Re: [cobalt-users] What frontpage extensions are supported (Post #2)



>   Can anyone tell me exactly what FrontPage extensions are or are not
supported on the current Raq3 servers?

As far as I know:
- FrontPage "subwebs" are not available
- The FrontPage "permissions" feature does not work
- You can't password protect a site with an .htaccess file, because it
blocks FrontPage's ability to "publish" sites
- You cannot use FTP to upload files to your website after the FrontPage
server extensions have been installed (you're not supposed to anyway, but on
the RaQ it's not possible)
- Because of the FTP problem, it's difficult to upload CGI scripts (which
need to be uploaded as ASCII); you can upload them to a non-FrontPage area
of your server, then chmod them and (logged in as root) mv (move) them to
the FrontPage site's web folder (there's probably an easier way, but this
works)
