[FrontPage File Upload Component]

[Byron Sharp]

I am trying to use the [FrontPage File Upload Component] with no
success :-(

Everytime I try to upload a small JPG file (or any file) I get the
error:
Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this page:
"http://funkyactionman.com/upload/index.htm"

It doesnt even matter which page is the upload page it will still not
work? anyone have any ideas??? Is this common???

 

[Steve Easton]

Does your host allow anonymous uploads??

you may need to call your hosting company and ask them to "turn-on"
FrontPage extensions for your website.

According to my test using the URL you provided, extensions are not
installed for your remote web.

How to check and see if FP Server Extensions are installed on the host
server:
http://www.dnswiz.com/fptype.htm

or, type in your website root URL with /_vti_inf.html ex:
http://www.mysitename.com/_vti_inf.html and you will see whether your site
has them installed and enabled.

Try changing the file extension

http://funkyactionman.com/upload/index.htm

to

http://funkyactionman.com/upload/index.shtml

And then remove and reinsert your upload component

Tom -
http://www.dnswiz.com/fptype.htm tells me neither of my domains have the
extensions installed, but both do. Wonder why?

Have you verified this with your host?

Frontpage extentions are installed and 'switched on'

Changed the file name to index.shtml and now i get a Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL
/upload/index.shtml.

 

[Steve Easton]

Ok change it back and recreate your upload form.

done

1. The site must be hosted on a Windows IIS web server, not Unix/Linux.
2. Host must allow the upload component to be used under the FP extensions.

Does "Cannont Run Frontpage Extensions" give you a clue? This is a server
problem - check with your host. Do they allow you to upload files? (They
may not).
