Symptoms

In Microsoft FrontPage, when you attempt to open a Web folder on a Web server running SharePoint Portal Server 2001, you receive an error message similiar to the following:
Microsoft FrontPage

The Web server at "http://localhost" does not appear to have the FrontPage server extensions installed.

Cause

You cannot edit a SharePoint Portal Server in FrontPage. SharePoint Portal Server creates a virtual server when you install it. This server does not use FrontPage Server Extensions. Microsoft does not recommend installing the FrontPage Server Extensions in this case. SharePoint Portal Server uses Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) to allow remote client connectivity.

Resolution

To edit or connect to sites running on a SharePoint Portal Server, use Web Folders.

More information

For more information about WebDAV, please visit the following Web site:
RFC 2518 - HTTP Extensions for Distributed Authoring -- WEBDAV
You may install the FrontPage Server Extensions to the root folder of the Web site. However, the portal section, which is contained in the Exchange Store, will not be accessible through FrontPage.
