Sorry for the delay in replying...I know how frustrating it can be
waiting on an answer. BACKGROUND: I was having the same problem on two different servers, each running
FC2. I am running named based virtual webs on both. I could access
the server administration page for Frontpage but not the site administration
pages for any of the webs. On one server FP could not create the directory _vti_cnf or change any
files in that directory. I checked the permissions on the directory and
all of the files and could not find a problem. On the other server I did not
get any error messages but had the same problems access the site administration
pages. SOLUTION: Here is how I solved my problem....it is not very
eloquent but it worked. Delete the directory /var/www/html (and obviously
all files and directories under it). Make a new /var/www/html directory
with the user and group set to apache and the permissions set to 755.
Since I am running name based virtual servers, I also created the following directories
for each virtual domain with the same owner:group and permissions as
/var/www/html: /var/www/html/vhosts /var/www/html/vhosts/domain1 /var/www/html/vhosts/domain2 Restart httpd (service httpd restart). On one of my
machines the restart failed and I had to reboot the machine to get it running. Reinstall Frontpage using ./fp_install.sh but use a
different administrator name and password than you used the original install
(you will see why later) Restart httpd Go to the server administration page and log in
using the new administrator name and password. If you cannot log in, then
log in using the old administrator name and password. If you had to use
the old name and password, make the changes to service.grp and service.pwd
outlined in the CHANGING ADMINISTRATOR NAME AND PASSWORD section below. Go to the server administration page again and see
if you can access the site administration page for the main web, if not, remove
Frontpage extensions from the main web using the "remove all" option
then add the extensions back using the "extend a virtual server
option. If you are using named based virtual servers only extend the name
based virtual servers, not the main web. It should all work now...at least it did for me. If it
works, or if you have any problems let me know. Tom CHANGING ADMINISTRATOR NAME AND PASSWORD There is a Frontpage master admin (g-d) account.
This user can access the main admin page on port 8090 and extend webs and
do admin type things. The master admin account is stored in /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/admin-exes/_vti_pvt/ service.grp service.pwd The way to change the master admin is to edit
service.grp file to change "root" (or whatever usename
you had in there) to be whatever you want. Then open service.pwd and delete the line with
"root" . Now to change the encrypted password stored in service.grp you
type this... (replacing root with whatever you put in service.grp) htpasswd -n root and enter the new password when prompted. The
line that is returned will be the replacement line to paste in to
service.pwd. You have now updated the master admin
password. I think there isn't an easier way to do this simply because it is a
very powerful account. -----Original Message----- So do I. Which permissions do we have to change? "Phil Maiorano" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >What was the file and permissions that needed to be changed???? I
