West (jlwest@tseinc.com) We are running FP extensions on our internal FreeBSD Apache server in order to accommodate the vi-challenged. FreeBSD 2.1.5-R or later is needed to run the MS setup and cgi binaries. It puts a few lines of gunk in the srm.conf file. Setup is a little nicer if you have X11 clients usable on your HTTP server and Win32 X11 server software running on the Microsquish boxes. I changed uid/gid of the http server daemon from nobody/nogroup to www/www and did chown -R www:www on anything the server needed. Seems to work - I never touch it, having enough keyboard machismo to deal with scary old vi.
