The Configure Server Extensions command is missing when you try to enable FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions or FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions on a Web site
Consider the following scenario. You run the IIS Lockdown
Tool and the URLScan tool on a computer that is running Microsoft Internet
Information Services (IIS) 5.0. Additionally, the computer is running either
FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions from Microsoft or FrontPage 2000 Server
Extensions from Microsoft. After you run the IIS Lockdown Tool and the URLScan
tool, you use Internet Services Manager to create a new Web site. However, when
you try to enable Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions on the Web site, you
experience the following symptoms:
- If you right-click the Web site, and then point to
All Tasks, the Configure Server Extensions
command is missing from the submenu. Only the Permissions
Wizard command appears in the submenu. Therefore, you cannot enable
FrontPage Server Extensions for the Web site.
- If you view the properties of the Web site, the
Server Extensions tab is missing from the
VirtualServerName Properties dialog
box.
You do not experience these symptoms on existing Web sites that
you created before you ran the IIS Lockdown Tool and the URLScan tool.
This issue may occur if the following conditions are true:
- The IIS Lockdown Tool removed the Administration Web site
from IIS 5.0.
- The new Web site that you created uses the Web site
instance that is reserved for the Administration Web site. The Administration
Web site typically uses Web site instance 2.
FrontPage Server Extensions cannot be enabled on the
Administration Web site. Therefore, if a Web site uses the Web site instance
that is typically used for the Administration Web site, you cannot enable
FrontPage Server Extensions on that Web site.
To work around this issue, create a new Web site, and then
enable FrontPage Server Extensions on the Web site. To do this, follow these
steps:
- Create a new Web site. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start Internet Service Manager.
- Right-click
ServerName, point to New, and then
click Web site.
- Follow the instructions that appear in the Web Site
Creation Wizard to create the Web site.
- Enable FrontPage Server Extensions on the Web site. To do
this, follow these steps:
- Right-click the Web site, point to All
Tasks, and then click Configure Server
Extensions.
- Follow the instructions that appear in the Server
Extensions Configuration Wizard to enable FrontPage Server Extensions on the
Web site.
