RE: [cobalt-users] FrontPage Extensions broken after DOS attack

Matt,

Since you did not specify which you have, then I am going to generalize the
process that we use.  

Usually uninstall and reinstall (uncheck - save - check) will do the trick.
We have had to remove the .htaccess from the web directory and
subdirectories (stats on raq550), then it will reinstall with a check and
password.

Subject: [cobalt-users] FrontPage Extensions broken after DOS attack

Hello List,

Last week one of my servers was attacked (DOS attack) on port 80. After
getting rid of the scum, we found that about 90% of our sites had broken
FrontPage Extensions. So far, the only  fix is to go into each site settings
and redo the extensions -this took two and half days! Does anyone know of a
quicker fix from the command line or a script I can write that will go
through each site and repair the extensions?

Now we are finding that not all of the extensions are remaining fixed, we
have to go back and redo them a second time.

As for testing of broken extensions, we normally go to the site and click on
the FrontPage icon in the browser and see if it asks for a
Username/password, if not, then the extensions are broken .. any suggestions
on a quicker way to test?

(I have searched the archives, but did not find any matches on this, sorry
if I missed it somehow)

Thanks,

  /\/\att
