Dear Kevin;
I have a same front page problem with Hugh's as follow:
>> "A FrontPage web could not be created for this site. FrontPage may not
>> be
>> enabled if the existing web site contains files that conflict with
>> FrontPage webs, such as .htaccess files."
I didn't fix my problem yet.
I tried " http://www.nuonce.net/fp-fix.html".
I tried incert "MIMEMagicFile /dev/null " to
/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/siteXX
Also I tried "/usr/local/bin/fix_frontpage_perms.pl".
Nothing fix my problem.
I just created a new site with front page server funtion.
But the msg "A FrontPage web could not be created for this site.."
occurrs.
I like to try your advice. But I am not clearly what you said.
I am poor English reader. Would you expain it more detail ?
1) The advice is one execution of "owsadm.exe" ?
2) What do you mean folloiwngs ? I just "find" or "remove" the
folders/files ?
>> Also run a find on that web directory hunting for any _vti
folders/files that
>> may be hiding in sub-directories.
