[Guest]

I have been on the phone with go daddy and microsoft. I am using FP 2002 and
all of a sudden my forms no longer work on my site:here is the page
http://www.jchristopherwhite.com/Newslettersignup.htm what I am being told
is that the extensions are installed correctly but it is looking for the file
www.jchristopherwhite.com/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/Newslettersignup.htm and they
cannot find the file on the server....How it disappeared I do not know...I
may have done it some how......they were working fine. How can I reinstall
this file to get the forms to work...I have tried republishing entire
site...didn't work...Please help...can I do this manually...please explain in
simple terms I am a newbie....do I need to get into the site live....do I
need to wipe the site off the server and start over...please help

Ask GoDaddy to run a server health check and/or re-install the extensions for your account.

There aren't any FP extensions on that web.

http://www.jchristopherwhite.com/_vti_inf.html should return a page with
extension info...it don't.

Ask GoDaddy to run a server health check and/or re-install the extensions for your account.

FYI, reinstalling is easily done through their Control Panel. Simply
uncheck the box for "FrontPage Extensions" and they will be removed.
Recheck the box about a half hour later and they're reinstalled.

Thomas,
Just want to say thanks on your advice. I was searching and searching but
could not get the submit button to function properly. A login box would
apear when the submit button was pressed. I re-installed the extensions and
the form works propperly now.
Thanks,
