However, I've tried both methods of the compat3x on a test server, including and whole new build/installworld and the latest 4.7-STABLE still hoses FrontPage. I even deleted and started from scratch on Apache+FP-1.27, but the FP install stops dead at trying to chown the uid:gid on the root web and gives the same error: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libm.so.2: Undefined symbol "__stderrp" ERROR: Unable to chown web root web in port 80 This caught me by surprise because I'd had FP running fine with FBSD-4.7 (RELEASE and STABLE) on other servers, but it was the installs JUST prior to the change date of 20021110. In fact they where only 5 days earlier. FP still doesn't understand what's going on apparently. Backing down to the installs prior to 20021110 makes FP happy again. Unfortunately, until I figure out the cure, I can't track 4.7-STABLE. As much as it is a pain, I must run FP for the users. No doubt others running FP must have seen this by now.... nothing else is affected and 4.7-STABLE runs fine otherwise (tried several machines). Any other thoughts, Matthew or from anyone much appreciated. Best regards, Jack L.
