FrontPage error

When I enable FrontPage extensions and try to open the site with frontpage, it returns an error. I must open it again to to get in and it returns errors on many operations, I must always do the operation again to have done.

Here is what I found in my error_log when it appens :

[error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Invalid method in request method=open+service%3a5%2e0%2e2%2e2634&service%5fname=

I found something in a forum that is similar (same error for same apache version as DA (1.3.31))

http://www.rtr.com/fp2002disc/_disc2/00000a71.htm

I even did the modification suggested here, recompiled :

cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache
./build clean
./build update
./build apache_mod_ssl
/sbin/service httpd restart

And it still gives me the error. I just can't let my customers use FrontPage this way... someone have an idea ?

Hello,

If you make the change the run ./build apache_mod_ssl, your change will be overwritten by the tar.gz file. What you should do is:

1) make the changes in the file (whatever is in that link)
2) cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/apache_1.3.31
3) make clean; make; make install;
4) restart apache.

Give that a go.

Ok. It works. So the fix would be :

vi /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/apache_1.3.31/src/main/http_request.c

Search for :

&& r->connection && (r->connection->keepalive > 0)) {

and replace by :

&& r->connection && (r->connection->keepalive != -1)) {

Save and quit.

cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/apache_1.3.31
make clean
make
make install
service httpd restart

Would it be better that you add this fix in the DA standard distribution ? I'm I the only one who have customers using FrontPage and having troubles ?

My OS is Fedora 1 and DA 1.22.2 with customapache 1.3.31

Hello,

I've just updated the customapache build script to make the change on the fly.
