John, There are 2 game plans for this. You can upgrade apache, and then install mod_frontpage on the old system. Tell the new Front Page to upgrade the existing sites, then move to the new server. Build the new box, move the sites, then install mod_frontpage, and upgrade the existing sites. Either way, make backups, and read the FP server docs. I've personally had good luck with both methods, but prefer the second, mostly because I don't alter the "know good" installation. By the way, run the latest 1.3.x (currently 1.3.29) apache, and if you didn't already know it, Front Page is a real apache mod now, so you don't have to jump through hoops to build it.
