it certainly looks that way: > #0 0x403395f0 in strcmp () from /lib/libc.so.6 > #1 0x4062f5d0 in frontpage_checkForStub (filename=0x0) at > /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/apache2/mod_frontpage.c:677 >, if so is it > possible to run both modules on the same server. I can't think of a reason why not. I suspect that the problem may be with the complex test setup rather than any real interaction difficulties when both are configured for separate locations or directories. that the majority of the tests are just fine would seem to indicate that as well. > Reason being I want to > be able to offer both frontpage and asp(perl script) to my users? > > Hope you can help me with this one.

[Tue Sep 07 15:30:48 2004] [error] Not running as root in FrontPageCheckup(). Until this problem is fixed, the FrontPage security patch is disabled and the FrontPage extensions may not work correctly. so, basically mod_frontpage is warning us that because the server is not started as root things may go awry. it's been a very long time since I've needed to run tests as root, but back about a year or so ago adding this to the generated TEST.PL before run() is called was sufficient to get the server running as root: use Apache::TestRunPerl (); use Apache::TestConfig (); # override root blocks local *Apache::TestConfig::default_user = sub { return 'root' }; local *Apache::TestConfig::default_group = sub { return 'root' }; # and that nasty chown stuff local *Apache::TestRun::adjust_t_perms = sub { 1 }; if you get the server running as root and those messages to disappear that might be a help. of course, the test suite isn't designed to run as root so it may cause even more problems ;) other than that, I really don't know what to say. it's been a very long time since I played with fpe on unix, so mostly what I remember is that it is a royal pain to support :) but that aside, if these are your only failing tests, and all you plan on doing is adding Apache::ASP as a content handler, and it is a low-volume site, I suspect that you would be just fine to forge forward. typical caveats apply :) --Geoff -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
