frontpage and apache.

[mconsult]

I have apache 2.0 running on netware 6.0 server. I would like to know , if anyone has attemped to load frontpage extensions on this version of apache.

I have. It can be done but it ain't pretty.

The best instructions I've seen for getting the software installed are here:

Thanks for the reply. I have several customer wanting to use frontpage extensions. Does it work ok or allot of problems

Some of it works.

For page authoring it does okay so long as your users don't try to use the canned applications that come with FrontPage. I haven't been able to get those to work yet.

Also there is a real irritation that when administering FrontPage, the service requires the presence of the ResourceConfig and AccessConfig runtime configuration directives -- but those directives aren't supported in Apache 2.0. It they're there, Apache barfs on a restart or on starting on boot.

Thanks. How about apache 1.3

The ResourceConfig and AccessConfig problem should go away. But I haven't tried Apache 1.3

One more gotcha that I just remembered. mod_mime_magic and FrontPage do not play well together.
