SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to perform a search in a web site, you receive an error message similar to the following:

HTTP Error 405 Method not allowed



CAUSE
This behavior can occur in the following situation:
 * 1) You create a FrontPage Server Extensions-based Web site.
 * 2) You create a database Search form that searches the web site using Microsoft Index Server.
 * 3) You install Microsoft Site Server on the Web server.

This behavior can also occur when you recalculate hyperlinks with the fpsrvadm.exe command-line utility and you do not specify a port or you specify all ports. For example:

fpsrvadm.exe -operation recalc -port all

The  tags in all HTML Extension (.htx) files are changed to . The .htx files no longer work.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, recalculate hyperlinks on the web site. To do this, follow these steps:  On the server computer, start a command prompt. Change to the directory that contains the fpsrvadm.exe utility. For example:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft FrontPage\Version3.0\Bin

 Type one of the following Fpsrvadm.exe commands depending on your web site configuration

Fpsrvadm.exe -operation recalc -port :80

(where  is the IP Address of the web site that you want)

-or-

Fpsrvadm.exe -operation recalc -port :80

(where  is the Host name of the web site that you want)

and then press ENTER. For example:

fpsrvadm.exe -operation recalc -port 192.168.1.100:80 

 At the Enter web name []: prompt that appears, press ENTER.</li></ol>

The links are recalculated for the specified web site, and the HTTP Extension (.htx) files are corrected.
