| </H3> |
| <P>You need to take some special steps to run the FrontPage Server Extensions with Apache 1.3.4. |
| FrontPage Server Extensions expect to find all resource directives in the main server |
| configuration file, usually http.conf. To prevent the server extensions from using any secondary |
| configuration files (access.conf, srm.conf), add the following lines to http.conf:</P> |
| </FONT> |
| <BLOCKQUOTE> |
| <FONT face="Courier New"> |
| ResourceConfig /dev/null <BR> |
| AccessConfig /dev/null</FONT> |
| </BLOCKQUOTE> |
| <FONT face="Verdana"> |
| <P>If you have some settings stored in secondary configuration files, move them to http.conf.</P> |
| <P>You must stop and restart the web server for your changes to http.conf to take effect.</P> |

| </H3> |
| <P>Custom entries in frontpage.cnf are not migrated to FrontPage 2000.</P> |
| <P>When you install FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions, a new frontpage.cnf file is created in the /usr/local/frontpage/version4.0 directory. |
| Any custom settings stored in a previous-version frontpage.cnf are not used. However, you can copy |
| your custom settings from the previous-version frontpage.cnf file after you install the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions.</P> |
| <P>Do not overwrite the FrontPage 2000 frontpage.cnf file with a frontpage.cnf file from an |
| earlier version of the FrontPage Server Extensions.</P> |

| <A name="executables">Uploading files into executable folders</A> |
| </H3> |
| <P>After upgrading to FrontPage 2000, FrontPage authors will not be able to upload files into |
| executable folders. For security reasons, the default setting on FrontPage 2000 webs does not |
| allow authors to upload executable files into executable folders in a FrontPage web. This |
| setting protects servers so that authors do not inadvertently upload a program containing a bug |
| or a virus.</P> |
| <P>To allow FrontPage authors to upload executables, set the NoExecutableCgiUpload configuration |
| variable to zero (0). For information about FrontPage Server Extension configuration variables, |
| see 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> |
