Need to hide/remove FrontPage as an option

Is there any way to either remove FrontPage entirely from Web Host Manager or, at the very least, hide access to it so that FrontPage can never be enabled by any reseller?

Thanks,
Greg

P.S. I have searched this forum and the web for info on this but could not find anything. Maybe I'm search engine challenged. :-(

 

Rebuild of Apache doesn't work...

In the Update Apache dialog, it says "Dynamic modules that were previously compiled into apache will not be removed." So, that doesn't remove FrontPage. Also, I'm not sure to what you are referring with "Or there' an option on left mid-way down the allows you to 'disable' it." There wasn't an option like this in the Apache Update dialog and I can't find it anywhere.

Ideally, I would like FrontPage entirely off the system. Failing that, I really need for there to be absolutely no reference to FrontPage anywhere, i.e., no buttons, icons, nothing that would indicate that FrontPage is any kind of an option.

 

Looked at httpd.conf

Thanks for the tips.

However, after having unchecked the FrontPage option in Update Apache and recompiling it, it appears that the process inserted the "#" in the httpd.conf file, as follows:

#AddModule mod_frontpage.c

That was the only reference to FrontPage in the entire file. My problem is that the Front Page options, icons, etc., still show up in Web Host Manager and CPanel.

I really need to get rid of these.

My goal is that there is no reference to FrontPage anywhere in WHM or CP.

Your help is much appreciated.

P.S. You would think that, since CPanel makes it clear in their documentation that they do not recommend the use of FrontPage, they would make it easy to eliminate this malware.

 

You guys have been great!

I really appreciate all of the help. Having just finished a college assignment, I am going to bed.

In the morning, when my brain is a bit more clear, I'll check out your recommendations.

This flu really hit me this time. <sigh>

I cannot wait until June!

 

No luck...

Sorry this took so long but between work and school there was just not enough time.

In any event, removing the frontpage entry from the file removed it from the list in the default package template but the option still shows up if you select Add Packages. Something else that was interesting was that the option in the Create a New Package screen spells this option like this: "Frontpage Extentions" instead of "Frontpage Extensions".

Anyway, this is very frustrating but I must go to the well again. Any help will be appreciated.

UPDATE: After trying everything that has been recommended so far, FrontPage still appears in all of the usual places. Anyone that can show me how to block FrontPage from showing anywhere in WHM will truly be my hero. ...thanks...

 

Update

After getting a little rest (not too much, though) I was able to take a look around to see what effect the changes, thusfar, have had.

Well, removing FrontPage from /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/features did, in fact, remove the FrontPage icon from CPanel. I guess I need to find the corresponding file related to WHM in order to get the icon out of there.

If anyone gets an epiphany with regard to this problem, please don't hesitate in sharing.

I have to admit, I am more than a bit surprised that no one has ever wanted to remove an icon from both WHM and CPanel. If I could just create a Reseller account that didn't show the FrontPage icon in WHM and CPanel, that would be a solution. I would simply make myself a reseller below root then just use that login to avoid the FrontPage stuff.

Oh well. I'm not holding my breath while waiting for an answer but do hope one is forthcoming, eventually. Meanwhile, with each new day, I learn more and more about this product.
