(Running FrontPage 2002, Window XP-Pro, and IIS 5,5 -- all updates are
installed)

Hi,

FrontPage publishes just fine to http://localhost/projectName.

When I take the link after publishing to view the website locally, IE comes
up and just sits there...the lower IE portion says "Web site found. Waiting
for reply ..."

What is happening? Am I doing something wrong?

ThanX for your help!!!!!!
 
Have you enabled anonymous browsing for the web in IIS??

I have looked everywhere except the right place to set web browsing to
anonymous ! Where is that setting found in IIS?

ThanX for the speedy reply!
 
Steve: yes, it is set for anonymous browsing, with IIS controlling the
password, and Integrated Windows Authentication checked.
 
Steve: I am using "default.asp" as the landing page ... I have found that
IIS doesn't like this, nor "default.htm." It works just fine with
index,htm!

How do I get around this????? I am writing the site with ASP code.
 
Change the setting for the "default" page in IIS, or move default.asp to the top of the list.

Are you running Norton Antivirus? Try turning off the option to block
scripts.
 
I am totally blown away at what I just found. The default page is one that
was known to work on an external web server.

It seems IIS did not like the include statements ,,, I removed the "#" in
all includes, and the page rendered. I added the "#" back again, and it now
works!

I do not understand!!!!!! In the good old days, we called this :"FM !"
 
I've also use the recalculate hyperlinks feature in IIS to resolve "issues."
Had forgotten about it though.
