You don't need this with the apache-fp port, as mod_frontpage takes care of
rewriting the request to use the FP Exts in
/usr/local/frontpage/version4.0/.

I added this into my working apache13-fp server and it had no effect on the
operation of the FP exts on the server.

At first I thought it was the "Options" that were set causing the problem,
but I put your "Options" in to my httpd.conf and restarted the server, and I
had no problem connecting to the Apache server with Frontpage.

I even changed my user webs to use:

    Options Indexes IncludesNOEXEC
    AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit Indexes Options

And they had no problem either (was "Options ExecCGI").

Make sure your servertype is "apache-fp" in we80.cnf:
    vti_encoding:SR|utf8-nl
    frontpageroot:/usr/local/frontpage/version4.0
    authoring:enabled
    servertype:apache-fp
    serverconfig:/usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf

Are there _vti* directories in your document root?

What errors do you get in your httpd-error.log (without your ScriptAlias
change), when you connect with Frontpage?

You may want to try modifying httpd.conf-dist (ie replace document root and
userdir with your settings) and see if that will work.
