Hi Guys (and Gals)!

Hope someone can help as I am tearing my hair out here ;)

I have a server running Cpanel/whm and am having a spot of bother with publishing a site with frontpage 2002 but get an error message that the extensions are not installed for some of the functions such as forms.

The frontpage extensions folders are in the public_html folder so they are installed but I dont think the newest version is installed (2002). The version currently installed is FrontPage 5.0.2.2510, any ideas??

Thanks in advance.

S.

Have you tried just totally removing the server xtensions on that particular site, then re-adding them?

As far as versions - I'm not sure which version is which but I am sure you can get that at the MS site.

Good luck with it.

I have tried re-installing the extensions in cpanel and also removing/installing in WHM, no dice.

Log into the server via SSH and run /scripts/unsetupfp domainname.com and then /scripts/setupfp domainname.com. Does it throw you any error messages?

That ran fine with no errors, this is the only thing which may be an error of such:

"Note: Local version of Apache must use the FrontPage Apache patch."

Is that normal? It still don't work
:bawling:

Welcome to hell, my friend...I've been going through this for 2 days now. The cpanel guys said they are looking into it. Haven't heard anything back from them on it yet. Submit a ticket to them and to the people who provide your license. The more tickets they get on this, the more it'll light a fire under someone's a$$ to solve it.

I think you need to install Frontpage 2002 to rectify this problem.

OK, does anyone have detailed instructions on installing FrontPage 2002 extensions on a redhat 7.2 server with Apache 1.3.26 (am using cpanel/WHM)?

EDIT: looking at the microsoft site ~ http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/sharepnt/proddocs/admindoc/owsb02.asp

In the requirements it says Linux 6.2 and 7.0 (Red Hat Software) so does that mean it will not work with higher versions such as 7.2?

Does anyone running redhat 7.2 have the FP2002 ext. installed and working correctly?

I don't know why anyone would want to use FP, but yes, you can run it on any Redhat 7.x system with any Apache 1.3.x server.

Check to see that you have the frontpage module build in or loaded into Apache. Once you do that, check the permissions on the site, ownership, etc. as well as on the (and any other) .htaccess files. Check that the domainname.cnf file exists in the frontpage directory and look for any errors in the logs.

After you get that information, feel free to contact me, I bet it wouldn't be too difficult to get this going. I've helped fix FP problems for many people, many times. Sometimes though, there's just not much you can do with FP. I'd personally never install it and suggest clients use FTP.

Hi Robert,

All of that is ok, when apache was complied FP was included. They do work as such so you can publish sites but when using FP2002 you get a warning advising which pages (forms etc.. built by FP will not work properly due to the extensions not being installed.

I dislike FP but customers want it so I need to give it to them, so do you think by installing the latest FP 2002 ext will fix it?

Here are detailed instructions.

login via SSH.

cd to a directory that has plenty of space. (I created and use /home/src for things like this.

wget the latest FP update from http://layer1.cpanel.net.

chmod 744 filename

./filename

Grab a beer and wait...


Hopefully this will solve your problem. It didn't solve mine.

So you can publish, but the forms fail? Or do you actually have problems publishing? If it's just the forms, then make sure that FP mail extensions are installed.

Contact Cpanel and report it.

You might want to grab buildapache.sea from http://layer2.cpanel.net, and run through the Advanced setup. Make sure in the menu driven config that FP2002 extensions are selected. Then have it compile, while drinking previously stated beer.

Not 100% positive this will fix your problem, tho.

Nah, it doesn't :( Been there done that...beer was good though! :)

any resolution to this problem. I too have a client who's having this same problem and need a resolution.

anything!? i strongly disslike Microsoft.. why did they have to mess this up too?

Oh well... am looking for answers as I would like to make a client happy. :)

You can also try asking them to publish to http://domainname.com instead of http://www.domainname.com. I have had that happen and it seems to work. It's a very weird issue.
