You don't need this with the apache-fp port, as mod_frontpage takes care of
rewriting the request to use the FP Exts in
/usr/local/frontpage/version4.0/.
I added this into my working apache13-fp server and it had no effect on the
operation of the FP exts on the server.

At first I thought it was the "Options" that were set causing the problem,
but I put your "Options" in to my httpd.conf and restarted the server, and I
had no problem connecting to the Apache server with Frontpage.
I even changed my user webs to use:
Options Indexes IncludesNOEXEC
AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit Indexes Options
And they had no problem either (was "Options ExecCGI").

Make sure your servertype is "apache-fp" in we80.cnf:
vti_encoding:SR|utf8-nl
frontpageroot:/usr/local/frontpage/version4.0
authoring:enabled
servertype:apache-fp
serverconfig:/usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf
Are there _vti* directories in your document root?
What errors do you get in your httpd-error.log (without your ScriptAlias
change), when you connect with Frontpage?
You may want to try modifying httpd.conf-dist (ie replace document root and
userdir with your settings) and see if that will work.
