I already cleaned, installed FP extensions.

This also did not fix it

find /home -name "service.pwd" -exec chmod -v 600 {} ';'

Remove and reinstall frontpage

Most if not all of FP problems can be corrected by removing and reinstalling FrontPage, HOWEVER, most of the problems are with the FP scripts which uninstalling does not remove.
What to do..
uninstall frontpage
open file manager and delete all of the _vti_* folders including their content
goto the .htaccess file and delete all FP content
install frontpage
All should be OK now
