Error: "Cannot Open Obj.conf": No Such File or Directory (192631)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q192631 SYMPTOMS
When you install the FrontPage 98 Server Extensions to a Netscape
Web server running on a Windows NT Server computer, the following
error message occurs:
Cannot open "c:\frontpage\config\obj.conf": no such file or
directory
The installation fails after you clear this message.
CAUSE
This error occurs when you point to an incorrect configuration
file when you install the FrontPage 98 Server Extensions.
RESOLUTION
When you are prompted for the "Server Config:," enter the full
path to the Netscape server's Magnus.conf file.
The location of this file will vary depending on your version of
Netscape's Web server and the location that you specified when
installing the Netscape Web server.
For more information on locating your server's Magnus.conf file,
please see your Web server's documentation or contact Netscape.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FrontPage 98 for
Windows.
The third-party products discussed here are manufactured by
vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or
otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
MORE INFORMATION
The configuration file that the FrontPage Server Extensions search
for on a Netscape Server is the Magnus.conf file. If any other
.cnf or .conf files are input during the installation of the
FrontPage Server Extensions, you will receive the error described
in the SYMPTOMS section of this article.
If the FrontPage Personal Web Server is installed, then by
default, the FrontPage Server Extensions search in the FrontPage
Personal Web Server's configuration directory (C:\FrontPage
Webs\server\conf) for the required configuration file.
The files listed when you first select the Browse button are the
Access.cnf, Httpd.cnf, and Srm.cnf files. None of these files are
the correct configuration file for the Netscape Server. The
required file is the Magnus.conf, which is associated with your
Netscape Server.
