Now after you have mod_frontpage an fpexec installed you will want to make sure that you have the FrontPage extensions installed.

1. Download the tarball file from Microsoft's site:
   
   ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/products/frontpage/fp40.<os>.tar.z ^[3]
   
   
2. Download the install script from their website as well:
   
   ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/products/frontpage/fp_install.sh
   
   
3. Run the fp_install.sh script. You will be prompted with several questions including where you would like to install the extensions and where programs like zcat are (which is usually /bin/zcat). Here are some questions the script may ask you and the answers I usually use:

   - Are you satisfied with your backup of the system (y/n) [N]?  y
   - FrontPage Extensions directory [/usr/local/frontpage/]: /usr/local/frontpage
   - Where is the zcat which can uncompress gz files? /bin/zcat
   - Do you want to install a root web (y/n) [Y]? y
   - Server config filename:  /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
   - FrontPage Administrator's user name:  fpadmin
   - Enter the new servers port number: 80
   - Unix user name of the owner of this new web:[nobody]  nobody
   - Unix group of this new web:[nobody] nobody
   - What type of Server is this: 3                   (This is apache-fp)
   - Password for user "fpadmin":                     (it will prompt you twice.)
   - Which local character encoding does your system support: [1] 1
   - What should the default language be: [1] 1
   - Install new sub/per-user webs now (y/n) [Y]? n      [4]
   - Install virtual webs now (y/n) [Y]? n               [5]
   

   Note that it might not ask you every question shown above because the script tries to detect certain settings. Also, if you have multiple virtual host containers setup in your httpd.conf file, it may prompt you for which host to use. You will want to use the main server name.

4. Now you will need to tweak some settings that the fp_install.sh script might not have got right.
   • The fp_install.sh script doesn't always install the _vti_bin binaries in the root web or sub webs. You will want to copy the stub executable file from /usr/local/frontpage/version4.0/srcs/fpstub.exe to the proper locations in the root or sub web's _vti_bin directory.
   • The fp_install.sh script is supposed to add some ScriptAlias directives to your Apache httpd.conf file to allow the programs in _vti_bin to run correctly. If they weren't added, put something like the following in the global section of your httpd.conf file:

     ScriptAlias /_vti_bin/_vti_adm/ <docroot>/_vti_bin/_vti_adm/ 
     ScriptAlias /_vti_bin/_vti_aut/ <docroot>/_vti_bin/_vti_aut/ 
     ScriptAlias /_vti_bin/ <docroot>/_vti_bin/
     

     where <docroot> is the document root of the server.
