Front Page Support section?

[bummerinc]

Hi Guys,

We are setting up one of our servers, but cannot get the "Front Page Support" section to show up under the "Domains/Setup".

Does anyone know where we go to enable this, so it will show up on the "Setup"?

Thanks,
Kent

FrontPage support isn't included in 8.x (unless, I think, you are doing an upgrade from a 7.x installation which already had it).

There's a big thread on this elsewhere. Basically MS stopped supporting it many years ago, and the decision was made not to include it in 8.x since it is potentially insecure etc.

Don't panic though. If you really need it you can install it manually if you want, though it is a risk. Search for frontpage and look for the thread with the highest number of posts/pages/reads and you'll probably have found the right one. I think somewhere in there are instructions on how to get it installed if you really want it - at least under certain distributions anyway.
