How do you tell difference between disk-based and server-based web

[Guest]

Hi I'm having a problem with addign subwebs to my web, its says when i try create new web from file > new, that unable to create disk-based web at c:\mywebs\web because its parent web would not be a disk-based web.
When i try to publish a web to c:\mywebs\web i get, the folder is contained by a server-based web, to access this web you must use the http://url, but i don't have permission to access that?

Could someone please explain to me the difference between disk and server based webs, as well as how frontpage tells them apart?

Thanks,
LB

Disc based webs are file location based
- C:\path\folder
Server based webs are URL based
- http://.....

There must be a disc based root web at C:\mywebs in order for you to create a subweb in it at C:\mywebs\web
If C:\mywebs exists as a FP web
Open the root web File open Web C:\mywebs\
Add a folder named web under the root
Right click the folder web to convert it to a new web (subweb / subsite)

Did all that but it won't let me convert to web.
I can however convert to web when open the http://...
So what is the problem with my web at C:\mywebs\web?
Is there a file say in _vti_pvt that tells frontpage that the the web is disk or server based?

You can not have a diskbased web inside a serverbased web. It sounds to me that that is what you are trying to do.

Am I?

I didn't think i was. The web on my computer isn't being served, I have to update what i do onto the server. So how do I turn the web on my computer back into a disk-based one, as it used to be as I remember creating new webs previously.

Thanks

Be specific
Did all what?
Did you Open the root web in FP using File Open Web and browse to: C:\mywebs\

Do you have PWS of IIS installed?
- have you changed it to point to C:\mywebs\ as your IIS root web

Opened the root web in Frontpage.
Created a new folder.
Then right clicked the folder and said convert to web
At this point i recieved the error, "Unable to create a disk-based web at c:\mywebs\web because its parent web would not be a disk-based web"

Do you have PWS of IIS installed?

I do have IIS installed, but i'm sure the root web never pointed to c:\mywebs\
It may at one point have been a virtual directory, just to test something, but it isn't anymore.

Thanks

Sounds like FP still considers the folder location "C:\mywebs\" as a virtual web under IIS
- check IIS to see if it is still listed somewhere
If it is empty, File Open Web C:\mywebs\ and right click it (root) to delete it
- you can also select the option to just remove the FP web information and not the content
- then try to create a new disc based web folder in FP - Say C:\MyWeb or C:\wwwMyWebs
If it is not empty, File Open Web C:\mywebs\ and File Publish it to a new disc based web location
- Say C:\MyWeb or C:\wwwMyWebs
