SYMPTOMS
When deploying to a Web server using the Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW), you see the following error:
CAUSE
This error occurs for one or more of the following reasons:
- You have not installed Microsoft Posting Acceptor 2.0. This is the most common reason.
- You have selected FTP as the Web publishing protocol when you are using an HTTP address as a destination URL.
- You are missing a <META> tag at the top of your default document specified for your root Web. The PDW requests the default document for your root Web and looks for the <META> tag in order to determine where your PostInfo.asp file is located.
RESOLUTION
Take the following actions, as necessary:
- Install Posting Acceptor 2.0.
- Make sure that the destination URL protocol matches the selected Web publishing protocol.
Check your default document to see that it contains the <META> tag shown below and that it is the first line in your document:
<META name="postinfo" content="/scripts/postinfo.asp">
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
