SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade your Microsoft FrontPage 97 Server Extensions-based web to Microsoft FrontPage 98 Server Extensions, the Web site to which the FrontPage web has been published becomes browse-only.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you upgrade a FrontPage web that has been configured with browse-only permissions.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, edit the Service.cnf configuration file to remove the browse-only status from the web. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Web server computer, start a command prompt.
 * 2) Type CD\ \_vti_pvt (where   is the root Web), and then press ENTER.
 * 3) Type EDIT Service.cnf, and then press ENTER.
 * 4) Delete the vti_hasnewfeature line.
 * 5) On the File menu, click Save.
 * 6) On the File menu, click Exit.
 * 7) Quit the command prompt.
