apache and front page

[Lowell Hamilton]

Installing the extentions alone will not get you up and running, you
need to install mod_frontpage.o into your server, or recompile with the
frontpage patches installed.  

Here is a link to the apache 1.3.1x mod_frontpage that mandrake re-did. 
There are a few other mod_frontpage's out there, but mandrake's is the
most usable of the bunch.  Frontpage is kind of a pain to get going
though, but it is possible.  Just read the docs, and search the message
board on http://home.edo.uni-dortmund.de/~chripo.  


tarball: http://home.edo.uni-dortmund.de/~chripo/download.html
or 
rpm:
