In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have Frontpage running on quite a few servers with no problems. Best way that I've discovered to do it is kinda like this: 1) Install the standalone install of apache through the ports tree. 2) Fetch the latest Frontpage binaries from www.rtr.com/fpsupport . I've recently used the FreeBSD version with 4.0-Release without a problem. 3) Fetch the fp_install.sh script from www.rtr.com/fpsupport 4) Edit fp_install.sh with vi and copy line 71 and make the following changes: Copy this line: BSD/OS*) machine="bsdi" ;; Change the new line to look like this: FreeBSD*) machine="freebsd" ;; 5) chmod 755 fp_install.sh 6) ./fp_install.sh as root. Follow the prompts and you shouldn't have any problems. --Damon At 12:33 AM 7/1/00 -0400, Daniel Mahoney, Systems Admin wrote: >Okay, I've been wrestling with frontpage for most of the night.
