Author trying to install frontpage extensions

While trying to install the frontpage extensions on Apache I
got:

Hunk #7 FAILED at 1251.

When I issued the command:

patch -p0 < ../mod_frontpage-1.5.1-1.3.17/patch-1.5.1-1.3.17

Here is the detail of the file:

basis:/usr/src/apache_1.3.29 # more configure.rej

eval "val=\"\$$var\"";
val=`echo $val | sed -e 's:\(.\)/*$:\1:'`
eval "$var=\"$val\""

+ fpexec_logexec fpexec_fpdir ; do
eval "val=\"\$$var\"";
val=`echo $val | sed -e 's:\(.\)/*$:\1:'`
eval "$var=\"$val\""

My patch program is up to date:

# patch --version
patch 2.5.4

This is what I am running:
Welcome to SuSE Linux 8.0 (i386) - Kernel 2.4.18-4GB (0).

Ideas? Thanks!
Vince

the patch is probably for an older version of apache and doesn't fit
out of the box for 1.3.29. it needs to be adapted slightly. ask
whoever supplied the patch to update it or try yourself.

hint: lines 1112-1118 in the configure script now read as follows:

for var in prefix exec_prefix bindir sbindir libexecdir mandir \
sysconfdir datadir iconsdir htdocsdir manualdir cgidir \
includedir localstatedir runtimedir logfiledir \
proxycachedir suexec_docroot suexec_logexec ; do
eval "val=\"\$$var\"";
val=`echo $val | sed -e 's:\(.\)/*$:\1:'`
eval "$var=\"$val\""

so you probably want

- proxycachedir suexec_docroot suexec_logexec ; do
+ proxycachedir suexec_docroot suexec_logexec \
+ fpexec_docroot fpexec_logexec fpexec_fpdir ; do

or so...

also the fp-patch for apache is quite a problem from a security point
of view (who would have thought sth else about software designed by
mickeysoft?). read

for some info on the security impact.

Wouldn't you agree, though, that these concerns are abated with the
newer DSO approach?

From time-to-time we create sites for clients (although that's
strictly as a quality component). I wish that I had the skills to
eliminate FP entirely. For that matter, I wish that someone would
develop a decent Linux WYSIWYG product. Until then, I need to get
sites up quickly, usually to Apache.
