SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to copy a Web to a Microsoft Internet Information
Server (IIS), you may receive the following error message:
Server Error: Unable to read configuration information for
Microsoft Internet Information Server. Error Code 5.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, you can copy the Web using any of the
following methods.
Method 1
Author directly to the server rather than using the Copy Web command.
Method 2
Use FrontPage Explorer to open the root Web on the destination server
and import files from the author's Web.
Method 3
Grant Windows NT Administrator privileges to your FrontPage authors.
Administrators can successfully copy Webs to an Internet Information
Server.
Method 4
If the Internet Information Server is running FTP services, you can
configure the FTP server to map to the author's root Web; then, you
can use the FrontPage Publishing Wizard to transfer Web content
to the Internet Information Server.
The version of extensions affected is version 1.1.2.6 (vt11msft.dll v.
1.1.2.0721)
This does affect FrontPage 98 authoring against a IIS 1.0 server only.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
