Hi Jim, I copied master.passwd and the group file over so the UID and GID on the directories is the same as on the older server.. It only seems to work if if I have all the files under each web set up with UID:GID = fpuser:fpuser .. What are the security consequences of having all the file files owned by fpuser and writable by that group? thanks, Adrian. > > _vti_pvt not owned by web root owner: > > > > It's impractivle to have all the virtual webs with > > the same GUI/UID so how do you tell frontpage to > > operate with different unix users and groups? > >I think you may be misinterpreting the error message.
