I suppose thats acceptable though I really wish the Frontpage module would DTRT instead of requiring patches. I hope you added the FP stuff to the end of the request structure rather than the middle like the MS patch does. > Axps also created the appropriate Add/LoadModule entries into the > apache.conf file. I still think its wrong to modify the apache.conf file; we should provide an apache.conf-default.MODNAME with example configuration stuff and let the user enable the stuff as they see fit. Messing with a possibly live configuration file is more objectionable than making the user edit the config file and set things up manually. > I didn't create a seperate apache.conf.mod_frontpage config file, because > during the installation of the FrontPage Extentions, the script/fpsrvadm.exe > checks AllowOverride directive in the apache.conf file and if it is set to > "None", the FrontPage web will not be created during installation.

I'll have to see how you did it. -- | Matthew N.
