        OK -- now it's more than two weeks -- any news on FrontPage
        Server Extensions on Digital UNIX?

        Bob

The latest patch appears to work.

        I am not able to install it on a Digital UNIX V4.0A system
        running Netscape Enterprise V2.01 -- the installation
        procedure coredumps:

I'm able to get past the install and things sort of, kind of work.
However, it's not usable if you have soft links for the pages or
if your page has a name other than the same as the directory.

I keep getting "transfer interupted", or with soft links, "document
has no data". 

I'm on a V3.0 DUNIX using the Apache server. Has anybody gotten this
to work???? liesl

Well, I've just deinstalled and reinstalled and now I get a bit
further. I must have had something configured incorrectly. The
browsers now work again. But I still can't publish or pull from
Frontpage. I get a pop-up with a server error on the frontpage end.
The error_log of the server shows nothing, the access_log shows my
attempt with a message 200 (document follows) which is good. 

Plain old ftp is looking better all the time. liesl

Liesl,

I do have the the frontpage extensions working on a DUNIX Apache server
here and it works fine (except I can't recalculate links if I have the
altavista forum directory linked under htdocs).  I'm not sure I understand
what troubles you're having, but if you want to try things on my system
as a reference point, send me mail and/or stop by.

Dale, thanks, I'll stop by tomorrow. I've gotten to the point
where I reach the server but then get a privilege error. So far
this has been very frustrating. We did get this working on an NT
server though. liesl

    I can't get the FP Server Extensions to work.
    
    I copied the newest kit and hab no problems during Installation,
    but when I try to connect with FP97, I get a small message box:
    "Problem with Server Extensions, contact Web-Administrator".
    
    The error-log is empty, this is in access-log:
    
    "GET /_vti_inf.html HTTP/1.0" 200 1819
    "POST /_vti_bin/shtml.exe/_vti_rpc HTTP/1.0" 200 11
    
    On my client I have the following info in the nt4-eventlog:
    
    Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions:
    Error #40006 Message: RPC-Syntaxerror: "RPC header" from ""
    was expected, but got "<HTML>??de
    
    
    
    
     This happens with DEC Unix 3.2c and Netscape Enterprise Server 2.01
    
    Stefan.

I don't know about this particular error but I had one hell of
time getting FP extentions to work. One thing I ended up doing
was making my account own all the http directories and be the 
one running the server. 

Another thing I saw happen. I had an MS word doc file in one of 
my FP webs. FP broke everytime I tried to publish that web and
told me I had server problems. liesl
