************************************************************************ 1.) Check your httpd.conf, if you have included a ResourceConfig and AccessConfig. If you do not have these files, you'll have to add these lines to make frontpage extensions working properly. These lines are commented out in a default config, so you'll have to activate them again. If you have some real ResourceConfig and AccessConfig, you can skip this part. ResourceConfig /dev/null AccessConfig /dev/null 2.) You'll also need to change AllowOverride under ( or the place where you moved your webservers ) from None to at least: AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit Indexes Options Don't use "AllowOverride All" if you have a server environment with customers, since this can be a security risk If you use this, they can enable mod_php4 etc. themself with .htaccess files. 3.) You can turn off/on the extensions and the frontpage administration per site in httpd.conf and per virtual server. FrontPageAdminDisable is the default if no option is given. FrontPageEnable # Enable FP Extensions Client publish FrontPageDisable # Disable FP Extensions Client publish FrontPageAdminEnable # Enable FP Extensions Admin web site FrontPageAdminDisable # Disable FP Extensions Admin web site If no key word options are present in the httpd.conf file the default of FrontPageDisable and FrontPageAdminDisable is used resulting in a working Apache environment where the complete frontpage environment is disabled. 4.) After you have made these changes, you'll have to execute: %%PREFIX%%/frontpage/version5.0/fp_install.sh to build the base apache/frontpage web site and to setup frontpage users and admins. You can also run this to add virtual hosts to the apache/frontpage system. 5.) If you have installed the port in another PREFIX than "/usr/local" you have to create a symlink. Microsoft has hardcoded the local path in their binarys. If you do not use fp_install.sh, you have to create the link manually: ln -s %%PREFIX%%/frontpage /usr/local/frontpage ************************************************************************
