I personally don't use the fp_install.sh script...I think it sucks. If I need to install frontpage extentions on a website I do the following: 1) Add the VirtualHost to the main httpd.conf file (must be in the main httpd.conf file): ServerName www.domain.com ServerAlias domain.com DocumentRoot /home/jim/public_html UserDir disabled 2) Install extensions with the owsadm.exe tool (execute the line wrap): # cd /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/bin # ./owsadm.exe -o install -u jimfpuser -p 80 \ -m "www.domain.com" \ -servconf "/usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf" \ -xuser jim 3) Restart apache: # apachectl restart It should prompt you for a password...which is the FRONTPAGE password for the FRONTPAGE user 'jimfpuser' as seen above. jimfpuser doesn't need to exist anywhere on the systemm, but you will need to use it with the frontpage client to connect to www.domain.com. Now, there are some gotcha's with frontpage. First off, make sure the owner and group owner of files located in the /home/jim/* directories are above uid=100 and gid=100. Make sure the user jim is created in the unix system password file and his home dir and public_html dir exist or this will fail. Make sure mod_frontpage is running. If you installed in the order above, mod_frontpage may only be loaded when mod_ssl is loaded ('apachectl startssl'). I'm only touching the brim of problems with frontpage... Finding complete documentation on the frontpage owsadm.exe command blows. You will have to experiment or visit microsoft.com and try to interpret their ramblings. I will also gladly try to answer any questions if I know the answer. Nick Rogness - How many people here have telekenetic powers? Raise my hand. -Emo Philips
