I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.1 and Apache 1.2b7. Both of those are working
fine.
Now I'm installing the FP server extensions to a virtual host per the
instructions at
http://www.rtr.com/fpsupport/UnixInstall.html
and
http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage/wpp/kit/unixinstall.htm
I ran the following command:
./fp_install -host www.frozentundra.com -web / -user crevier
All looked well until it got to step 14. Here's the output from there:
----[begin]----
Step 14: Set Security For The Web Administrator (using fpsrvadm.exe)
Starting security, port: www.frozentundra.com:80, web:
"/usr/local/www/html"
Version: 2.0.2.1125
Created: 05 Jun 1997 00:03:14 CDT
Invalid character in web name "/usr/local/www/html": (0x2f).
chown: /usr/www/crevier/tundra/_vti_pvt/access.cnf: No such file or
directory
chown: /usr/www/crevier/tundra/_vti_pvt/service.grp: No such file or
directory
chown: /usr/www/crevier/tundra/_vti_pvt/service.pwd: No such file or
directory
Remember to restart the server so that the new ScriptAlias
directives t
ake effect.
Installation Complete.
----[end]----
I recall seeing a FAQ on a similar error with an invalid character in
a user name, but that did not help me here. I have already removed
everything and started over and it still gave the same error.
I'm guessing that it might be some kind of shell interpolation thing,
but I don't know, because the actual web path is working fine for
Apache. It's just Front Page that does not like it.
Anyone got any ideas?
