You may receive an error message when you try to use WebDAV to upload files to Web site that is hosted on IIS 6.0
When you try to use WebDAV to upload a file to a Web site, and the Web site is hosted on a server that is running Microsoft Internet Information Services 6.0 (IIS), you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:
HTTP Error 404 File or directory not found
Additionally, an error message that is similar to the following may be logged in the W3SVC log:
404.2 Denied due to lockdown policy
This issue occurs if you enable Microsoft Windows on Windows 64 (WOW64) compatibility for a 32-bit Web application on a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
To work around this issue, add the Httpext.dll file to the Web service extensions list. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
- Expand the name of the computer that you want, and then click Web Service Extensions.
- Click Add a new Web service extension.
- In the Extension name box, type a name for the extension.
- Click Add, type %windir%\SysWow64\inetsrv\httpextdll, and then click OK.
Note %windir% is the location where Windows Server 2003 is installed - Click to select the Set extension status to Allowed check box, and then click OK.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
