"The folder '/' is marked executable" error message when you save a page to a folder on a Web site based on IIS
This article was previously published under Q308451
In Microsoft FrontPage, when you save a page to a content
folder on a Web site based on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS),
you may receive the following error message:
Server
error: The folder "" is marked executable. You are not allowed to put files
into an executable folder on this server.
This error message may vary, depending on the folder to which you
are saving. You may receive this message multiple times with different folder
names.
This problem may occur if the content folder you are trying
to save a file that is configured to allow executable programs to run. You
cannot save files to a folder that is set to run executable files.
Configure the Web site to allow only scripts in the content
folder to run. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start Internet Services Manager. To do this, follow the
steps for your version of IIS:
- For IIS 4.0:
- Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Windows NT 4.0 Option
Pack.
- Click Microsoft Internet Information Server.
- Click Internet Service Manager.
- For IIS 5.0:
- On the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, and then click Administrative Tools.
- Select Internet Services Manager.
- For IIS 5.1:
- On the Start menu, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
- Double-click the Administrative Tools icon.
- Double-click the Internet Information Services icon.
- Right-click the Web site that you want to change, and then
click Properties on the shortcut menu.
- Click the Home Directory tab.
- Configure the execute permissions for scripts only, and
then click Apply.
- If you are prompted about Inheritance Overrides (meaning
that several subfolders are configured with different execute permissions), do
not select any _vti_bin path in any subfolder. If you do, you will not be able
to access your Web site from FrontPage. You can override permissions settings
on any folder that does not need execute permissions.
- Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.
