Or, is this just Plain Apache 1.3.26? I'm not an expert but thought I'd pass along how it worked for me. Maybe others will correct me if I'm wrong... :) Anyway, I don't think the plain Apache port has the FP patch compiled in. However, when you install the FP extensions port, you will see mod_frontpage get installed as a dependency. As I understand it, then mod_frontpage gets loaded as a "DSO". I don't remember what "DSO" stands for exactly but it means that it mod_frontpage gets loaded dynamically when Apache starts, resulting in the same functionalitly as if it were compiled in. There is probably a small performance penalty by not having the patch compiled into the Apache binary but it is much simpler to set up. > Also, is it just that the config file has been setup for FPSE, and I > have to apply the patches locally, and then rebuild Apache locally? > For this Port to work. So what worked for me was to install the Apache port first and then install the FrontPage Extensions port. I did not have to build Apache from source. Then the fun begins in ensuring that your httpd.conf file is set correctly so the extensions work. Sorry, I don't remember the specifics. There is also an Apache+FP port that installs both together. However I don't know how it gets along with other Apache modules or options. I just chose to install the plain port and then add other pieces individually. This worked for me.

I didn't find much either when I looked. Good luck in getting everything working!
