Microsoft Knowledgebase article 828909 describes several methods for determining whether the FrontPage server extensions are installed and functioning correctly. This article can be found at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;828909&Product=fp2003.
The methods include
* Open the Web site in Internet Explorer. On the File menu, click Edit with Microsoft FrontPage. If FrontPage opens a read-only copy of the current Web page without prompting you for the user name and password, the FrontPage Server Extensions probably
are not working correctly.
* Use the "What's that site running?" feature at
http://www.netcraft.com* Use a web browser to view the contents of the htdocs/_vti_inf.html file
* Place a FrontPage hit counter on a page and see whether it works
* If you try to browse to
http://yourdomain.com/_vti_bin/shtml.dll or
http://yourdomain.com/_vti_bin/shtml.exe , you
should receive the following error message if the FrontPage Server Extensions
are running: "Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this page:".
If you receive a different error message, the FrontPage Server Extensions
are not running.
