cannot run server extentions on redirect

[Guest]

Hi.
I have a form with a confirmation page. I have the confirmation page set up
to redirect to the main page after 3 seconds. The form submits all the
information, and it links to the confirmation page.

The problem is when the confirmation page redirects to the main page I get
the error:
Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this page: "www.website.com"

How are you implementing the re-direct?

Try using
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="3;
URL=http://www.example.com/mainpage.htm">

Replace www.example.com with your own domain.

That worked great! Thanks.

One more thing, I have an upload form and when you click upload at prompts
you with a login. How do I enable anonymous uploads? I have write permissions
enabled.

Do you have write permissions for the anonymous user for the folder the
uploads are directed to?
Open the remote (live) website and right-click on the folder - This
should NOT be the _private folder.
Choose Properties
Clear the box "Allow scripts to be run"
Tick the boxes "Allow anonymous upload to this directory" and (optional)
"Allow uploaded files to overwrite existing filenames"
Click OK

If any steps in this dialogue are not available you must ask your host
to apply the permissions.

Your uploads may be limited to less than 1MB per file.

What do you mean open the remote (live) website? Where do I open it from?

I changed the settings but it didn't fix the problem...

Does your host allow the upload function? Some don't.

If you have set the folder to allow anonymous uploads, then you should
not get a login dialogue, unless the form is uploading to a different
folder. You may have to ask your host to change the permissions.
