IIS and FPSE

Hi,

I have a problem with a setup of Frontpage Server Extensions on my Windows 2003 webedition server.

The senario is as this:

First i create a web called a.com, a useraccount called acom and that is pointing to H:\www\a.com\

I add the serverextension by commandline:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\50\bin\owsadm.exe" -o install -u acom -m a.com
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\50\bin\owsadm.exe" -o check -u acom -m a.com -web /

Now i connect to a.com with my frontpage and it works just fine.

Secondly i wish to add a new site, but with diffrent host headers, we call it b.com and we point it towards H:\www\a.com\

and run the following:
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\50\bin\owsadm.exe" -o install -u acom -m b.com
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\50\bin\owsadm.exe" -o check -u acom -m b.com -web /

Both sites is now upp and running and is working great, frontpage functions is working on both.

When i now connect to b.com with frontpage write in acom as the user, it wont let me in. If i check access logs with event viewer i dont get any access denied, when looking in filemon it wont give me any errors either. But when i try to login with Administrator it lets me in. I have also tried to add acom to the administrators group but it is not helping.

Have anyone got a solution or some tips for this?

Thanks in advance

Have you tried using the gui for your server extensions? I don't have 2003 but in earlier versions there was a control panel icon somewhere to get to the fpse configuration screens.

Hi Doug, yes i have tried that aswell but that one is even more strange cause if i add fpse to one of them, both get marked as extended. But its no diffrence in functionallity, or so to say, the lack of functionallity.

I'm not that up on working with FP extensions. A good FP website is www.frontpagewebmaster.com, maybe there is some help there.

Okey, will try there.

Thanks for your time
