I have several accounts on my server using frontpage extensions and installation is always complete within a few seconds. I have just started allowing new users to create a subdomain off of my giftswithtlc.com domain when they signup for a new account, if they do not own a domain name of their own. For example, I created a new account with the username as travis and the domain name as travis.giftswithtlc.com (an example 3 level deep domain).
One of my clients pointed out that they were not able to install frontpage extensions if the domain is 3 levels deep. I tried to install frontpage on my travis.giftswithtlc.com and indeed, 10 minutes later the install was still running, and did not appear as if it would complete. I killed the process with a kill -9, then went to the command line and entered the exact same command that DirectAdmin tried to run when installing the frontpage extensions. Here is the complete command:
/usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/bin/owsadm.exe -o install -u travis -p 80 -m www.travis.giftswithtlc.com -servconf /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/travis/httpd.conf -pw bogus -xuser travis -xgroup travis
I allowed this command to run for over 25 minutes and it never went past the "Starting install, port: 80." I then tried to install the frontpage extension on a 2 level deep domain (blue-haven-pools.com) and it worked perfectly fine.
Has anyone had troubles installing the frontpage extensions on a three level deep domain name? Did you find a cause for why this does not work?
I did notice that the install did do somethings, like delete all .htaccess files and add the following directory to the public_html folder:
ls -al _vti_pvt
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 travis travis 4096 Sep 26 15:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 travis travis 4096 Sep 26 15:06 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 travis travis 0 Sep 26 15:34 frontpg.lck
