Anybody have any issues with 2002 extensions on Linux servers?

Only the ones Cpanel causes :D


I never use frontpage, but I sometimes get complaints that FP isn't working, so I just look for files that Cpanel screwed up...

If it doesn't work, try:

chattr -i -R /usr/local/frontpage

;)

I don't know how true this is, but I heard rumors that Microsoft diliberatly made it harder to install the new FrontPage Ext. on Unix or Linux machines.

To gain market share with the Win 2000 Servers.

Anyone know if this is true?

I think

rm -Rf /usr/local/frontpage

Is much better :D

I had some problems with Frontpage 2002 on ensim.

But all that fixed it is reinstalling the Frontpage extensions and it worked fine after that. Wasn't too much of a hassle.

I've been running FP2002 extensions on Apache 1.3.20 with not a problem for a few months now, about 75 sites. I don't think install was difficult, but I'm also a coder, patching and compiling is smooth for me.

I don't think it's a good idea to post such commands in a forum. Someone could be a newbie and actually try it.

Do you know what that command actually does? It fixes what CPanel sometimes screws up during an update. :D

I think he meant to quote the one after it, where it encouraged people to type "rm -rf /usr/local/frontpage". To our viewers, that of course would toast your whole frontpage directory. Best not to joke about that cause somebody will try it. :D Or at least give a disclaimer. "Don't actually type this."

For those who offer Frontpage 2002 on Linux/UNIX, you should wait for 'improved frontpage extension patch' (http://home.edo.uni-dortmund.de/%7Echripo/). The project appears to be dead, but there is a preliminary patch in the forum. I personally wouldn't use the apache module supplied by Microsoft, it caused too much grief in the past.

Darn it I quoted the wrong post. Was trying to quote the rm -f one.
