I've been trying to get Apache with FrontPage Extension installed on my
server. I'm hoping someone here will help me out. :)
In my latest attempt, I've installed the following from ports in the
order listed:
apache-1.3.27_5
frontpage-5.0.2.2623_1
mod_frontpage-1.6.2
I've worked through configuring httpd.conf and running the fp-install.sh
script in /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0. When I attempt to open the
root web with the FrontPage 2002 client, I see "web root owned by
privileged user:" in my httpd-error.log.
A Google search indicates that this error is caused by compiling
mod_frontpage with the default minimum UID/GID of 100. I used
pkg_deinstall to remove mod_frontpage. Then I used portinstall to build
it again. I can see that the minimum UID/GID is set to 80 as this is in
the build output:
-DFP_UID_MIN=80 -DFP_GID_MIN=80
I have also verified that the UID and GID is 80 in /etc/passwd:
www:*:80:80:World Wide Web Owner:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin
What else can I check? Any suggestion are appreciated.
Thanks,
Drew
