Re: Frontpage extensions under Apache 1.3.4

This is a problem that I encountered as well.  The solution to this was to
create a whole new tree of config files which the http server did not actually
use.  The advantage was that the http server can do things better without all
the cruft Frontpage adds, and Frontpage was happy because it could modify the
config files, and they didn't bother the webserver.

So, just create a dummy tree of config files with the information Frontpage wants,
and make it run against that.  I believe that the /usr/local/frontpage/<domain>:<port>
file contained the path to the config files.  I just made a custom script
for installing Frontpage, which created the dummy files.
