| 45 | <h3><a name="apache">Apache 1.3.4 Support</a></h3> |
| 46 | |
| 47 | <p>You need to take some special steps to run the FrontPage Server Extensions with Apache 1.3.4. |
| 48 | FrontPage Server Extensions expect to find all resource directives in the main server |
| 49 | configuration file, usually http.conf. To prevent the server extensions from using any secondary |
| 50 | configuration files (access.conf, srm.conf), add the following lines to http.conf:</p> |
| 51 | |
| 52 | |
| 53 | </font> |
| 54 | <blockquote> |
| 55 | <font face="Courier New"> |
| 56 | ResourceConfig /dev/null <br> |
| 57 | AccessConfig /dev/null</font> |
| 58 | </blockquote> |
| 59 | <font face="Verdana"> |
| 60 | |
| 61 | |
| 62 | <p>If you have some settings stored in secondary configuration files, move them to http.conf.</p> |
| 63 | |
| 64 | <p>You must stop and restart the web server for your changes to http.conf to take effect.</p> |
| 65 | |

| 70 | |
| 71 | |
| 72 | <h3><a name="upgrading">Upgrading from previous version of FrontPage Server Extensions</a></h3> |
| 73 | |
| 74 | <p>Custom entries in frontpage.cnf are not migrated to FrontPage 2000.</p> |
| 75 | |
| 76 | <p>When you install FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions, a new frontpage.cnf file is created in the /usr/local/frontpage/version4.0 directory. |
| 77 | Any custom settings stored in a previous-version frontpage.cnf are not used. However, you can copy |
| 78 | your custom settings from the previous-version frontpage.cnf file after you install the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions.</p> |
| 79 | |
| 80 | <p>Do not overwrite the FrontPage 2000 frontpage.cnf file with a frontpage.cnf file from an |
| 81 | earlier version of the FrontPage Server Extensions.</p> |
| 82 | |

| 89 | <h3><a name="executables">Uploading files into executable folders</a></h3> |
| 90 | |
| 91 | |
| 92 | <p>After upgrading to FrontPage 2000, FrontPage authors will not be able to upload files into |
| 93 | executable folders. For security reasons, the default setting on FrontPage 2000 webs does not |
| 94 | allow authors to upload executable files into executable folders in a FrontPage web. This |
| 95 | setting protects servers so that authors do not inadvertently upload a program containing a bug |
| 96 | or a virus.</p> |
| 97 | |
| 98 | <p>To allow FrontPage authors to upload executables, set the NoExecutableCgiUpload configuration |
| 99 | variable to zero (0). For information about FrontPage Server Extension configuration variables, |
| 100 | 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> |
