The port is located at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/apache- fp.port.tgz . This port uses the FrontPage Module that MS created to provide a secure environment. Currently, the port will: 1. patch MS install script, and mod_frontpage 2. make apache w/mod_frontpage 3. creates user & group www, then asign this user & group to directories ../etc/apache & ../www/data. 4. Run MS install script. NOTE: when asked for user & group always give www. The current problems with the port is that the directory ../frontpage & *.cnf files need to be owned by the above created user (www), so that the extentions can write to the *.cnf files. So for now just chown this directory and the *.cnf in ../frontpage, DON'T chown the sub-directories. Also, if you wish to use the admin pages, a link to the we80.cnf file needs to made for the web server name (ex. www.domain.org:80.cnf -> we80.cnf), so that if you want to turn the extentions off you can. As for virtual webs, the directory also must be owned by www, if you wish to add fp98 support to them. Currently, the apache-fp server runs as user nouser & group nogroup. You may want to change it to the user & group www. Scot Hetzel
