submit thanks or confirmation page from an enquiry form

[Guest]

I am attempting to do a web site that is an addon to an existing account.

When the submit button is pressed in stead of going to a thanks page as my
main site does it directs to a ULR containing /_vti_bin/shtml.exe/enq.htm
that shows the image of my main sites thanks page.

The confirmation set up appears to be OK witin the form properties and front
page extensions have been re-installed a couple of times.

Any advise would be appreciated.

1. Does the site have the FP extensions installed and configured to process FP forms?

2. If the site has the FP extensions, how did the form get on the site?

If enq.htm is the confirmation page, then this URL is correct for a form
processed by the FrontPage extensions.
Is there a problem?

Hi
The site has front page extensions installed and the site was loaded via
front page publisher.

To expand on things a little my origional site
www.casper-entertainment.co.uk works OK the addon site
www.pb-electrical.co.uk was made from the same basic template. When the
second site enquiry form is posted it directs to the origional thanks page
withought images. feel free to look and click.

Any advise welcomed thanks Alan.

Hi

The confirmation page is set as thanks.htm. The enq.htm is the page where
the form is located.

Was pb-electrical published as a subsite of casper-entertainment?
The site www.pb-electrical.co.uk appears to have no FrontPage extensions
installed, and is probably using the FrontPage extensions for the site
www.casper-entertainment.co.uk, and thus will use the thanks.htm page
for casper-entertainment.
To use forms on a web site, each domain must have its own set of
FrontPage extensions.

Hi
Yes pb-electrical is a sub site but front page extensions have been added to
the site via the hosting providers control panel.

Look at
www.casper-entertainment.co.uk/_vti_inf.html and
www.pb-electrical.co.uk/_vti_inf.html

Spot the difference?
The 404 error indicates a lack of server extensions for that domain.

Sub sites will automatically inherit extensions from the root web. You
cannot install a new set of extensions on a sub web. If you tried this
manually (as opposed to using the Control Panel) you will see error
messages stating that "a new web cannot be produced since the parent
folder is already a web." [not an exact quote, but close enough].

You will have to reorganise your web space so that:
The existing root folder is empty apart from folders for each web site.
Each domain has its own folder - domains will not be in subsites. DNS
will have to be amended - this can be done from some control panels.
Then apply extensions to each domain, independently.
