Hi! Here is a step by step description, how i did it. It was on slink, but i think it should work on potato too. - download the fp-extensions from http://www.rtr.com/ - extract the extensions in /usr/local - get the original apache source from http://www.apache.org/ - extract it in /usr/src - patch the apache source: /usr/src/apache-X.Y.Z$ patch < /usr/local/frontpage/versionX.0/apache-fp/fp-patch-apache_X.Y.Z - copy mod_frontpage.c to /usr/src/apache-X.Y.Z/src/modules/extra - add the line 'AddModule modules/extra/mod_frontpage.o' to /usr/src/apache-X.Y.Z/src/Configuration and /usr/src/apache-X.Y.Z/src/Configuration.tmpl - configure apache with: /usr/src/apache-X.Y.Z$ ./configure --enable-module=status \ --enable-module=info --enable-module=log_referer \ --enable-module=log_agent --enable-module=frontpage \ --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/apache/1.3 \ --sysconfdir=/etc/apache --localstatedir=/var/state/apache \ --runtimedir=/var/run --logfiledir=/var/log/apache \ --includedir=/usr/include/apache-1.3 \ --datadir=/var/www --without-confadjust - build and install apache with: /usr/src/apache-X.Y.Z$ make install - i had to put all the content of access.conf and srm.conf into httpd.conf an add the following lines to httpd.conf: ResourceConfig /dev/null AccessConfig /dev/null - link /usr/local/frontpage/currentversion to the current fp-version This works for me and i hope it works for you too, or at least helps you to build a fp-enabled apache server.
