Dear Nick,
Thank you for your extended reply. I was out of town this weekend, else I
would have gotten back to you earlier.

Well, everything seems to be going well, at least, but does not. :)

No errors reported, and it seems to have installed just fine; it says I have
a valid httpd, and httpd.conf has been changed to contain these two lines:
LoadModule frontpage_module libexec/apache/mod_frontpage.so
AddModule mod_frontpage.c
And those files exist in the right place. All as expected. Then I try and
start the httpd daemon:
-
asarian-host: {root} % /usr/local/sbin/httpd -DSSL
Syntax error on line 5 of /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'FrontPageEnable', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a
module not included in the server configuration

Eh? "FrontPageEnable" should be available when mod_frontpage has loaded. And
mod_ssl, in case you wondered, works fine by itself. And, unfortunately,
/var/log/httpd-error.log has no error-messages for this occasion.
So, what am I missing again? "suexec" (which I believe is mandatory), is
compiled in too:
-
asarian-host: {root} % /usr/local/sbin/httpd -l
Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_so.c
suexec: enabled; valid wrapper /usr/local/sbin/suexec

If you have any suggestions left, I will gladly hear them. :) Thanks!

Make sure the mod_fronpage directives aren't surrounded by some
blocks that aren't being loaded.
Line #5 is where the error is? What does your httpd.conf file
look like? I'm not sure about ordering but I would move
any Frontpage stuff to the bottom of your file after the
Load/AddModule directives. Don't know for sure if httpd.conf gets
processed in a linear fashion or not.
BTW, you should be using apachectl to start/stop/restart httpd.
'apachectl startssl' (Not that it matters much).

Sometimes I am such an idiot. :) I had placed these commands at the top of httpd.conf: FrontPageEnable FrontPageAdminDisable Which was not wise. :) Until, tonight, it finally dawned on me that these command are not recognized, because mod_frontpage has, at that point, not been loaded yet! I moved them after mod_frontage has loaded, and now everything works as expected. :) Thanks anyway for the trouble Nick, and the useful shortcut to using the fp_install.sh script. - Mark ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

All you should have to do is:
# cd /usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl && make install
# cd /usr/ports/www/mod_frontpage && make install
If all goes well you should have everything you need installed. I
personally don't use the fp_install.sh script...I think it sucks.
If I need to install frontpage extentions on a website I do the
following:
1) Add the VirtualHost to the main httpd.conf file (must
be in the main httpd.conf file):
ServerName www.domain.com
ServerAlias domain.com
DocumentRoot /home/jim/public_html
UserDir disabled
2) Install extensions with the owsadm.exe tool (execute
the line wrap):
# cd /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/bin
# ./owsadm.exe -o install -u jimfpuser -p 80 \
-m "www.domain.com" \
-servconf "/usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf" \
-xuser jim
3) Restart apache: # apachectl restart
It should prompt you for a password...which is the FRONTPAGE
password for the FRONTPAGE user 'jimfpuser' as seen above.
jimfpuser doesn't need to exist anywhere on the systemm, but you
will need to use it with the frontpage client to connect to
www.domain.com.
Now, there are some gotcha's with frontpage. First off, make
sure the owner and group owner of files located in the /home/jim/*
directories are above uid=100 and gid=100. Make sure the user jim
is created in the unix system password file and his home dir and
public_html dir exist or this will fail. Make sure mod_frontpage
is running. If you installed in the order above, mod_frontpage
may only be loaded when mod_ssl is loaded ('apachectl startssl').
I'm only touching the brim of problems with frontpage...
Finding complete documentation on the frontpage owsadm.exe command
blows. You will have to experiment or visit microsoft.com and try
to interpret their ramblings. I will also gladly try to answer
any questions if I know the answer.
