Posts Are Not Displayed If Discussion Web Uses Built-in Source Control

This article was previously published under Q230183

SYMPTOMS

When you create a discussion Web and configure the FrontPage built-in source control for the Web, posts to the discussion Web are not displayed when you select Refresh the main page. This problem occurs with the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions version 4.0.2.2717.

CAUSE

The Internet guest account, IUSR_computername, only has Read and Execute permissions to the _derived, _vti_pvt\_derived and _vti_pvt\_vti_cnf folders in the discussion Web. This prevents the Server Extensions from writing information that is required for the posts to be available.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, turn off the FrontPage built-in source control, and then perform a Recalculate Web. When the built-in source control is not in use, the problem does not occur.

WORKAROUND

To work around the problem, use the following steps:
  1. In Windows Explorer, browse to the content directory on the server where the discussion Web resides.
  2. Locate the _derived folder in the root of the discussion Web.
  3. Right-click on _derived and click Properties.
  4. In the Properties dialog, click Security, and then click Permissions.
  5. Click the IUSR_computername account and in the Type of Access box, select Change.
  6. Make sure both checkboxes for Replace Permissions on Subdirectories and Replace Permissions on Existing Files are checked, and then click OK.
  7. Additionally, it is necessary to use the same steps above to grant IUSR Change permission to the _vti_pvt\_derived and _vti_pvt\_vti_cnf folders in the discussion Web.
  8. After you make these changes, posts to the discussion Web will be immediately available in the browser after clicking Refresh the main page.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions.
