The frontpage module requires patches to the server source in order to support the proper execution of their tools, which are outside of the webserver root (I think.) They add 'char *execfilename;' to the request_rec struct and bits of hackery to use execfilename instead of filename. I'm pretty sure they could deal with this in FrontPageAlias but I've not yet managed to wrap my head around exactly what the patch is doing. Obviously this knocks FP out of the Apache New World Order. If someone wants to figure out how to make FP work without hacking apache, now would be a good time to stand up. -- | Matthew N.
