SYMPTOMS
When you perform a Check Server Extensions, the following error message
occurs:
PROBLEM: Content folder "C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\Web" not found.
where C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\Web is the location of the missing folder; this
may be different for you.
CAUSE
This problem may be caused by one of the following:
A subweb's folder is deleted without using the FrontPage client or
FrontPage Administration tools. For example, if you delete the folder of a
subweb in Windows Explorer from a DOS command prompt or a UNIX command
prompt.
-OR-
A Web is created on a separate volume and the volume is not currently
available.
RESOLUTION
If you suspect that first cause above is the reason for the error message,
determine if the Web referenced in the Check Server Extensions is off of
the root Web or if it is a nested subweb. For example:
If the Check Server Extensions message appears as "PROBLEM: Content
folder "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\web" not found", and C:\inetpub\wwwroot is the
assigned location for this virtual server, then this is a subweb to the
root web.
-OR-
If the Check Server Extensions message appears as "PROBLEM: Content
folder "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\web\web2\web3" not found", and
C:\inetpub\wwwroot is the assigned location for this virtual server, then
this is a nested subweb.
Based on whether the Web referenced in the error message is a subweb of
the root or a subweb of another subweb (nested subweb), you will need to
edit a configuration file to remove the listing for the non existent
Web.
For a subweb off of the root Web:
Use the Windows NT Explorer or UNIX command prompt and go to the content
location of the root Web. In the content area of the root Web, (parent
directory to the subweb), you will find the _vti_pvt folder. In this
folder, the Services.cnf file is located. Open the file in a text editor
such as Notepad to view a list of Webs for this virtual server. Remove the
listing for the Subweb that was identified by the error message and save
the file. For example:
Before:
/
/subweb1
/subweb2
/subweb3
After:
/
/subweb2
/subweb3
where /subweb1 is the Web identified by the Check Server Extensions.
For a nested subweb:
Use the Windows NT Explorer or UNIX command prompt and go to the content
location of the partent subweb. In the content area of the parent subweb,
locate the _vti_pvt folder. Open the Services.cnf file in a text editor
such as Notepadto view a list of Webs that reside below the subweb. Remove
the listing for the subweb that was identified by the Check Server
Extensions and save the file. For example:
Before:
/
/subweb1
/subweb2
/subweb3
After:
/
/subweb2
/subweb3
where /subweb1 is the web identified by the error message.
You cannot edit this file to create new subwebs or add
subwebs. Also, after you remove the listing for the subweb, you may need
to remove the virtual directory listings in the Web server that referenced
the subweb (if any exist).
