PRB: Web Server Related Errors On Multi-Processor Machine

• Microsoft Visual InterDev, versions 1.0, 6.0
• Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

If you have an older version of FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) on a dual-processor machine, errors may manifest themselves in a number of ways. Some of those are listed here:

• Unspecified errors in application log relating to FrontPage Server Extensions after server hangs



• Strange permissions configuration problems with FrontPage Webs



• Parse errors with files in the _vti_cnf folder and the web server stops, but shows as running in IIS Manager



• "Unable to contact Web server" error when attempting to create a project in Visual InterDev



• Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions: Error #80002 Message: System exception: access violation.



• Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions: (OS Error #-1073741819 Message: exception occurred at 0x780014dc)

CAUSE

FPSE before version 3.0.2.1706 could potentially cause a server lock up on a Web server hosted on a multi-processor machine with multiple simultaneous authors.

RESOLUTION

Install the latest version of the FPSE, available from Microsoft's Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage/wpp/1706update_windows.htm.

STATUS

This bug was corrected in FrontPage 2000.
