Hi,
I have a website that I publish to a Server. The Server is MS 2003 and has
2002 server extension on it. I am using Frontpage 2003.

I have a database in the fpdb folder. I have created a database extension.
Then I try to use the Database Interface Wizard to create pages to use the
database. I publish the site. At that point when I veiw thesepages, I only
get error messages saying the page cannot be viewed. If I create new webage
and use the
Insert-->Database-->Review or create a Form and use the connection. When I
publish these pages...they work.
Is there some sort of bug in the Database Interface Wizard or am I not doing
something correctly.
 
What are the error messages?
Are the pages viewable by the public, if so, what is the URL?
 
Ronx,
The root website can be seen at http://snr-0563.unl.edu:9006/
The first two links are to files I made with the wizard. The third is the
submit form from the wizard with a lot of stuff deleted out.
The last two are the files I made from "scratch" using the Insert or Form.
Thanks.

Your server does not allow Parent Paths. The error message on the first
link explains what to do, but not how.

Allowing parent paths can be a security risk - a badly, or maliciously,
written asp page can refer to files above the root of the web, IIS6 (in
Windows 2003) defaults to disallowing parent paths.

There are three choices:
1 Ask your host or server admin to allow parent paths in your website.
This is easiest, if your host is willing.
2 Code your own ASP pages to interact with the database.
3 Move all your pages to the root folder of the web. There will be some
hand changes to be made, since the paths in the <!--#include
file="../../blah "--> will not be altered by FrontPage. These paths must
lose the ../ parts, hence moving the pages to the root folder.
