FP1: No Multi-Homing with FrontPage Server Extensions for Netscape

ID: Q153910

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FrontPage for Windows 1.1

SYMPTOMS

When you install FrontPage Server Extensions for Netscape Communications or Netscape Commerce Servers, multi-homing will be disabled. If you re-enable multi-homing, FrontPage may not function correctly.

CAUSE

Netscape implemented multi-homing in a unique way that does not support many of the functions of other servers. Specifically, there is no way to tell under what host a CGI program was called.

STATUS

FrontPage supports only multi-daemon multi-hosting on Netscape Commerce and Netscape Communications servers for UNIX. FrontPage does not support multi- homing on Netscape Commerce and Netscape Communications servers on Windows NT. FrontPage 97 and FrontPage 98 server extensions support single-daemon multi- homing on Netscape Enterprise and FastTrack servers on either Windows NT or UNIX.
