Hi I have got the three ports compiled fine on my machine and with php4 in as well. Here is the proof!! [Sat Apr 13 15:24:50 2002] [notice] Apache/1.3.23 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.7 OpenSSL/0 .9.6a FrontPage/5.0.2.2623 PHP/4.1.2 configured -- resuming normal operations [Sat Apr 13 15:24:50 2002] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/local/sbin/suexec) It is rather tricky and I had to use apxs to compile in the FrontPage extensions. The main problem is file permissions. Once I got so far FrontPage generates a log file called /var/log/httpd-fpexec.log. This makes life a bit easier. One other thing - after a failed login from FrontPage - you need to restart FrontPage before it will properly try again to access the server. fpexec is also installed in the wrong place be default - you need to copy it in to /usr/local/apachebin and set the permissions to 4550. I also have a very vague set of instruction I made out in Word as I went. It took me a few months of trying one and off!! Trust this help!!
