37<h3><a name="apache">Apache 1.3.4 Support</a></h3>
Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000038<p>You need to take some special steps to run the FrontPage Server Extensions with Apache 1.3.4.
Daniel Veillard424af391999-08-10 19:10:03 +000039FrontPage Server Extensions expect to find all resource directives in the main server
40configuration file, usually http.conf. To prevent the server extensions from using any secondary
Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000041configuration files (access.conf, srm.conf), add the following lines to http.conf:</p>
42</font>
Daniel Veillard4a53eca1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000043<blockquote><font face="Courier New">
Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000044ResourceConfig /dev/null&#160;<br>
Daniel Veillard4a53eca1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000045AccessConfig /dev/null</font></blockquote>
Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000046<font face="Verdana">
47<p>If you have some settings stored in secondary configuration files, move them to http.conf.</p>
48<p>You must stop and restart the web server for your changes to http.conf to take effect.</p>

50<h3><a name="upgrading">Upgrading from previous version of FrontPage Server Extensions</a></h3>
Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000051<p>Custom entries in frontpage.cnf are not migrated to FrontPage 2000.</p>
52<p>When you install FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions, a new frontpage.cnf file is created in the /usr/local/frontpage/version4.0 directory.
Daniel Veillard424af391999-08-10 19:10:03 +000053Any custom settings stored in a previous-version frontpage.cnf are not used. However, you can copy
Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000054your custom settings from the previous-version frontpage.cnf file after you install the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions.</p>
55<p>Do not overwrite the FrontPage 2000 frontpage.cnf file with a frontpage.cnf file from an
56earlier version of the FrontPage Server Extensions.</p>

58<h3><a name="executables">Uploading files into executable folders</a></h3>
Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000059<p>After upgrading to FrontPage 2000, FrontPage authors will not be able to upload files into
Daniel Veillard424af391999-08-10 19:10:03 +000060executable folders. For security reasons, the default setting on FrontPage 2000 webs does not
61allow authors to upload executable files into executable folders in a FrontPage web. This
62setting protects servers so that authors do not inadvertently upload a program containing a bug
Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000063or a virus.</p>
64<p>To allow FrontPage authors to upload executables, set the NoExecutableCgiUpload configuration
Daniel Veillard424af391999-08-10 19:10:03 +000065variable to zero (0). For information about FrontPage Server Extension configuration variables,
Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000066see the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions Resource Kit at <a href="http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/frontpage/wpp/serk/">http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/frontpage/wpp/serk/</a>.</p>
