FP 2003 Form Requires UN & PM on Submit

T

Todd

I been using Frontpage 2003 to manage/design my Alumni Website I created at
www.mcclainhs.com . I've had it up over a year now.

I have been adding alumni profiles using FP2003 Form located on this page
here: www.mcclainhs.com/profile.htm . I have NEVER had an issue with this
form as it has worked perfectly until recent. I attempted to apply a UPLOAD
component (for profile pictures) to the form I been using and decided that it
was no need for it right away so removed it. I done nothing different in the
form properties at all. (none/zero/ziltch) But I saved the page prior to
closing it although I done nothing to change it. (Out of habit actually)

I did however try a test submission to make sure it was working (hadnt
received profile in a few days is why) and when I hit submit a dialog box
appeared prompting me to enter a UN & PW. Here is the content of the dialog
box:

The server mcclainhs.com at : requires a username and password.

Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent
in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).

The folder the info is sent to (server side) is able to be written to
(chmod), and I also have a copy forwarded to my email account as well. I have
uninstalled, reinstalled FP Extensions multiple times now with no success.

What is funny though is that this form will work from time to time so I'm
not always getting the pop-up box requesting my UN & PW.

Any ideas would be helpfull. I have searched high and low on this topic
(google/yahoo/microsoft) and have found others w/ the same issue, with NO
results.

Yes I have, and they say that they (Godaddy) show nothing on their side as to
why this occurs. They get the UN & PW prompt too.

FYI, server is linux and FPE are installed.

Your form is trying to save results to the folder/file "formresults/profile.txt"
- the folder formresults may not have the correct write permissions
Try changing it to the _private folder
(which by default has the correct write permissions)

What exactly did you do? I am having the same problem (yes, with GoDaddy
Linux) and do not know where to make this change. Is it in FP, or the host?
Can I do it, or do they have to?

Thanks.

You can do it yourself. Man you talk about annoying. This happen before on
another site of mine, I just dont know what causes it.

This is what I did, rather than pointing/forwarding a copy of the result of
the form to the _private folder which is not a public folder, I created
another folder just for my form results. (lets say I called that folder
"results" ) I havnt made it a private folder, but you can in godaddys file
manager if you ever wanted to on down the road. Then I created a blank text
file using notepad. (lets say I named it "info.txt" ) I'm not using the .csv
extension no longer although I could if I wanted to.

Under the Form Properties I'm sending to: results/info.txt and also sending
this to my email account. Form Properties I left at default: FrontPage_Form1
Under Form Properties Options the file format I'm using is: Text database
using space as a separator. Of course you have your comfirmation page to
include too.

When you test this after saving make sure you go into your control panel
under internet options and delete your history/cookies

See if that works. If not call godaddy just in case while the form isnt
working so they can see it too. They did tell me if it happens again to
completely uninstall the FPE, wait half hour then reinstall FPE. Do just do a
re-install b/c sometimes it doesnt work either.

Let me know if it helped you too if you choose to do it this way.
