You receive a "Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this page" error message when you use the File Upload feature in FrontPage 2003
For a Microsoft FrontPage 2002 version of this
article, see
288716 Â
(http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=288716/
)
.
In Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003, when you try to insert a
File Upload form (on the
Insert menu, point to
Form, and then click
File Upload), you are
not prevented from inserting the File Upload form.
When you locate
the page that contains the File Upload form, you receive the following string
above the File Upload component:
[FrontPage File Upload Component]
If you select a file and upload it, you receive the
following error message:
Cannot run the FrontPage Server
Extensions on this page: "http://server name/page name"
Also, when
you author directly on a Web server, you cannot change the folder properties to
permit anonymous uploads from FrontPage 2003.
This behavior may occur if your Web site is located on an
Apache Web server. The File Upload form does not work with an Apache Web
server.
This
behavior is by design.
The anonymous uploads option is turned off to prevent
anonymous uploads that can make the Web server vulnerable to attack. Otherwise,
a user can potentially upload a file that can run malicious code.
