Right. You can have a web -- typically default web in d:\inetpub\wwwroot and have (or have not) extended. There should be no issues with also having an extended web in d:\inetpub\somethingelse either. Just don't expect it to work if you it in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\somethingelse. FrontPage2000 and higher will have kittens with that. And don't extend a d:\inetpub itself. More kittens if you do.
The build of the .NET run time from 2/15/2002 forward seems to be nonplus to this issue. I suspect you're fine using the Everett (1.1) build as you've described. I've run that since for weeks without issue. And I swear that someplace in the core logic of IIS that if it detects that FPSEs have installed, it enumerates the various admin groups puts us on it's "people whose's heads I need to mess with" list. kt -----Original Message----- From: Okie Tex [mailto:okie_tex@;hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 10:28 PM To: IIS50 Discussions Subject: RE: .net and FrontPage Thanks Kent for the information let me clarify one thing ... >I don't recall having heard of it requiring diverse volumes however. well, what I mean is that I can have webs that will work with FrontPage Extensions either at c:\WHATEVERDIR\ or another volume/drive d:\ or e:\ etc... and it will work. I just never made it work having any web server with FrontPage EXTs under the "default" c:\inetpub\ directory... that was where I was testing and it just wouldn't work. And, maybe they are forcing you now to not do that?? Well -- maybe I'm nuts on this... maybe I've gone or going crazy! Yesterday I tested this on 2 other machines and it did what I said above and in the original post. Now, on 2 different machines (equipped close to the same ... different .NET install though), it isn't doing what I'm saying ... anyway -- sorry for posting ... but now I'm confused and will have to figure out where my differences are and if I was *seeing* things!!!! thanks for helping out! -jason >From: "Tegels, Kent" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >It seems to be that's as well known as any of FPSE quirks.
