Hi, I've got a website that I want to publish to a server in my LAN. Only problem is I can't because of the following error. "Unable to create the Web "URL". The server sent a response which FrontPage could not parse. If you are trying to connect to a Windows
SharePoint Services server, check with the server's administrator to make sure Windows SharePoint Services is installed properly." I've tried everything. I have administrator rights on the respective server. The windows firewall is disabled on my computer
and on the server. No other firewalls involved, only antivirus and antispyware (nod32) .The server has windows xp installed, running IIS 5.1. IIS is running fine as I also have 2 web applications hosted on it that work. I developed the website in Visual Studio
2005. My guess is that this is a generic error. But I don't know how to get the real error behind it. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks and regards, Dani
Hi, Yes, i am using visual studio to publish. The URL i use is http://server_name/website_folder. Temporarily I published the files in another manner, as a compromise. I copied all the files from the website to that server, and I created the folder in IIS with
the files. That worked, but i can only use this for now, as all the code files are there. I stiil need to figure why publishing didn't work. Thanks in advance
Hi, FrontPage Server Extension is installed on the server. Also i have reinstalled them, and installed them on my machine to, just to make sure. Your idea seems good. Publishing to my machine worked, so why wouldn't i copy the files to the server after publishing
to my machine. Thank you!
What you want to do here is from Visual Studio, select Website -> Copy Web Site.
A new dialog page will open. At the top it has "Connections:". Click the Connect button, and on the new dialog pick "Remote Site" and enter the URL. If the folder does not yet exist on your server click the "New Web SIte" button and enter the full URL.
At the completeion of these steps you will now get your remote site in the right side pane and you can use the buttons in the center of the screen to copy your files to the server.
Alternatively if you don't like FPSE, you can have connections via the file system (mapped drive or UNC path) or FTP to your remote server.

Hi,
I assume you publish the website by using Visual Studio. What is the URL you used for publishing?

Hi,
Do you publish to a remote site? If so, please make sure FrontPage Server Extension installed on the remote server.
Additionally, you can publish your site to a folder on local machine, copy the published files which do not contain codes to IIS server.
Thanks.
