The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FrontPage for the Power Macintosh, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS
Case 1:  When you attempt to open a Microsoft FrontPage Web stored on a          Macintosh computer, you receive the following error

The folder "file:/// / " does not exist.

         where is the name of the hard disk on the Macintosh computer and is the name of the folder that contains a         FrontPage web.

Case 2:  When you attempt to open or list webs on a remote computer on which you installed the Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions, you receive the following error

Cannot open " :temporary items:_vti_inf.html." No such file or directory.

         where is the name of the hard disk on the Macintosh computer.

Case 3:  When you attempt to create a new web on the local computer, you receive the following error

Cannot create the folder " : ."

         where is the name of the hard disk on the Macintosh computer and is the name of the folder that contains the FrontPage web.

CAUSE
These errors occur when the name of the hard disk on the Macintosh computer contains a slash character. On the World Wide Web, a forward slash character is used to separate folders (directories) in a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). If the name of the hard disk on which your Web is stored contains a slash character, you will receive one of the errors described in the "Symptoms" section because the path cannot be interpreted as a valid URL.

RESOLUTION
Rename the hard disk so that it does not contain a slash (/) character.
