Hey there...

When trying to publish web pages using Front Page 2000 to an NT w/sp6a box - with FP 2000 SR-1.2 Server Extensions installed, the following error pops up:

Error 405
HTTP Error 405
405 Method Not Allowed
The method specified in the Request Line is not allowed for the resource indentified by the request. Please ensure that you have the proper MIME type set up for the resource you are requesting.
Please contact the server's administrator if this problem persists.

PLEASE HELP!!! I am going crazy! I know nothing about this stuff and need to resolve it by Monday!

Are you logged in as the administrator? or do you have permissions to publish web pages?

Yes...I have checked rights. These are individual students having to publish. Maybe I do not have the correct rights? WOuld you know what it is that they need?

The server needs to be configured to allow operations on pages and directories. The admin of IIS needs to set up each student's home directory where they will be publishing pages.
This error can pop up when submitting requests (like forms) with POST to an .html page which by default allows only GET.

This is in the Application Configuration of each web site as defined in IIS.
Right-click on their site, which must already be defined. (Create one if it isn't). Choose "properties". Click on "home directory" tab. Click on "Configuration" button. The file extentions and "verbs" (which are like methods, i.e. GET, POST) each accepts are listed and can be changed.
