I was at your position in January and after spending 3 weeks writing emails to the maintainers of mod_frontpage and frontpage about how since mod_frontpage was changed in January that the two ports no longer worked together and not getting any kind of reply from then I gave up on the apache13 + mod_frontpage + frontpage combination, removing them from my system and started over with apache13-fp. This one installed and works for me. It has just one simple conf error. Two files are defined in the httpd.conf file but not allocated and cause apache not to start. /usr/local/etc/apache/mine.types /usr/local/etc/apache/magic Those files are really installed as part of the port, but they have the word default appended to the end of the files name. Edit httpd.conf and about 3/4 of the way into httpd.conf you will find these files. Edit there names to mine.types.default & magic.default and restart apache13-fp and it will work. You can tell if the frontpage extensions are active by doing ps ax , you will see httpd -DMOD_FP. The bottom line is mod_frontpage is broken and the only way to get it fixed is to email the maintainer and write a FBSD Problem Report. The more people who complain the better, so jump in and do your part. Scot W. Hetzel [hetzels@westbend.net] maintainer for frontpage port Martin Blapp [mb@imp.ch] maintainer for mod_frontpage port http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html submit problem report Good luck -----Original Message----- From: jim [mailto:jim@jwweeks.com] Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 3:07 AM To: Joe & Fhe Barbish Cc: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Apache/1.3.23 PHP/4.1.2 FrontPage/5.0D Thanks Joe, I had in fact missed the "FrontPageAdminEnable" directive, I thought it was only necessary when enabling http administration. This did allow me to create sub-webs, however the Explorer errors out during the final update. I'm not sure where to go from here since no errors are written to the server logs. This is the error FrontPage explorer displays: An unexpected Web Extender error occurred on the server. Authors -please contact the webmaster for this server's site. WebMasters - please see the server's logs for more details. Without seeing something in the way of errors from the server itself, I'm not sure how to proceed. -- Jim Weeks On Sun, 10 Mar 2002, Joe & Fhe Barbish wrote: > #/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start This is apache13 port > > /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh start This is apache13-fp port > > > Here is the contents of a email I responded to some one else's request for > help date 2/14/202. > > > Yep you just got bit by the FBSD min standards.
