FP2000: Script Aliases Are Added to Wrong Virtual Server (265100)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FrontPage 2000

This article was previously published under Q265100

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft FrontPage 2000, when you use fpsrvadm.exe or fp_install.sh, the script aliases for _vti_bin, _vti_aut, and _vti_adm may be added to the wrong virtual site on an Apache Web server.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because both the NameVirtualHost and BindAddress directives are used. As a result, FrontPage misinterprets the BindAddress directive.

For example:

BindAddress 157.57.138.246
NameVirtualHost 157.57.138.246

<VirtualHost mstest.microsoft.com>
ServerName mstest.microsoft.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/share/htdocs2
</VirtualHost>

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, remove or comment out the BindAddress directive. The server extensions now install to the correct virtual site.

For example:

NameVirtualHost 157.57.138.246

<VirtualHost 157.57.138.246>
ServerName mstest.microsoft.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/share/htdocs2
</VirtualHost>
