[cobalt-users] Frontpage Extensions Not Installing



I'm having a very consistent problem with frontpage extensions
not installing in /home/sites/site6/web on a RAQ4
I've tried deleting both of the above, rebooting the server, but
the extensions won't install.

When I encoutner FP install problems such as this, it's usally after migrating sites via CMU or adding/deleting FP VH's after suspending one..

If you SSH/Telnet into the box and go to /home/sites and do a ls -al, who owns site6..? Is it owned by root, httpd, or nobody..? If you have all the lateast patches installed, it should be owned by "nobody" <after using CMU it won't be>.. So for my fix, I simply issue a:

chown -R nobody.site6 /home/sites/site6

to set ownership to "nobody" which is what FP runs as on my box.. Then I go back in the siteadmin GUI for site6 and enable FP, which then installs without any complaining... <note: this might not be your issue, but check as I've found this to usually be the reason I can't get FP to install via the GUI after working on a site>..

Good Luck!
