  Can't publish WebServices to https:// - get error saying FrontPage Extensions not installed Reply Contact I have a Web Services project (.asmx) on my XP SP3 machine, VS2008. I'd like to publish this to a virtual Windows 2003 Server. The url to publish it to is a https:// When I try this from Visual Studio 2008, I'm getting the following error: Unable to create the Web site 'https://xxxxxxxx'.  The Web server does not appear to have FrontPage Server Extensions installed. It doesn't even ask me for a username / password to connect with. Any idea what the problem is?  Thanks

There's not configuration options.  Why would Visual Studio give this error, when the FrontPage Server Extensions are installed?

  Re: Can't publish WebServices to https:// - get error saying FrontPage Extensions not installed Reply Contact I'm being serious. In the IIS MMC, from the root for your site do you see a series of folders that start with "_vti_" ?  If yes, then FPSE are installed.  If no, then they need to be activated for the site ... so click on the "Configure Server Extensions 2002" as you found on in the IIS MMC for that site ...

The root of the site contains the _vti folders, so FrontPage Extensions definitely seem to be installed. Not sure what else could be causing this

No joy. I'm not convinved it's the FrontPage extensions are what's causing the problem. I don't know what is yet, something to do with security though.
