Greetings all,

 I've had a working install of the FrontPage Extensions with Apache 2 
for quite some time. Previously, the machine was set up to rely on LDAP 
for filesystem ownership and such. Recently, we switched our servers 
around so that the filesystem no longer relies on LDAP, and made it so 
that there's a single UID and GID for all customers, and now the only 
thing that uses LDAP, is proftpd, for authentication.

Since changing to this, the frontpage stuff doesn't seem to be working 
properly. At first glance, all I noticed was that the FP admin web page 
no longer listed all virtual hosts, but only the ones that had the FP 
extensions installed. While it sort of bothered me that it was this way, 
I didn't think much of it, since it worked like this before when I had 
all the virtual hosts in a separate conf file.

 Today, I went to add the FP extensions for a new virtual host. First 
error I get, is that it doesn't like usernames and group names that are 
numerical. If I fool it with an actual name for each, it then says that 
it can't find srm.conf. I've never used a srm.conf file, and doing a 
search on the machine for this file turned up results of the file in 
places that haven't been used in quite some time, and the file was blank 
anyway.

 I'm thinking this boils down to file ownership/permission mistakes, now 
that the machine no longer relies on LDAP. So, my question is, what 
should the ownership be for the /usr/local/frontpage directory? Should 
this be set to the same user/group that Apache runs as?

If I need to clarify anything here, feel free to ask.
