Unable to Log in with FrontPage Client

[mromer]

Another newbie question:

I've got ISPConfig installed on a Fedora Core 4 system, with FrontPage 2002 server extensions in place. I used ISPConfig to enable Frontpage extensions, then created a site with only FrontPage checked (FTP, shell access, etc. all unchecked). When I tried to use FrontPage to log into the site, I got a login prompt, but nothing I put in was accepted. I tried a user I had created to administer the site and the login for the client. Setting a FrontPage password in the site admin page did not seem to make any difference.

/var/log/httpd/access_log shows this on my login attempts:
192.168.1.27 - - [21/Dec/2005:11:48:06 -0600] "POST /_vti_bin/_vti_aut/author.exe HTTP/1.1" 401 1190 "-" "MSFrontPage/5.0"

No entries in /var/log/httpd/error_log

Any suggestions on how I can troubleshoot this? Thanks.

The Frontpage username is admin, the password is the one you specified in ISPConfig.

Thanks! That did it.

Was that in the documentation? I missed it.

Hello there, I wasnt aware that you can install FP 2002 on Fedora Core 4 , by RPMs or did you just recompile everything from source? I do prefer to use RPM, to upgrade php and other stuff later.

[QUOTE=mromer]Another newbie question:

Is because of an buffer overflow with apache.
To resolve this issue edit
/usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/apache2/mod_fpcgid.c, line 1069
and change:

char szBuf[10];
to
char szBuf[12];

Then rerun apxs2 and recreate mod_frontpage.so

${httpd_root}/usr/sbin/apxs2 -c mod_frontpage.c mod_fpcgid.c
${httpd_root}/usr/sbin/apxs2 -i -a -n frontpage ./mod_frontpage.la
