SYMPTOMS
========

When deploying to a Web server using the Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW),
you see the following error:

  Unexpected error number 80042114 has occurred: The Web server you selected
  does not indicate support for the service provider you selected.

CAUSE
=====

This error occurs for one or more of the following reasons:

- You have not installed Microsoft Posting Acceptor 2.0. This is the most
  common reason.

- You have selected FTP as the Web publishing protocol when you are using an
  HTTP address as a destination URL.

- You are missing a <META> tag at the top of your default document
  specified for your root Web. The PDW requests the default document for your
  root Web and looks for the <META> tag in order to determine where your
  PostInfo.asp file is located.

RESOLUTION
==========

Take the following actions, as necessary:

- Install Posting Acceptor 2.0.

- Make sure that the destination URL protocol matches the selected Web
  publishing protocol.

- Check your default document to see that it contains the <META> tag
  shown below and that it is the first line in your document:

  <META name="postinfo" content="/scripts/postinfo.asp">

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.
