Heya,

This happens, but there are some things that might fix your problem.. you
can thanks FP extentions for producing one error message for a large
amount of different errors that it could be ;)

Make sure you have the right ownership on the files under web
cd /home/sites/<site>
chown -R admin web   (Change ownership of files from web and down to
admin)

That might fix it..  if not try this:
remove all the frontpage files for the site, and reenable manually.. as
root
# cd /home/sites/<site>/web
# find . -name "_vti*"  (see if there are any...)
# find . -name "_vti*" -exec rm -rvf {} \;    (remove them..  )
# cd /usr/local/frontpage
# rm www.<site>.com:80.cnf
# cd /usr/local/frontpage/currentversion/bin
# ./fpsrvadm.exe

This will ask you some questions.. for instance, you might give these
answers if you're using a cobalt raq 3 or 4..

1. 1
2. 1
3. /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
4. www.hostname.com  (Change this to the name of the domain you're
working with)
5. nobody   (you'll change to admin later)
6. home     (home, or site1, site2, site3, site4, etc...)
7. webmaster (or whatever you use to login w/ frontpage)
8. insertpasswordhere  (the password you want to use)

Let me know if you have any questions..

Rob
