Subject: Help: cannot edit subwebs using apache13-fp port

I just installed the Apache13-fp (Apache with MS FrontPage extensions)
port.  The install went well -- no error messages or anything.  However,
I am having a rather serious problem with it.

I am able to edit the *root web* using my copy of MS FrontPage 97. 
Everything works fine.

But, when I try to edit a per-user web (i.e. "~dburr"), all hell breaks
loose.  (Yes, I chose to install per-user webs when I did the
installation.)

The per-user webs are listed in the FrontPage Explorer, but when
clicking on one of them (to edit it), the fllowing error message
appears:

*****
Unable to connect to the server (HTTP Error 500).

Possible causes:
(1) The web server may not have the FrontPage Server Extensions
installed.
(2) If you are connecting through a proxy server, the web server name
may
be incorrect, or the web server may not be running on the specified
port.
(3) An internal error may have occurred in the web server, preventing
the
FrontPage Server Extensions from processing the request."
*****

And on the server side, the following appears in
/var/log/httpd-error.log:

*****

Ok, well it looks like a file is missing in the user's _vti_bin
directory. But the odd part is, that when I edit the root web, there is
*no* /usr/local/www/data/_vti_bin/shtml.exe file in the root web, yet
everything works fine.

I'm hoping that someone else has had to deal with this, and might know
the solution (or at least be able to help me out a bit).  Please e-mail
&/or reply to freebsd-ports@freebsd.org if you can offer up any
suggestions.  Thanks!
