Error while publishing with Frontpage Page
Hello, When you get the error while publshing via frontpage hosting check following things.
User’s are getting errors showing Frontpage isn’t installed on their domain hosting, when everything is correct. Or, when you try to install, it says it can’t find the site “” (blank). Cpanel apparently changed the layout of how Frontpage reads the user’s sites.
Check that their domain file(s) in the (new) /usr/local/apache/conf/sites directory are set properly. You can change it to be read by the nobody group, or whatever, but it’s easiest to just chmod 644 /usr/local/apache/conf/sites/*theirdomain.com* or whatever. I did this with the wild card because there are sub domains they might have FP on, as well as the www.domain.com and domain.com addresses are separate files as well. (basically, “nobody” or “world” needs read access.
Don’t set these to be modified by nobody/world, just read.
Also, it should be owned by root for read/write, not the user and not nobody.
root:root is fine, root:user or root:nobody, but should be chmod 644 anyway.
Also, check to ensure that their /usr/local/frontpage/*domain.com* files are set to chmod 644.
I don’t think these need to be set to root:user or user:user to work.
Finally, be sure that the /usr/local/frontpage/*domain* files aren’t set to chmod 0 & chattr +i, because if they are, then their Frontpage access was disabled due to overloading a web hosting server (though you should see this in a forum post, so you can always check that no one posted about their FP being disabled). If you see those permissions and file attributes, don’t just enabling it without knowing it’s okay to (goes without saying).
