Installing FrontPage® 2002 Server Extensions

In order to use Microsoft FrontPage 2002 in conjunction with your Virtual Server, you must install the FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions. To do that, connect to your Virtual Server via Telnet or SSH and do the following.

  1. If you have Virtual Subhosts configured on your Virtual Server, you will need to move them to the ~/www/vhosts directory before you can successfully install the FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions. You may use the vhostmv command to help you move your virtual subhosts. 
    % vhostmv

    This command will move your virtual subhost home directories, and attempt to rewrite the <VirtualHost> and access configurations in the web server configuration files. Use caution!!! Backup your files before using the vhostmv command!!! It has been tested with as many different virtual subhosting configurations as we can think of, but perhaps not your particular configuration!

  2. Use the vinstall frontpage command to install the FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions. You will be prompted to answer a few questions before the server extensions and FrontPage Apache Module will be installed. 
    % vinstall frontpage

    NOTE: Do not use Ctrl-C to prematurely stop the installation. Doing so may create errors in your web server configuration file. You should allow the installation to fully run its course and close properly.

Removing FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions
