i found solution for frontpage and 8.1

[galaxy]

OK, didn't take the attachment.
I tried putting them in a zip file and it still didn't take. So here's the other one (diff for mod_frontpage.c):

[crash]

awesome, thanks a lot. I am going to try this out sometime this week.

 

[crash]

I recently created a Frontpage RPM for Plesk 8.2.1 and Centos 5.0 ( Apache 2.2 ). Many thanks go to Galaxy for get me started with the patches.

Here I will outline the steps for others who wish to create their own Frontpage RPM for Centos 5, or any other recent RPM based Linux distro.

You will need the Frontpage files provided in frontpage-5.0-72psa.centos4.2.
I am sure there are other ways to get a hold of the frontpage source files, but downloading them directly from Microsoft is not one of them. The patches I created are known to work with the Frontpage files from the frontpage-5.0-72psa.centos4.2 RPM.

The files needed from this RPM are all located in /usr/local/frontpage

Assuming you have a copy of the /usr/local/frontpage files, create an archive of the files like so:

Note: The frontpage-5.0-72psa.centos4.2 RPM provides the original source files for mod_fpcgid.c (mod_fpcgid.c.orig) and mod_frontpage.c (mod_frontpage.c.orig). The RPM spec file will expect to find the .orig versions of these two files. If they do not exist in your /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/apache2 directory then you may need to create them by copying the original mod_fpcgid.c and mod_frontpage.c to mod_fpcgid.c.orig and mod_frontpage.c.orig before creating the below archive.

mkdir frontpage-5.0
cp -a /usr/local/frontpage ./frontpage-5.0
tar -czf frontpage-5.0.tgz ./frontpage-5.0

Once you have your frontpage-5.0.tgz file, copy it to the /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES directory on the server you wish to create the RPM on.

Note: if /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES does not exist, make sure you have the
rpm-build package installed.

Download the frontpage-ce5-spec+patches.tgz file ( frontpage-ce5-spec+patches.tgz) and copy it to /usr/src/redhat

extract frontpage-ce5-spec+patches.tgz

tar -xzvf frontpage-ce5-spec+patches.tgz

That file will extract the frontpage.spec to the SPECS directory and 2 patches to SOURCES directory.

once all your files are in place, it is just a matter of building the RPM:

cd /usr/src/redhat
rpmbuild -bb SPECS/frontpage.spec

The RPM will be located at:
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/frontpage-5.0-72psa.be.4.centos5.0.i386.rpm

Install this RPM, restart apache and you should then be able to useFrontpage with Plesk 8.1+

Edit: Attachments still not working, Here is a URL for frontpage-ce5-spec+patches.tgz
frontpage-ce5-spec+patches.tgz

[lpittman]

By the way - I am attempting this on a CentOS 5.0 box with all updates (include ARTs) and a 1-domain test license of Plesk 8.2.1.

I had to install 'yum install rpm-build' as well as create a symlink to apxs in '/usr/sbin/' as it was not in there, but in '/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/apxs'.

Alright I decided to try this on another box which is running CentOS 4.5 and received similar, but different errors:

Looking at your post above, remove that link to axps, and install the httpd-devel package (this is what contains axps). No guarantee that this will fix it, but that is definitely the wrong axps.

Also for future developers, there is nothing in the /usr/local/psa tree you will ever use in reference to building.

 

[lpittman]

Thank you so much Scott - that was exactly the problem.

I have successfully create a Frontpage CentOS 5.0/Plesk 8.2.1 RPM.

Now I am getting a File Not Found error when trying to load up the FP Admin:

http://mydomain.com/_vti_bin/_vti_adm/fpadmcgi.exe?page=webadmin.htm

I'll continue my quest.

Thanks again.

Luke

 

[atomicturtle]

Path problem somewhere maybe? Id double check to make sure there arent any hard coded ones in the source code.

 

[lpittman]

Perhaps, yes ... I'm trying to find out where the paths would be. This is certainly over my comfort level.

Luke

 

[atomicturtle]

grep through the source for anything like "path", or "/usr/local"

 

[lpittman]

Thanks ... I'll check that now - but I don't think that is the problem.

When I turn FP off I get a "404 File Not Found" error, but when I turn FP on I get a "403 Forbidden" error.

Is it safe to assume that the site is finding the file but just does not have access to it?

If so - how do I go about checking the access to the file?

I've compared all the directory permissions/owners/groups in the /usr/local/frontpage/* directories to that of my old server (FP was working on it) and have set them all exactly the same.

Hrmm ...

Luke

 

[atomicturtle]

THat sounds like maybe its something in the authentication part. Anything useful in the error logs?

 

[lpittman]

Actually, yes ... I looked before but forgot about it. Long day.

[Sat Nov 24 17:56:59 2007] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] attempt to invoke directory as script: /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0H\x0f\xc9\xbf2523, referer: [url]http://www.mydomain.com/contact.htm[/url]

Any thoughts on this?

Luke

 

[atomicturtle]

Path problem, my guess is that this app needs the path to a binary, and right now it just has a path to a directory in that field.

 

[lpittman]

Funny thing is it was working just fine on the CentOS 4.5/Plesk 8.2.1 box. Or are you referring to FP needing a path to the executable?

Any chance I can just hire you to diagnose/fix this? =\

Luke

 

[atomicturtle]

Yeah, shoot me an IM or email me.

 

[crash]

I was receiving similar path related errors on sites that were migrated from a Centos 4.x plesk server.

The fix for me was to disable frontpage for the site, ( backup, then..) delete all the _vti_* directories from the sites httpdocs directory, then Re-enable Frontpage for the site.


Make sure to backup the _vti_* directories first in case removing the extensions some how breaks the site.

 

[lpittman]

I have tried that multiple times with no luck. I have also simply tried creating a whole new domain with FP extensions and the admin link in Plesk wouldn't work then either.

I am at a loss here...

I've contacted Scott and will have him take a look around.

Luke

 

[ACID25]

Hi

can anyone tell where i can find or downlaod the frontpage-5.0-72psa.centos4.2.rpm file?

there´s no file like that on swsoft servers.

THX and regards
