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. As a general rule the Apache webserver that is bundled with any Unix > platform has had various mods added and tweeked > to the point that the FrontPage Server Extensions will not work > properly.

IS THERE ANYONE who is running FP successfully with 7.1? Bob
