Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions
SUMMARY
This article provides an example of how to install the FrontPage 2000 Server
Extensions to the Netscape Enterprise Server. It is intended to be an example
for you to follow. You may have customized settings and permissions that are
different than the examples provided.
MORE INFORMATION
The steps listed in this article are appropriate for installing to a Netscape
Enterprise Server that has never had the server extensions and for upgrading
from FrontPage 98 to FrontPage 2000.
The first step is to download the Server Extensions from:
http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/frontpage/wpp
You need to download two files for the install, FP40.platform.tar.Z and
Fp_install.sh installation script.
After you download the files, copy them to /usr/local. Make sure the file is in
the format FP40.platform.tar.Z. Sometimes, downloading the file can
cause it to be renamed incorrectly to FP40_platform_tar.Z. If this occurs, rename the file to its original name. For instance, mv
fp40_solaris_tar.Z fp40.solaris.tar.Z
Before going further, you need to gather some information and prepare for the
install.
- Determine the user and group that will own the content area of
the Web site. You will be asked for this information during the install.
For the sample install, a new user and group were created.
Example:
User - webuser
Group - webgroup
- Determine the location of your Magnus.conf file for your Web server.
You will be asked for its location when installing the server extensions.
Example:
/usr/netscape/suitespot/https-server/config/magnus.conf
Now that you have all of the information, you are ready to install the Server
Extensions. You can now run the fp_install.sh installation script, which will
install the Server Extensions. Make sure your permissions are adequate to run
the script and that you are logged in as root.
Running FP_Install.sh
- Run ./fp_install.sh.
- Are you satisfied with your backup of the system (y/n): choose y
- FrontPage extensions directory [/usr/local/frontpage]: press Enter to accept the default.
- Do you want to install a root web (y/n): choose y
- Server config filename:
/usr/netscape/suitespot/https-server/config/magnus.conf
This is the
configuration file Magnus.conf for your virtual server. Your location of the
Magnus.conf may be different than the example.
- FrontPage Administrator's user name: testuser
This is a non-UNIX account
that will be used by FrontPage to open the Web site.
- UNIX user name of the owner of this new web:[] webuser

- UNIX group of this new web:[] webgroup

the content area of the FrontPage Web.

subwebs or per-user Webs, you can do so now. This can also be done after the
installation is complete with the FrontPage Client or the Fpsrvadm.exe
utility.
- Do you want to install Virtual Webs (y/n): choose n
If you have configured other
virtual servers, you can install the FrontPage Server Extensions to these
virtual servers now. This can also be done after the installation is
