Greetings,

OK, after many hours of trying to figure out errors, using different ports,
and changing configure files just trying to get Frontpage extensions
installed, I am left frustrated and wondering whether it would just be
easier to buy win2k and run them from there. 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.

Thanks, and if you made it this far, you deserve a beer,
