If anyone could help me with this problem it would be GREATLY appreciated.

I'm running an intranet off win2k server with iis 5.0 and FrontPage 2000. i used 
microsoft's Intranet in 60 mins wizard and it requires the FP server extensions. 
i got the same error ("The document root of the web server where you are trying 
to install the server extensions already contains a disk-based web.") as another 
poor fellow did today. however, i'm not running off nt4.0. Also i tried to follow 
the help reference that Hollis D. Paul offered but i have no Default Web Site 
listed in my MMC console. All i have is the name of the computer and that's it, 
it doesn't expand past that. if someone could please inform me about a way to 
work around this, again, i would be very grateful.

Well my first problem seems to have disappeared when i reinstalled IIS 5.0
and then reinstalled the office server extensions. Now that all works fine,

but my second problem with the ASPs is still there. When i installed the 60
MIK it asks you wether you want your documents by Project or by Deparments.
I choose departments (and selected all the ones they listed) because it
pertained to the scope of my project. I installed all the DB connections
like they said in the Getting Started document that comes with the kit and
every else seems to work fine. However, when i go to the Documents section,
i can only open the first two sections (User Folders & Finance). All the
others give me an error page saying that the page cannot be found. I haven't
found any documentation on this, and i've reinstalled this site almost 5
times now.

Hi Nathan,

Well believe this or not... I found that when I tried to put in documents
with names that were more than on word, as in your example "Human
Resources", that this was the reason it didn't work. I think if you look at
the URL for your page when you try to display it, you will see a %20 (an
ASCII space)  between "Human" and "Resources" in the URL name but you will
also see some other characters in there that shouldn't be (this is the error
and I don't know why it happens) ...if you manually go up to the URL line in
the browser and delete those extra characters (leave the %20) from the URL
that is displayed and hit Return then I think your document page will
display..(That is just a quick test to see if this is your problem). What I
had to do to work around this was to rename my Documents pages  with an
underscore "_" between the words such as "Human_Resources". Then once I did
this, the pages displayed ok. Not sure if this is really your problem but it
sounds similar to what was happening to me. Maybe this is an IIS setting or
something that is messed up but I couldn't find the answer so I worked
around it. Good Luck.

Ok i've managed to get rid of that error now, it was a matter of renaming
the folders that there weren't any spaces in them, otherwise the space
character (%20) on the address bar of the browser would be incorrect when
you click the url (%2520). 

HOWEVER, every time i seem to fix an error, another one pop's up. Now my
Online Apps section doesn't want to work. Any option i click in there,
whether it be Directory or Issues, it keep saying that my database
connection is invalid. I've installed the web site, IIS 5.0, and OSE at
least 4 times now and i still get the error...

I've looked at the global.asa file an it could be written in chinese an i
couldn't tell the difference. i know VB, but i probably couldn't tell if
there was something syntactically wrong with that page unless you can give
me some clues on where to look.

Nathan

The global.asa file is daunting, to say the least.  I once spent enough 
time on it to figure out that it was working up the tree to find the 
root of the web.  Don't know why, except that with relative addressing 
in a web, it also has to have the real path to the root.  You want to 
look in the Sub Application_OnStart routine.  In mine, it is right 
under <Script tag that says run at server.  Specifically, you are 
looking at the Application(Ddatabase1_ConnectionString) line.  Make 
sure that the database path name is correct for the database you 
defined when you deployed the 60MIK.

Now, I found that one of my sections, even after I had corrected the 
global.asa file, and the 8 places mentioned in the start-up section, 
still had a problem with accessing the database.  It made its own 
connection to a table, or something, and that connection string wasn't 
correct.  Turns out the problem is not in the On-Line Apps Default.htm 
page.  It is on each child page, for example Dap_Directory_Detail.htm.  
Open that page in either Notepad or FrontPage.  Make sure that work 
wrap is not turned on.  Find Line 12 or so, which starts out <OBJECT 
classid=CLSID:0002E530... This line is specifying the XML data table it 
is going to be looking up.  And, way over on character position 259 is 
the start of the pathname to your database table.  It starts with 
"<a:ConnectionString". Then, in column 326, you will find "Data 
Source=". Make sure it is pointing to the right place.
