Apache Configuration System
FrontPage Support
← Go BackFrontPage is supported for all versions of Apache available through EasyApache 3 and all
operating systems supported by cPanel. For Apache 2.0 and 2.2, the fpexe FrontPage binary is
replaced with a copy of /scripts/fp-auth which collects the authentication tokens
generated by mod_auth_passthrough and does not require the SUID bit of a more
traditional mod_frontpage installation. Most common FrontPage problems can be
addressed by:
- Running
/scripts/initsuexec - Uninstalling and reinstalling the FrontPage extensions on the affected account
- Checking for errors generated by visiting the FrontPage administration interface at
http://http://domain.com/_vti_bin/_vti_adm/fpadmcgi.exe
FrontPage on 64-bit Systems
The FrontPage binaries are compiled in 32-bit mode, so the underlying OS must support execution of 32-bit binaries. On most Linux systems, 32-bit compatibility libraries are installed by default and no special configuration is required. On 64-bit FreeBSD systems, 32-bit compatibility is NOT installed by default. For FrontPage to function on these systems, the 32-bit compatibility layer must be installed. This involves:
- Adding "
WITH_LIB32=yes" to/etc/make.conf - Rebuilding the core operating system libraries with "make buildworld" and "make installworld"
- Rebuilding the kernel if 32-bit support was not previously enabled
NOTE: Please carefully read the FreeBSD manual before attempting to enable 32-bit support on a 64-bit FreeBSD system. Upgrading the core OS in this fashion is a complex process and should not be undertaken lightly.
