Normally, when you get the sig 11 when trying to connect with the Frontpage Client it indicates that the server is not running as
the correct user for the suexec program or the installed suexec program wasn't patched for the Frontpage Extensions.
Look in /usr/local/sbin, is suexec in this directory?
Does it's date/time correspond to the date/time the httpd program was installed?
By default the port builds suexec to expect the Apache server to run as user www.
Do you have a user www in your password file?
Does the httpd.conf file have the User directive set to the www user?
Try rebuilding the port with:
make clean
make build -DSUEXEC HTTPD_USER=<user>
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh stop
pkg_delete apache_fp-1.3.12
make install
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh start
Then try and connect to the server.
Normally, when I create a Virtual Web I use the following script:
$cat mkvirt
#!/bin/sh
FPSRV=/usr/local/frontpage/version4.0/bin
HTTPD_CONF=/usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf
${FPSRV}/fpsrvadm.exe -o install -t apache-fp \
-s ${HTTPD_CONF} -p 80 -m $1 -u fpadmin -pw <passwd>
And you use the script as:
mkvirt www.virtualhost.org
NOTE: you'll want to chmod 0500 this file in order to protect the password
