SYMPTOMS
When you are installing the FrontPage Server Extensions to a virtual server, you receive the following error message:

The document root of the web server where you are trying to install the server extensions already contains a disk-based web.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when the Web site is opened directly from the FrontPage client through the file path or a mapped drive. This behavior can also occur if the site was created as a disk-based Web and then copied into the document root on the Web server.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:  Using Windows Explorer, go to the document root of the virtual server. In the _vti_pvt folder, locate a file called Service.cnf. Open this file with Notepad.  Remove the following lines: vti_httpdversion:SX|FrontPage DBW vti_webservertype:SR|diskweb  Save the changes.

Additional query words: front page
