mostly that the Web
Folders are not installed properly on the system. To reinstall this you
could try a basic fix of running webfldrs.msi and doing a reinstall, if
that fails then go through each step in the Article - KB287402

Vijay

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately I'm not having any problems with web
folders (I can create a web folder to http://mydomain.com on my machine
fine). However trying to connect to that web in FrontPage 2003 I still get
the error, and when running the frontpg http://mydomain.com command I get
this:

Could not find a Web server at 'www.mydomain.com'. Please check to make
sure that the Web server name is valid and your proxy settings are set
correctly. If you are sure that everything is correct, the Web server may
be temporarily out of service.

I'm not behind a firewall or anything, and if I uninstall FP2003 and go back
to FP2000 (or connect using FP2000/FP2002 from another machine) I can
connect to the web server fine. I've duplicated this on another machine as
well.

Does FP2003 require FP2002 server extensions or something in order to
connect?

Yes FP2003 (like all prior versions) requires a host running the FP SE to connect
- FP 2003 supports at least the FP 2000 or FP 2002 SE

Scratch that, I was typing .com instead of .org. on the frontpg command.

Your webfolders re-installation took care of it on my machine.

However I do have one other problem: On another computer I get an entirely
different error. When opening the FrontPage 2003 I get the error that it's
unable to load STSNWI.DLL.

I don't even have that on my machine that's working fine, and can find no
reference to it on yahoo/google. I uninstalled/reinstalled FP2003 but still
get that error. Do you know what that file is for/where it can be found?

And thanks again for your help!

That file has been removed from FP with the introduction of SharePoint
- but if you have broken web folders and WinInet is broken FP will still call it
You need to try the web folder repairs - see
