Newbie: problem with Discussion Web Wizard

[Zalek Bloom]

Hello,

I am writing ASP/VBScript applications and I am using FrontPage 2000
to create screens. I am testing my programs using PWS on Win98SE
machine and bought place on a server that has ASP with FrontPage
extensions.

I used Discussion Web Wizard and created a Discussion applications.
When I try to post a message I am getting:

"FrontPage Run-Time Component Page
You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page that requires a
web server and the FrontPage Server Extensions to function properly.
This form or other FrontPage component will work correctly if you
publish this web to a web server that has the FrontPage Server
Extensions installed."

Click the <Back> arrow to return to the previous page."

But I installed FrontPage extensions on my PWS!
When I transfered my files to a server that has FrontPage extensions
installed I am getting the same message.
I looked on HTML code on the page that posts a message, and it points
to to the page that displayes the above message.

Any ideas how to make the discussion app working?

Thanks,

Zalek

I've cured that problem by setting the correct permissions. Strange
but true.

You must access the page via http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 on your
local machine when testing and on for the remote server, you must publish
via FP's http mode.

Well, that is what I did. I added to PWS directory with my discussion
group, I verified that in Microsoft Management Control Console my
discussion group directory (vir) in under directory Front Page Server
Extensions - and this is what I am getting.

On my remote server I have an option - install FrontPage extensions -
I did it, and it created a few directories like _vti_cnf, _vti_log and
few more - but still my discussion group is not working.

You must have a web open in FP, then select to either add the discussion web
to the current web or as a subweb under the current web, and since you are
running the PWS, you should always open and work on your web via FP at
http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1
