Okay, I've been wrestling with frontpage for most of the night. It's been a NOT FUN evening. The versions in "ports" fail because microsoft just released new bloatcode on the 24th. Compiling apache from scratch is yielding mixed results at best: I followed the FAQ at http://freebsd.lanfear.com/howtos/frontpage.html pretty much to the letter. It's giving me THIS problem: I can specify ONE user. After that one, no others can log in (none specified subsequently). I tried following microsoft's advice (whereby it runs some crucial binaries setuid), and this resulted in a wrapper of some sort not being found (it was an exe/_vti_ something or other, the exe was there, but apache wasn't understanding the syntax too well) I have reinstalled this crap like six times tonight, always hitting the same problem. Once I create a root web, all my virtual hosts won't accept any password except the root web's admin password. It SHOWS them being there when I look through fp 98, but they don't work. I tried patching the binary. WHen patched it runs for all of two seconds and dies. (perhaps because my apache is located in /usr/local/apachefp -- I see no reason to down my sites to hammer on frontpage, but I would think the patch program would pick up on that) I'm rather exasperated by all this, and my real question is:has anyone gotten frontpage, with the FreeBSD server extensions, working flawlessly? By this I mean having your root web working, as well as your virtual webs (why can't m$ use standard terms?). With all using more than one password, with all running as the user owning the directory (possibly as DIFFERENT users) If so, would you care to share? By the way, love that little disclaimer on the m$ site that says they're not responsible for freebsd. *sigh* -Dan Mahoney To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
