After searching though as much docs as I could get my hands on a colleague suggested I just use webdav instead. THEN after reading up on that the client decides they do not want it anymore. Wasn't a waste though cos now I sort of know how to set it up.
If anyone's stuck with installing Frontpage Extensions on a debian box with apache I suggest u first try out WebDAV (www.webdav.org).

I think I had to hack it a bit - let me know if it doesnt work immediately. mimo David Ross wrote: >Hi All > >I am trying to install FrontPage Extensions support with Apache 1.3.26 >on a Debian Woody box.
