"Server: Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) PHP/3.0.16 FrontPage/4.0.4.3 mod_ssl/2.6.2 OpenSSL/0.9.3a" > > What is entailed in setting up an apache server to handle 'frontpage > > extensions' ? is it just a mime type or will it require more than that? It's a bunch of files that live inside _vti_* directories inside the web space. When you create a root-web/virtual/subweb, the fpsrvadm program basically accesses your apache.conf file to find the directory of the web space, it then proceeds to create and populate the _vti_* directories with files and .htaccess options. Note: fpadmin doesn't like double quotes around the .conf file directives that it looks at, i.e. anything like a path or directory name. Using frontpage against the site basically runs the _vti_bin programs as Apache would any normal CGI program. If you have mod-frontpage installed, Apache runs them from the frontpage install directory via a suid root stub called fpexe. Also fpsrvadm doesn't copy the binary .exe files into the _vti_bin directory. If you use suexec with mod-frontpage, then be prepared for a clash between the two suid root stub programs (suexec and fpexe.exe). It needs to be patched to co-exist with frontpage. ...and that's about all there is to frontpage. -- +------------------------------------------------------------+ . | John Saunders - mailto:john@nlc.net.au (EMail) | ,--_|\ | - http://www.nlc.net.au/ (WWW) | / Oz \ | - 1800-445-100 or 04-1822-3814 (Phone) | \_,--\_/ | NORTHLINK COMMUNICATIONS P/L - Supplying a professional, | v | and above all friendly, internet connection service. | +------------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
