I think the last time I tried the "UseCanonicalName On", it added my default domain name to everything in the log, which became troublesome. I read thru the docs, but what is the exact purpose of this directive? > > ServerName test.com > > > Your mileage might vary, but it's supposed to translate everything > (www.test.com, etc) back to "test.com". It does not - I had to add "serveralias" commands to make it work. For example, I would also need a "ServerAlias www.test.com" in addition to the above example for it to work with www. prefixes. Is this not normal operation? Thanks to everyone else who responded - I will be checking out the Mandrake RPM for Frontpage - hopefully that will work!

APache does its thing correctly. Use the Servername Directive in your VirtualHost section: ServerName test.com Your mileage might vary, but it's supposed to translate everything (www.test.com, etc) back to "test.com". You might also want to use the "UseCanonicalName on" directive. FrontPage is a program created by Vermeer Technologies Inc (_vti), aquired by Microsoft, ported by RTR software to run on top of Apache... It seems no-one can/will support it, unless it's on IIS. =( Jean-Michel Dault [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Here's the response I got from M$'s "tech support": > > > Your Operating System Linux-Mandrake 7.1 is not a platform we support. > > Therefore, we am not going to be able to provide support on this issue. > > > > That having been said, I do have a few comments and ideas for you. > > > > 1.

Re: [expert] Frontpage server extensions with LM 7.1
Try here: http://coruscant.netrevolution.com/pub/AES/frontpage/frontpage-linux-4.0-24mdk.i586.rpm This (http://www.advancedextranet.com/) is the home of the advanced extrnet server, which has files for all sorts of cool apache stuff.

Use the Advanced Extranet Server that comes packaged with LM 7.1. Go to: http://www.advancedextranet.com/ and read up on the server.

[expert] Frontpage server extensions with LM 7.1
Hello, Once again, I am putting out the plea for help with getting FrontPage server extensions happening with Mandrake 7.1. I have them working per se, it is that if I access the virtual web by anything other than the exact syntax used for the "server name" entry (like the IP address, or just the http://domain), FP goes to the "default" server instead of the virtual server. APache does its thing correctly. Here's the response I got from M$'s "tech support": > Your Operating System Linux-Mandrake 7.1 is not a platform we support. > Therefore, we am not going to be able to provide support on this issue. > > That having been said, I do have a few comments and ideas for you. > > 1.
