RE: [cobalt-users] FP issue - There HAS to be a fix by now somewhere.

It's not that the FrontPage _vti files are corrupted or missing, it's the
permissions in the file: /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf
The fix you are trying to run only repairs those files if FrontPage is truly
broken.

Although it is semi-drastic, I had to change this setting under <Directory
/home/sites/>:

# This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can
# override. Can also be "All", or any combination of "Options", "FileInfo",
# "AuthConfig", and "Limit"

AllowOverride AuthConfig Indexes Limit

TO

# This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can
# override. Can also be "All", or any combination of "Options", "FileInfo",
# "AuthConfig", and "Limit"

AllowOverride ALL AuthConfig Indexes Limit

(NOTE THE ALL SETTING)

It does decrease the security of the sites of all sites a bit, but it seems
as though the add-ons that FrontPage creates at the bottom of the conf file
eventually are no longer seen and it tries to change the setting to degraded
anyway. The change to the conf file to all the sites instead of just some of
them is the only change this makes.

CAUTION NOTE: you will see the line:
AllowOverride ALL AuthConfig Indexes Limit
Under / <Directory /home/sites/> also... DO NOT CHANGE THAT ONE!

I hope I explained this ok?

Subject: [cobalt-users] FP issue - There HAS to be a fix by now somewhere.

I've been fighting this frontpage problem for the last couple years and have
kept watching for a fix but to no avail.

Same old problem with FP extensions disappearing.  FP2000 & 2002 choke after
adding a website, or, heaven forbid, not updating it daily.  The problem
comes when the workaround doesn't work. (Delete the FP ext in the GUI,
telnet in and doublecheck to see if the FP extensions are gone in
/usr/local/frontpage, run meta-verify -f -s -a to rebuild the domain list
parameters, then manually add back the extensions through the GUI).

Unfortunately, I need FP or I would have changed a long time ago.  Has
anyone found a not so cumbersome workaround they will share?

Thanks in advance.
