Is anyone successfully running Improved mod_frontpage from
http://home.edo.uni-dortmund.de/~chripo/index.html?  I have compiled,
re-compiled, and compiled again but have still not successfully been
able to get it working right.

Here is my latest attempt:

1. Deleted all related sources.

2. Extracted sources from tarballs

3. Build related sources as per the step-by-step instructions.

4. Used the following to build Apache:
env SSL_BASE=../openssl-0.9.6 EAPI_MM=../mm-1.1.3
./configure --verbose --with-layout=FreeBSD.layout:FreeBSD --enable-shar
ed=max --enable-module=most --enable-module=auth_db --disable-module=aut
h_dbm --enable-module=frontpage --enable-shared=frontpage --enable-modul
e=ssl --enable-module=speling --server-uid=nobody --server-gid=nogroup -
-fpexec-caller=nobody --fpexec-docroot=/usr/local/www/data --fpexec-logf
ile=fpexec.log

5. Make and Make install Apache.

6. Start Apache and verify it works. I have also done this with Apache
1.3.17 and the results are the same.  From my error log:
[Tue Apr 10 16:00:26 2001] [notice] Apache/1.3.19 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.2
OpenSSL/0.9.6 FrontPage/4.0.4.3 configured -- resuming normal operations
[Tue Apr 10 16:00:26 2001] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper:
/usr/local/sbin/suexec)

7. Run the fpsrvadm.exe program to install the extensions per the
instructions.

8. Attempt to open the root web via a FP 2000 client. I get the
following info from my logs:

wecerr.txt:
04/10/2001 16:05:45

fpexec log:

HTTP/1.1" 200 115
[10/Apr/2001:16:37:49 -0700] "OPTIONS / HTTP/1.1" 200 -

Do you have any idea where my problem might be? I can get FP extensions
to work if I install using the regular "Apache" server type. However,
doesn't this mean that I'm not using mod-frontpage? And when I do it
this way, I can't create subwebs from the client.

My httpd.conf is basically the default one with a few modifications to
reflect my site.  I can send it if someone thinks it would be helpful.

Thank you for your time,

Drew
