You should never copy anything to c:\ineptpub\wwwroot
- that is a reserved folder (for
http://localhost/) managed by IIS and the FP SE when applied
You should only be either
- opening the server based location as
http://localhost/ and adding / editing pages or subwebs in FP
- publishing from another FP web (disc or server based) to
http://localhost/

| I'm also having the same problem in XP Pro sp2 with FP2003.
|
| I can open up
http://localhost and see my website if I copy it to the
| default c:\ineptpub\wwwroot folder. So I should be able to setup my remote
| webiste to use
http://localhost. Yet it always returns an error stating the
| same thing Colin mentioned.
|
| I checked my default web site - all tasks - check server extensions and it
| performed the "Checking Web http://" test. It stated no problems found - End
| Check. So I assume it has the Server Extensions.
|
| ControlPanel add/remove states they are installed. Is there another 2k3 FP
| Server Extensions I need to install? I did a Full Install of FP2003, so I am
| not sure what I am missing.
