Sorry for all the junky posts, but I have more info (or lack of it). I reinstalled fpse, set the administration port, etc. Went into the admin pages and set everything up using my own Unix login as a the administrator this time, set up my subweb, etc. All looks good on the surface -- I can create the subweb '~vigh', but when I click on the subweb name in the subwebs section of the admin pages, I still get the 500 internal server error. The link points to: http://inte099182.halls.colostate.edu/~vigh/_vti_bin/_vti_adm/fpadmcgi.exe?p age=webadmin.htm.
Undaunted, I try to HTTP publish from FrontPage to my web: http://192.168.0.2/ I click on browse and I'm able to browse to my apparent subweb folder `~vigh'. Except now it says: 'The folder http://192.168.0.2/~vigh isn't accessible. The folder may be located in an unavailable location, protected with a password, or the filename starts with a / or \.' Then it beeps and gives the error: 'The folder may have been moved or deleted, or network problems may be preventing a connection to the server.' I published everything via ftp previously, so all the files are still sitting in /home/vigh/public_html, but trying to view the web page gives a 500 internal server error. Looking in the error_log, all I see is a '/home/vigh/public_html/.htaccess: IndexIgnore not allowed here'. Any ideas?

Another night of playing around and I finally got the darn thing working - all except the most important part (see below). I'm not really sure what it was that actually fixed it, but I pretty much started from scratch. First of all, I made sure that I had a clean httpd.conf file, as I had managed to garble it quite well in my previous attempts (I had made a bunch of changes to httpd.conf based on various info - I'm guessing that some of these might have been questionable or not necessary). So I got a clean original httpd.conf off of another FC2 machine, changed the relevant settings to match my previous httpd.conf, making sure not to muck with any of the other changes I had made since trying to install FPSE. Once I was satisfied that it was 'clean' and that Apache was still working, I went through the entire process on John Spence's tutorial: http://www.johnspencer.info/LinuxTutorials/Red_Hat_FPSE/FPSE2002onRedHat9.ht ml I didn't really do anything differently than before, but only changed the things he mentioned. I also downloaded the source file and install script from RTR's site -- checking against what I had been using before, I discovered that the source was different! Strange . . . Anyway, the install script seemed to work, but gave 'errors' about a few things (missing subwebs, a failed upgrade), probably related to my previous failed attempts. Also, it strangely didn't ask for a password when it created my frontpage administrator -- disturbing. Doubtful, I opened up the admin pages and LO and BEHOLD, they worked! I think that I'm able to set up everything correctly in the admin pages, and from the Frontpage side, I am able to HTTP publish an index page for the server to the root web in /var/www/html. However, when trying to publish to my user subweb (~vigh/ or actual path: /home/vigh/public_html), it says 'Server error: You cannot convert a VirtualDirectory into a subweb remotely. . .'. This is after I already went in and set everything up in the Admin pages, or at least I thought. It's almost seems like my administration changes aren't being saved to the server. So my questions are these: 1. Why didn't it let me set an password for global administration? I set one once I got in the admin pages, but the next time I go to login in to adminstration, a blank password still works? 2. What URL should I use to publish to a 'public_html'-style web? http://192.168.0.2/~vigh/? Or http://192.168.0.2//home/vigh/public_html/? Or something else? 3 What else do I need to do? When I go and try to administer my subweb '~vigh', I get a '500 internal server error'. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Jonathan ------------------------------------ Jonathan Vigh Graduate Research Assistant [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: (970) 492-9841 http://inte099182.halls.colostate.edu/~vigh/ ------------------------------------ -----Original Message----- From: Timothy Stone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 6:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: apache-fp@lists.joshie.com Subject: Re: [Apache-FP] Administrator pages not working on FC3 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Jan 25, 2005, at 1:35 AM, Jonathan L Vigh wrote: > Greetings, > > I finally got the Frontpage Server Extensions v1.2 onto my linux > box (FC3) running apache2.0.52.

You will need a port open on 8090 (or xxxx port as configured) to admin the extensions/permissions. > Has anyone found a way to do the adminstration locally on the linux > box with an available linux browser?

I pretty much ended up setting the administrator at the command line and just barely touched it afterwards. I have had success admining from a Mac OS X Panther PowerBook for more than a month, when I have to admin it. But if I've had to do anything, it's tweak my httpd.conf here and there, mainly related to security, not to admin. > > > Thanks for any help! > > Jonathan Vigh > > > <image.tiff>"And God said, let there be hurricanes, and let them be > fruitful and multiply."
