The only thing the port does is add the mod_frontpage.c source code into the apache server and install the extensions. Is DES encryption installed on your server? I'm not sure if this could be the cause of the problem, but I think I read some where that MS is using DES for the decrypting of passwords. If DES is not installed, fpsrvadm.exe uses the crypt library, which only has MD5, to encrypt the password. But the other programs (don't use the crypt library)use DES to decrypt the passwords, which gives your error. Hmmm, how should the port fix this, make a check to see if the des library is installed? Q. After the apache-fp port finishes it's install, are you able to administer the root web, or do you get the same error? As, the apache-fp port runs the fp-install.sh, which uses fpsrvadm.exe to create the root web.
