FreeBSD 2.2.1 and Apache 1.2b7. Both are working just fine. I know FP is not officially supported on FreeBSD but I've heard about ISPs using it successfully. I'm installing the FP server extensions to a virtual host per the instructions at: http://www.rtr.com/fpsupport/UnixInstall.html and http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage/wpp/kit/unixinstall.htm I ran the following command: ./fp_install -host www.frozentundra.com -web / -user crevier All looked well until it got to step 14. Here's the output from there: ----[begin]---- Step 14: Set Security For The Web Administrator (using fpsrvadm.exe) Starting security, port: www.frozentundra.com:80, web: "/usr/local/www/html" Version: 2.0.2.1125 Created: 05 Jun 1997 00:03:14 CDT Invalid character in web name "/usr/local/www/html": (0x2f). chown: /usr/www/crevier/tundra/_vti_pvt/access.cnf: No such file or directory chown: /usr/www/crevier/tundra/_vti_pvt/service.grp: No such file or directory chown: /usr/www/crevier/tundra/_vti_pvt/service.pwd: No such file or directory Remember to restart the server so that the new ScriptAlias directives take effect. Installation Complete. ----[end]---- There's a FAQ at http://www.rtr.com/fpsupport/faq2.htm that mentions this message but the solution it suggests is to put quotes around certain options. This does not work; I still get the same message. I tried running just the 'fp_install' command by itself. It prompted me for the needed info as I expected and I still got the same error message. I looked in the fp_install perl script. I tracked down the error as being caused by the script running the following command (I printed it before running it): fpsrvadm.exe -o security -p www.frozentundra.com:80 -w www.frozentundra.com -u crevier -pw hhh -i *.*.*.* Quite honestly, I don't know what is expected by the -web option to the 'fp_install' command. The install instructions say something about a web name, but I have no idea what a web name is. I know my server root, my domain names, and pretty much everything else about the web site; I just don't know what a web name is. No matter what I try, I keep getting the exact same error message. 'Invalid character in web name "/usr/local/www/html": (0x2f).' I suspect that this error has something to do with the errors that follow it regarding no such file, but I don't know that for sure. The path given in the message is the path to the root directory of the main web site on this server. I figured out that the '0x2f' indicates that it does not like a slash character, however, I'm not sure. Again, the system and web server are running just fine. I just cannot get FP to install properly and I'd appreciate any assistance I could get. Thanks. ____________________________________________________________ Scott M.
