You can't run the fp2002 on a raq2.  I'm running them on raq 3/4 but
when I tried to set them up on a raq 2, I found that even though MS
provides the source code for the apache patch, they do not provide the
source code for the extensions themselves.  Therefore you have to use
binary files.  I checked and guess what... they did not create binary
files for the Mips line of CPUs that are found in the earlier raqs.

Useless aside:  The apache patch compiles flawlessly on the Raq 2.  Too
bad there are no extensions though.


Ummm... I'm a little confused. Is the Apache patch already installed on the Raq4 by virtue of already having the FP2000 extensions, or is this something new and I need to install the Apache patch as well?

I am sure someone will give you a more accurate answer, but what he was speaking of was the files to compile for the different raq's deal with the processor the computer runs. The Raq2 a MIPS and the Raq 3 and 4 and AMD (or Intel compatible). Frontpage 2002 extensions are not available for for Linux. There is source as he stated.

What exactly does the Apache patch do? Is it possible it will break my Apache? Or is it just a module or something that I can comment out of httpd.conf? I'm running Apache 1.3.20 and it says it's designed for 1.3.19... I certainly don't want to have to recompile Apache...

Also will it break the functionality of the FrontPage features in the GUI (as suggested here: http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-users/2001-December/060779.html)? Why should it? Aren't the FP configurations simply the conf files written to /usr/local/frontpage and all that other drivel that goes in the user's web space? Why wouldn't the GUI still be able to write all the necessary files - or has the format for the configurations changed?

Yes it will break the GUI. The GUI on the Raq will set up directories and passwords and other settings. Frontpage2002 has different settings (abilities) in addition to Frontpage2000. Frontpage2002 extensions are not made available for the Raq as we were told that Microsoft can't make them run correctly all the time on a Windows computer, how do you expect them to run correctly on a Linux box. They have added more database connections. These connections are to Windows databases, not Linux, thus they won't run anyway.

In fact, why bother? I think I'll just go get a Windoze box...
Good luck to you there. My Windows 2000 server has IIS turned off and another web server installed.
