Greetings!

	So I had written to -questions a long time ago with how I got
this combination to work:	[Apache 1.3x + mod_ssl + mod_php4 +
mod_frontpage] using ports/www/apache13-modssl/ as the base, then
patching it for mod_frontpage and then adding ports/www/mod_php4

But for some reason, recently, my method of installation stopped
working. I don't know what I did or when, but it's not working anymore.
By that I mean that you could no longer connect to it via frontpage
client and the frontpage components (form2email fer instance) never
return after being submitted...they just sit on "waiting for reply..."
indefinitely. So I figure that the easiest thing to do would be to
repeat the process again, at least I'd wind up with the latest versions
of everything anyway. Didn't work.

When I try to connect to it with a frontpage client, the client just
hangs for a very very long time. In inspecting the logs, I only see one
thing. It gets recorded into the error_log for the site I try to open in
frontpage.

[Tue Dec 10 20:43:15 2002] FrontPage SUID Error: could not read valid
input key

RTR's site doesn't seem to have anything explaining this, and google
searches only come back with sourcecode and regrettibly, I'm not much of
a serious coder so reverse engineering it ain't gonna happen. 

Here are the details:  

FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE, cvsup'ed nightly

To set it up I do this:
	cd /usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl/
	make patch
	cd work/apache_1.3.27/
	cp /home/john/fp-patch-apache_1.3.22   (the latest one I know
of)
	patch -p0 < fp-patch-apache_1.3.22
		(reports unified or succeeded for every hunk)
	cd ../..
	make install

	cd ../mod_php4
	make install

	cp /usr/local/sbin/httpd /home/john/

	cd /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/
	./fp_install.sh
		(I then answer everything as defaults, or yes, only
building a root web)
	cp /home/john/httpd /usr/local/sbin/      (cause it installs
1.3.19)
	apachectrl start

Now all this USED to be the way I'd get a working binary. I've followed
these instructions like a half dozen times (they're actually from my
personal notes).

Here's my startup messages:
[Tue Dec 10 20:42:51 2002] [notice] Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.12
OpenSSL/0.9.6g PHP/4.2.3 FrontPage/5.0.2.2510 configured -- resuming
normal operations
[Tue Dec 10 20:42:51 2002] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper:
/usr/local/sbin/suexec)
[Tue Dec 10 20:42:51 2002] [notice] Accept mutex: flock (Default: flock)

Looks good! But what I wind up with is a working apache13-modssl +
mod_php4, no frontpage... 

I then take an empty virtualhost website (as in, it's set up but has no
files) and do this:

/usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/bin/owsadm.exe -o install -u <username>
-pw <password> -m <domain.ext> -s /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf -xu
<sameusername> -ug <usergroup>

Which comes back with a friendly message about the installation being
successful. Too bad it doesn't work.. Again, Frontpage 2002 just hangs.

Thoughts, Ideas, Some cheese to go with my whine =)   anything would be
appreciated:
