FrontPage Server Extension 2002 Error Message Format

Although many RPC protocol methods have unique error messages, most rely on a standard error message format to relay information if a method fails to complete properly. This format has two parts:

  • Method
  • Status

The method part contains the name of the method and the version number of the server extensions. The status part contains:

  • Microsoft FrontPage code
  • Operating system code
  • FrontPage message
  • Operating system message

The actual error message code has this form:

method=method_name:server_version

status=.

  • status= integer_code
  • osstatus= integer_code
  • msg= fp_message
  • osmsg= os_message

The status is the server extension error code for the condition encountered. The osstatus is the operating system error code, the msg is the server extension error message and the osmsg is the operating system message for the condition encountered.

In general, the codes are integer values and the messages are text strings that summarize the error. Any error may return data for any number, including zero, of these codes and messages.
