I always get this message:
Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this page:
http://.....

I tried everything there is in the KnowledgeBase but I
still have this message. One thing I noticed though, in
the page and in the form line, there is:

action="_vti_bin/shtml.dll/xxx.htm"

But when I go to the actual directory, I don't see any
_vti_bin directory. I have access to the server, so any
help is greatly appreciated.

You ISP needs to support the server extensions - check with your host/ISP and
Click to expand...
have them install the extensions (if it's your own server then I don't
know......).
..
also, the _vti_bin folder could be a hidden folder as it is a 'system' folder
used by the FP Extensions, which is why you can't see or view it.

If you're on a Windows server, you should be able to set it to 'show hidden
files/folders'
or on Unix (telnet in anycase), the command "-ls" (no quotes) or -la will list
hidden files/folders as well.
