Windows SharePoint Services problem

[Josh Halberthal]

Hi,

I am using Frontpage 2003 on WinXP Pro and my IIS version is V5.1.
This morning while opening my local site I got the following message:

"The webserver at http://localhost does not appear to have Windows
SharePoint Services installed".

What happened and how can I install Windows SharePoint Services to get
running again? I had the same problem about a year ago but cannot
remember how it was solved.

I am pretty much at loss and any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Josh

Did you actually read the replies I gave you in the STS newsgroup where you
originally posted this ?

Mike:
I don't see a post from Josh in the microsoft.public.sharepoint.teamservices
group (if that's the group you're referring to when you say STS). What was
your reply?

Thanks, Mike, for your reply. I have read it and my sincere apologies
for the double posting.

Regards, Josh

Hi Kathleen,

That would be because the same problem was posted 12 hours earlier *here* in
this newsgroup under the "Problem opening my local host" subject line.

You can see my replies there. (Mainly advising him to contact a FP newsgroup
and that WSS required Windows 2003 and IIS 6.0)

I assumed incorrectly that the previous post (that I had replied to 4 hours
earlier) was to the STS newsgroup (they often are). Sorry for the confusion.

Not a major problem <grin>.

But you see the problems caused by starting a new thread instead of carrying
on with the old one - people (i.e. me) get confused
