SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft FrontPage, when you attempt to publish your Web to a Web server running Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0 or Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0, copy files to Web Folders, or create a new page in your Web, you may receive the following error message:

Server error: The folder  is marked executable. You are not allowed to put files into an executable folder on this server.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the script execution permissions for your Web site are configured incorrectly on the server, as follows:
 * In IIS 5.0, the Execute Permissions option is set to Scripts and Executables.

-or-
 * In IIS 4.0, the Permissions option is set to Execute (including script).

This setting allows users to run both scripts and executables on the server.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, set the script execution permissions for your Web site to Scripts only (in IIS 5.0) or Script (in IIS 4.0) on the Web server. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Open Internet Services Manager or the custom Microsoft Management Console (MMC) containing the IIS snap-in.
 * 2) Right-click the content folder of your Web site, and then click Properties.
 * 3) Click the Directory tab.
 * 4) Under Application Settings, do the following, as appropriate to your version of IIS:
 * 5) * In IIS 5.0, click Scripts only in the Execute Permissions box, and then click OK.

-or-
 * 1) * In IIS 4.0, click Script, and then click OK.
 * 2) Quit Internet Services Manager or close the IIS snap-in.
