[cobalt-users] Frontpage Extensions for Site Users



Hi,

I have a new RAQ4i with twelve domains on it.  All of
them work great except one.  The domain in question 
has frontpage extensions at the root level and those
work fine.  Some of the site users for this domain have
frontpage extensions and those work fine.  But no new
users (or existing non-frontpage users) can get frontpage
extensions added.  Each attempt results with a triangle
error stating that "a frontpage web could not be configured
successfully."

The log contains no information.  I have gone through the
archives of this list and tried following some suggestions,
but to no avail.

Here's the weirdness.  I can add and remove fp extensions
freely to site users of any other domain.  I can add and
remove extensions freely for site users of the faulty
domain so long as they have had front page extensions
previously installed.  I can not add extensions for new
site users or existing site users who have not had front
page extensions previously installed.

I have removed extensions from every user in the domain,
removed extensions from the domain root itself, checked
for the existence of an extraneous .cnf file, and added
extensions back to the web and back to the users.  If
users were deleted and then re-added, they could no longer
get extensions installed.

After all this, I still had the same problem.  Those who 
had extensions before still have them.  Those who did not
can not get them.

So I have now removed the extensions from both the users
and the domain.  Backed up the web pages.  Removed any
/usr/local/frontpage/.cnf files for the domain.  Deleted
all the users.  Deleted the domain.  And gone through
httpd.conf to make sure there are no extraneous lines of
configuration there for the domain.

I then readded the domain from scratch.  The result?

Now none of the users can get frontpage extensions on this
domain, but I can still add and remove extensions for site
users of other domains at will.

Is this a bug or am I just an idiot?  (Allowing for a
strong possibility for the latter.)  If anyone has a
remote clue, I'd be glad to hear it.  I'm a bit of a newbie
when it comes to Linux so full instructions would be
helpful.

Thanks.
