SYMPTOMS
========
When you are installing the FrontPage Server Extensions to a virtual server, you
receive the following error message:
The document root of the web server where you are trying to install the
server extensions already contains a disk-based web.
CAUSE
=====
This behavior occurs when the Web site is opened directly from the FrontPage
client through the file path or a mapped drive. This behavior can also occur if
the site was created as a disk-based Web and then copied into the document root
on the Web server.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
1. Using Windows Explorer, go to the document root of the virtual server.
2. In the _vti_pvt folder, locate a file called Service.cnf.
3. Open this file with Notepad.
4. Remove the following lines:
vti_httpdversion:SX|FrontPage DBW
vti_webservertype:SR|diskweb
5. Save the changes.
