Symptoms

Problem 1

"FrontPage server extensions administration is disabled for this server" is displayed in Fronpage client.
 
Problem 2

It is possible to log in FP admin, however, when attempting to click on Manage Users FP display the login screen again.

Resolution

Solution 1

1. Please switch FrontPage using control panel off and on again.

2. Check if the following folder and the following file exist: %plesk_vhosts%\domain.tld\httpdocs\_vti_pvt\services.cnf
if yes, please, rename the file to "services.org". After that you should run this utility to reconfigure IIS for the specified domain.

%plesk_bin%\websrvmng.exe --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=domain.tld

Solution 2

1. You need to find the index of the site in IIS. Go to IIS MMC, Web Sites. Remember that number of the site being fixed in the Identifier column, we shall use 1000 in the example.

2. Execute the following commands:

cd "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\50\bin"
owsadm -o check -p /lm/w3svc/1000
Note: Please use the correct site identifier.
