Re: question about front page server extensions on freebsd

Also realize, those frontpage extensions are ridiculously unstable, to the point that they are unusable in my experience, they have been phased out by MS, and are no longer being maintained or developed (not even for security purposes). the link here shows that this version was published in 2002, i think that that was actually the most recent version.... the Unix (any unix-ish OS) FP extensions are not something that you should be using if you care about security or stability in the least bit.

If you really wanted to use FP2002 extentions.

It's still available directly from Microsofts site. A quick google and I found it.

Be aware if you need support for frontpage exntions on UNIX (including LINUX). You can't use .htaccess for your own control, FP extentions uses .htaccess and will not work if you edit .htaccess or add directivies to it, as FP will replace the contents of that file.

Convert to php , works a heck of alot better than FTP extentions.

found an answer to this yet. It would seem that MS has pulled support
from frontpage server extensions for UNIX as of June 30, 2006.

is there something else out there that is filling this need?

I'm not sure-- I've been running web servers since 1993, and I have
yet to use or need these FrontPage server extensions myself. Rumor
has it that something called WebDAV, which comes bundled with newer
versions of Apache, might be a suitable replacement.
