The fpsrvadm.exe only looks for the <VirtualHost ......> entry in order to
find the document root for the server.  Since you specified the IP address
instead of the host name in the VirtualHost directive, fpsrvadm.exe can't
find the virtual host that you want to setup (it doesn't look for the
ServerName directive).  You need to use the IP address to create the virtual
web.

NOTE: You will need to create a soft link between the
203.63.133.131:<port>.cnf and the www1.texpro.com.au:<port>.cnf in the
/usr/local/frontpage directory, so that you can open the vhost by name
instead of IP.

Another alternative is to setup your VirtualHost entry as follows:

<VirtualHost www1.texpro.com.au>
ServerName www1.texpro.com.au
Listen 203.63.133.131                                <-- Not sure if this
will affect other vhosts
DocumentRoot /home/david/texpro
</VirtualHost>


Now you can use the your original fpsrvadm.exe command (shown above) to
create the virtual host.

This is because the installation of the FP Exts did not get installed to the
DocumentRoot for the virtual host.

Not a permissions problem, but an apache config problem in regard to how
FrontPage expects things to be setup.
