Default Creating Forms in Front Page

Hi, I have Microsoft Front Page 2003, I am trying to create a form. I inserted a form, and created all of the boxes, set the values correct. Checked my options and set it to e-mail me the results. I uploaded it to my web server, and it keeps coming up with this error: HTTP 405 - Resource not allowed-Internet Information Services.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I would be willing to give the form to anyone that is willing to look it over and explain to me what I am doing wrong. I have checked my server settings and made sure that front page extensions are configured properly and enabled. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

I am having the same type of issue. I can load my website to my server (Windows 2003 Ent.) via the LAN but if I try to publish the site with FP2002 it just will not let me. I can take the same website and publish it to a host that I use and have no problems at all.

Sorry that I do not have the answer, I just wanted to let you know you are not alone on this one...

The server your uploading to may need FrontPage Extentions enabled.

Just an idea...im not expert.

Learn PHP and write scripts with that. FrontPage extension have been a known way for attackers to gain entry to a server.

I admin for a hosting company, and we log about 50,000 attempts a month to try to use fp extensions when its not even enabled.

I want to learn PHP, but the problem is on this web server it does not support php. Eventually I will learn it on another server. I am trying to get this working for an organization they only receive 700 hits a month.... Not a well know site, I just need to get it working and soon.

what ever happened to writing html the correct way with notepad, it is a very easy language? I've seen more problems with these site using page generators like frontpage, just do the work yourself. If you cant use PHP, use javascript.
