We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SYMPTOMS
When you use multiple indented IF statements in your .HTX file, the following error message appears:

Error performing operation. The template file contains an endif without a matching if tag.

The following is a sample code: if ...     if ...         if ... .        else .        endif else .     endif else .  endif



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do not use IF statements with ELSE for indented IF statements. The following is a sample code: if ... if ... if ... . endif endif else . endif



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Internet Information Server version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
