I guess no-one here knows. Please could someone suggest a better newsgroup
to post to about this?

| || Some more information:
||
|| 1) If I open My Network Places and open "Add Network Place", and type in
|| http://localhost, I get the message "the folder you entered does not
| appear
|| to be valid. Please choose another." Thus the problem has nothing to do
| with
|| FrontPage, it is a Windows or IIS problem, and not a FrontPage problem.
||
|| 2) If I right-click My Computer and select Manage, then open the Event
|| Viewer, under Application I can see several Errors, all of which say
| "COM+"
|| under "Source"; and if I double-click on any of them, the Event
Properties
|| Description reads:
||
|| "The run-time environment has detected an inconsistency in its internal
|| state. This indicates a potential instability in the process that could
be
|| caused by the custom components running in the COM+ application, the
|| components they make use of, or other factors. Error in
|| d:\qxp_slp\com\com1x\src\comsvcs\txprop\dtcinfo.cpp(158).hr=8000fffff:
|| TransactionManager->GetWhereaboutsSize. For more information see Help and
|| Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp"
||
|| If I click the link to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp, I get a
|| message saying There is no additional information about this issue in the
|| Error and Event Log Messages or Knowledge Base databases"
||
|| Does that give anyone a clue? Do I have a corrupt COM file? If so, how do
| I

||
||
||
|| || Hi - can anyone help me? I'm reposting this because I've had no responses
| to
|| my original post, apart from one suggestion that I uninstall and
reinstall
|| IIS, which I did but it made no difference.
||
|| I'm using FrontPage 2000 and Windows XP SP2. I recently bought a new
| laptop
|| and I can't remember how to set up a local web so that FrontPage will
|| recognise it. On my old laptop, if I go into FrontPage and select File +
|| Open Web, I can see "Web folders" under "My Computer", and within "Web
|| folders" I can see "localhost", and all the websites that I have created
|| within localhost. Also, if I type http://localhost/ or
|| http://localhost/DavesWeb/, the website opens.
||
|| I have copied all my data to my new laptop, and installed IIS and the
|| FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions. On my new machine I can go to
|| http://localhost/DavesWeb in my browser. But in FrontPage, if I select
| File
|| + Open Web, I can't see "Web folders" under "My Computer"; and if I type
|| http://localhost/ or http://localhost/DavesWeb/, I get a message saying:
|| "The folder http://localhost/DavesWeb/ [for example] isn't accessible.
The
|| folder may be located on an unavailable volume or protected with a
|| password." The message box also referred me to a text file, "wecerr.txt",
|| which stated: "Server Application Error. The server has encountered an
| error
|| while loading an application during the processing of your request.
Please
|| refer to the even log for more detail [sic] information. Please contact
| the
|| server administrator for assistance."
||
|| Yet as I say, I can open http://localhost/DavesWeb/ from within my
| browser.
||
|| Also, if I go into IIS on my new laptop and right-click the DavesWeb
| folder
|| and select "All Tasks" + "Open in FrontPage", it just opens index.html,
| but
|| not the website (i.e. there's no folder list). And if I right-click on
|| "Default Web Site" in IIS and select "All Tasks" + "Open With FrontPage",
| I
|| get in message in FrontPage saying: "The server could not complete your
|| request. Contact your Internet Service Provider or web server
| administrator
|| to make sure that the server has the FrontPage Server Extensions
| installed.
|| For more specific information click Details." Clicking "Details" gives
the
|| same message as in "wecerr.txt" above.
||
|| Also, if I open "C:\inetpub\wwwroot" in FrontPage, and then right-click
on
|| the "Davesweb" folder and select "Convert to web", I get a message:
| "Server
|| error: Unable to create a disk-based web at "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Davesweb"
|| because the parent web would not be a disk-based web. Create the
| disk-based
|| web elsewhere, outside of your web server's document hierarchy." I tried
|| googling for this, but the posts I saw all said I should open the root
web
|| in FP as a server based web (http://localhost) - which as I say,
FrontPage
|| won't let me do.
||
|| And whereas on my old laptop, if I open http://localhost/Davesweb in
|| FrontPage and select Tools + Web Settings, the dialog box says "Server
|| version: Microsoft-IIS/5.1", on my new laptop, if I open
|| "C:\inetpub\wwwroot" in FrontPage (it won't let me open
|| "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Davesweb" as a web), and select Tools + Web
Settings,
| ,
|| the dialog box says "Server version: no server installed."
||
|| Clearly I haven't configured IIS correctly in order for FrontPage to
|| recognise that there is a local web on http://localhost/ - although my
|| browser does recognise it.
||
|| What do I need to do to fix this?
