SYMPTOMS

After you upgrade your Microsoft Internet Information Services-based Web site to FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions or SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft, the include components and shared borders are not displayed correctly. The body of the main page is displayed as part of the shared border or the include component, appearing to duplicate data throughout the page. Also, after you insert a PhotoGallery or an Include page, you see the path to the page rather than the content of the page. In Normal view in FrontPage, the page appears correctly, but when you view it in a Web browser, you see only the path.

CAUSE

This problem is caused by the configuration of the performance tuning settings on the server, in particular, the Max Cache Document Size setting. For information about how to configure these settings, see the "More Information" section later in this article.

WORKAROUND

Remove the registry keys that affect the components. To do this, follow these steps.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Global Settings

IMPORTANT: Follow these steps carefully, because these settings affect all sites on your server.
  1. On the Windows Start menu, click Run.
  2. In the Open box, type regedit and then click OK.

Site-Specific Settings

IMPORTANT: Follow these steps for each site that is still experiencing problems.

  2. In the Open box, type regedit and then click OK.
  3. Locate the following registry subkey

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\Ports\Port /LM/W3SVC/#:

    where # is the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) instance of the site.

  4. Remove the following entries:
    • CacheMaxDocMeta
    • CacheMaxInclude
    • CacheMaxImage
