Howdy, I got exactly the same error as Jeff when I upgraded a modified apache13-modssl with FrontPage extensions (Apache 1.3.17, mod_ssl 2.8.0, FrontPage 4.0.4.3) to the latest apache13-modssl. I then needed to add mod_frontpage and frontpage5 ports to get back my FrontPage extensions. What I posted below was a quick hack. I went back and found the cause of the problem. The problem is that the mod_frontpage port runs a perl script (Makefile.PL) getting a directory listing of the DocumentRoot directory. In my case, it was missing the uid of the directory. A patch to mod_frontpage can be found at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports%2F39686 Hope this helps.
