How to - frontpage and Suexec on FC.

[Franco]

Hi, this is How to do the installation of Frontpage extensions
and how to modify the Suexec to work with Frontpage.
Thanks to Alexander Dalloz for his help.

So first time download frontpage extensions from this link
http://www.rtr.com/fpsupport/fp2002sr1_download.htm
don't forget to download also the installer.

Than follow the istructions to install frontpage extension
to this link: http://www.jnux.net/community/apachefp/install.htm

because suexec have as docroot /var/www you need to change the
installation dir of frontpage to /var/www.
Seen that you need to recompile suexec with patch you can also
change this but is important that the frontpage exec come to
install under a suexec docroot.
Now the control panel of frontpage already work.

Now download httpd sources from fedora site or mirrors
than extract it with this command rpm -ivh packagename.src.rpm
this will be extracted to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

Download the suexec patch here:
http://logreport1.empoweringmedia.com/dlcount.php?id=ossempow&url=/dl/?dlfile=apache2-suexec-fp.patch
i have changed some lines because gave me some errors.
This is the lines changed:

"DOCUMENT_PATH_INFO=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin",
"DOCUMENT_ROOT=/",

(if someone correct this will be the best)
and the path of _vti_bin that now is so 
/var/www/frontpage/version5.0/apache-fp/_vti_bin
now put this patch in the SOURCES dir.

Now cd ../SPECS and edit httpd.specs where you have suexec filds
change it to the name of your suexec patch save it but first change
the release of the file search release in the file.

Now we can compile the httpd with this command rpmbuild -ba httpd.spec
when you start the compilation it will tell you that some dependencies
needs, install it use yum install packages.

That restart the compilation at the end you will have some .rpm files
into /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 install it with rpm -Uhv .*rpm
re-chmod 755 /var/log/httpd and all should have work fine.

Sorry for my english and tell me if work.
Bye.
