My apprach now is FreeBSD with PHP, Mysql etc... Windows whatever FP. I discourage customers who want to use FP so running it on NT is no problem.

Now that my rant is over, I'm hoping someone here has words of wisdom for a lost soul who doesn't want to convert to the dark-side. First some machine specific stuff. FreeBSD 4.0 release (3 day old install) dual (currently single) PII400 w/256 mb ram running as a web server for a company that will get approx 500 hits per day. (not much I know). OK, now I've had apache running many times, and it even (at one time) ran on this machine with no problems. I am now trying to get frontpage set up and it get various make errors. First after setting up the computer I used the /usr/ports/www/apache13-fp port. I have never gotten past this error: ===> Patching for apache_fp-1.3.12 ===> Applying FreeBSD patches for apache_fp-1.3.12 Ignoring previously applied (or reversed) patch. 4 out of 4 hunks ignored--saving rejects to configure.rej *** Error code 4 Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache13-fp. *** Error code 1 (I can supply the rej file if needed) So I go and clean things up. Do some research. See a nice package spoken about at freebsddiary, grab the package and try to install. Apache gets going ok, with ssl. PHP3 and PHP4 install with very few problems, but wouldn't you know it, frontpage appears to install, but I go to do the fp_install.sh and it can't find the tar files anywhere. *I* can't find the tar files anywhere. If I say keep the current vti directories, it errors (sorry I didn't write this one down) So I try another port. This one supposedly with PHP, SSL, and FP all ready to go... the PHP portion dies, never get to see if FP will make it. So I clean things up ONE MORE TIME and go back to the beginning, and guess what. Get the same things. So here I am, left wondering if frontpage is supposed to work on FreeBSD (I know it does, many of you have said so), but I just don't know what to do next. If any of you have some ideas or if you have a gun I can borrow :) please let me know. I do check this list but a cc to me would also help.
