I had that happen to me and did:

Type "fpsrvadm -h" for help on command line options

It is not really FP, it is how Cobalt implemented them. I am trying to figure
out how to implement Apache-FP mods when I install ssl. You would think that
Cobalt support never heard of them.

I am thinking about totally removing Cobalt's implementation and reinstalling
FP from scratch (sounds like CD Restore time again <grin>). I really do not
like the FP root web being at /home/groups/home either. Limits one from
allowing other groups or users from using FP subwebs except under the
/home/groups/home directory. I've got a lot of reasons for not wanting that
arrangement. I asked Cobalt what they would charge to work me up a change and
they said it could cost 2 hours just to figure out what had to be done.

Oh well, sounds like a nice fall project.
