The contents of administration Web pages for a Web site may appear in binary data when you use FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions
SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario.
- You have installed FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions from Microsoft on a Microsoft Windows-based computer.
- You use Microsoft SharePoint Administrator to open administration Web pages for a Web site in a Web browser.
In the current scenario, when you open the administration Web pages, the contents of the administration Web pages may appear as a combination of lines, plain text, and binary data instead of administration hyperlinks. Additionally, you may notice that the affected Web pages contain the following text entry:
This program cannot be run in DOS mode.
CAUSE
This issue may occur if the _vti_binWeb site does not have the Scripts and Executables permission.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, assign the Scripts and Executables permission to the _vti_bin Web site. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. To do this, follow the steps for your version of IIS:
- For IIS 4.0:
- Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack.
- Click Microsoft Internet Information Server.
- Click Internet Service Manager.
- For IIS 5.0:
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Services Manager.
- For IIS 6.0: Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
- Expand the server name, and then expand the Web site that you want to configure.
- Right-click the _vti_binWeb site, and then click Properties.
- Click the Virtual Directory tab, click Scripts and Executables in the Execute permissions list, and then click OK.
- Quit Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
