Having problems with forms in publisher 2003

2006-03-22, 6:17 pm

I've been reading around on the site a bit trying to find out the solution
to the problem i've been having with my website. I created my website in
publisher 2003 (apparently a bad idea), and I was able to upload it to my
webhosting service using FTP, but the forms on my page woudlnt retrieve
information. When I would go to my page and test it out and enter
information, after clicking submit it took me to that WEBBOT page. So I
read on here that if you submit using HTTP that it should work fine. So I
went to publish web page from publisher 2003 and then i typed in my domain
name when clicking save, but when I went to type in my username and password,
nothing worked. I used the same thing i did with FTP, i used my yahoo id,
i used the author name I created, nothing worked. It would not let me
upload using HTTP.... help someone?

Sounds like you may have corrupted the FrontPage Server Extensions by using
FTP uploading protocol. To test to see if your FPSE are installed change and
paste the following in your browser, and see if you get the confirmation
page: http://www.yoursite.com/_vti_inf.html If you don't get the
confirmation page you will need to have your host either install or
reinstall your FPSE.

Also reference the trouble shooting article and the one about using HTML
uploading protocol.
