Need Help with Reinstalling FrontPage

[Jeff75]

I have a lot of clients who I just moved over from a non-cPanel server who are used to using FrontPage. For some reason the FrontPage extensions are not working on any of the accounts and cPanel is ignoring my tickets about it.

I tried installing FrontPage through the ports collection on my FreeBSD server but for some reason it keeps coming up with this:

lithium# make install
===>  Installing for frontpage-5.0.2.2623_1
===>   Generating temporary packing list
===>  Checking if www/frontpage already installed
===> Untaring FrontPage Extensions to /usr/local
/bin/tar: frontpage/version5.0/apache-fp/_vti_bin/fpexe: Cannot open: File exists
/bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/ports/www/frontpage.

When I try to delete the fpexe file it says "fpexe: Operation not permitted". Does anybody know what I need to do to be able to delete this file? I'm logged in as root but whenever I try to delete, move or change the group of the file it says that the operation is not permitted. It is showing that the file is owned by root and is in the group 10.

Dear Jeff75,

The file probably has ext2 attributes set that prevent it from being deleted.
Use the command lsattr /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/admin-exe/_vti_bin/fpexe to see them, and check the chattr man page for instructions on home to
remove them. The immutable (i) attribute is probably the one you need to remove.

Regarding fp installation you can try the following steps:

1)run gcc fpexe.c

2)copy the a.out to _vti_bin/fpexe.

Because fpexe was built against libraries on RTR\'s machine (the people that ported
Frontpage to Linux) a recompilation might help.

If anyone has this problem on FreeBSD, the fix is:

chflags -R noschg fpexe

 

[laszlof]

I had this problem as well. The chflags command fixed the /scripts/installfpfreebsd error. but not when i try to install frontpage extensions to a site. I get the following error.

Using Frontpage 5.x!
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

No such file or directory



Anyone seen this problem. Thanks

after further investigation, this was in my /var/log/messages
