SYMPTOMS
========
When you create a virtual directory that points to a volume on a Novell NetWare
server, you cannot browse the contents of that directory. Instead, you receive
the following error:
HTTP/1.0 500 Server Error (The system cannot find the path specified.)
CAUSE
=====
If you enable a default document on the WWW properties page in Internet Service
Manager and have a virtual directory on a Novell NetWare server, this error
occurs when you access that directory, even though directory browsing is
enabled.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, do one of the following:
- In Internet Service Manager, do NOT specify a default document for the Web
server. If you do not specify a default document type, you can browse the
virtual directory on the Web server.
-or-
- Make sure a file with the exact name of the default document exists in the
virtual directory on the NetWare server.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Internet Information Server
versions 2.0 and 3.0. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
