Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000041<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 +000042FrontPage Server Extensions expect to find all resource directives in the main server
43configuration file, usually http.conf. To prevent the server extensions from using any secondary
Daniel Veillard8c9872c2002-07-05 18:17:10 +000044configuration files (access.conf, srm.conf), add the following lines to http.conf:</p>

47</font><blockquote>

51</blockquote>
52<font face="Verdana">
53
54
55<p>If you have some settings stored in secondary configuration files, move them to http.conf.</p>
56
Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000057<p>You must stop and restart the web server for your changes to http.conf to take effect.</p>

Daniel Veillard8c9872c2002-07-05 18:17:10 +000066
Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000067<p>Custom entries in frontpage.cnf are not migrated to FrontPage 2000.</p>
Daniel Veillard8c9872c2002-07-05 18:17:10 +000068
Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000069<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 +000070Any custom settings stored in a previous-version frontpage.cnf are not used. However, you can copy
Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000071your custom settings from the previous-version frontpage.cnf file after you install the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions.</p>
Daniel Veillard8c9872c2002-07-05 18:17:10 +000072
Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000073<p>Do not overwrite the FrontPage 2000 frontpage.cnf file with a frontpage.cnf file from an
74earlier version of the FrontPage Server Extensions.</p>

84
Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000085<p>After upgrading to FrontPage 2000, FrontPage authors will not be able to upload files into
Daniel Veillard424af391999-08-10 19:10:03 +000086executable folders. For security reasons, the default setting on FrontPage 2000 webs does not
87allow authors to upload executable files into executable folders in a FrontPage web. This
88setting protects servers so that authors do not inadvertently upload a program containing a bug
Daniel Veillard8c9872c2002-07-05 18:17:10 +000089or a virus.</p>
90
Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000091<p>To allow FrontPage authors to upload executables, set the NoExecutableCgiUpload configuration
Daniel Veillard424af391999-08-10 19:10:03 +000092variable to zero (0). For information about FrontPage Server Extension configuration variables,
Daniel Veillardaf78a0e1999-12-12 13:03:50 +000093see 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>
