Sam,

I am also having some difficulties with FrontPage Server Extensions under FreeBSD 2.2.2, and am hoping you can assist as well, as I have just about given up.

After following Microsoft's instructions for installing Front Page Server Extensions, including applying a security patch, when I go to run 'fp_install' I receive the following error:

# ./fp_install
Step  1: Checking to make sure that all necessary files can be found.
Step  2: Examining srm.conf file.
Step  3: Examining httpd.conf file.
DocumentRoot `/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs' does not exist
#

The strange part is, '/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs' *does* exist!  I have traced it to the Perl install script which in line 171 calls a stat function which apparently is not supported in my implementation of Perl?!

Any help and assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  Am using Apache 1.2.4, but even tried this on 1.1.3 which they suggest.

Regards,

George Ellenburg
