MORE INFORMATION

  1. Click Start, and then click Run.
  2. Type Cmd in the Open box.
  3. Change to the parent directory that contains your virtual servers (for example, D:\InetPub).
  4. Issue the following command from the command prompt:

    Cacls <foldername> /T /E /R iusr_<machinename> network interactive everyone

    where <foldername> is the name of the home directory for the virtual server, and iusr_<machinename> is the name of the anonymous user on your computer.

    (If you want to run this on multiple virtual servers at the same time, you can replace <foldername> with *.* and this command will run on all folders below and on their contents.)
  5. Start the FrontPage Server Administrator.
  6. Click Start, and then click Run.
  7. In the Open box, type the following:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft FrontPage\version3.0\bin\Fpsrvwin.exe

    NOTE: This is the default path to the location of the installation of FrontPage. Your path may differ.
  8. In the FrontPage Server Administrator, click Check and Fix. (If you are prompted to tighten security as much as possible, click Yes.)
  9. From a command prompt, type the following:

    net stop iisadmin /y
    net start w3svc
    net start msftpsvc     (if you are using the FTP server)
    net start smtpsvc (if you are using the SMTP service)

    NOTE: If you have other services dependent on Internet Information Server, you need to restart them as well. This article is specific to IIS version 4.0; restarting the server for other versions of IIS requires different steps. Consult your server documentation if you are running a different version of IIS.
  10. At this point, browse access is restricted.
  11. The following steps need to be done for each virtual server:

    1. Open the root Web with FrontPage.
    2. On the Tools menu, click Permissions.
    3. On the Users tab, select the Everyone has browse access check box, and then click Apply.
    4. Repeat steps b and c for each subweb.
