sharepoint designer can't edit masterpage
sharepoint designer can't edit masterpage
- I'm not able to edit a masterpage (moss2007) in sharepoint designer.
When I copy the master page I get this message:
The folder that would hold URL '_catalogs/masterpage/default_copy.master' does not exist on the server.
The masterpage is copied but when I edit something and try to save it I get the following error:
The server could not complete your request. Contact your Internet service provider or wev server administrator to make sure that the server has the Frontpage Server Extensions or Sharepoint services installed.
I've reinstalled the frontpage extensions -> same problem
I've rebooted the server -> same problem
All services are running.
Can someone help?
Thanks

- This might not be expected answer, however i was facing this kind of issues when my trail SPD expired. If you are using a trial version then you can try registering the SPD. :)
Satheesh Hi federik_
Did you check if the folder “_catalogs/masterpage/default_copy.master“ exists on the server? You can also try recycling application pools on your WFE to see if it works. At the same time, go to your event viewer and ULS logs to find more clues.
There is another thread discussing the similar issue here:
Hope this helps.
