Extremely Odd Issue.
|
|
|
| We're using "Frontpage Extensions" Version 5.0 (2002? 2003?) on FreeBSD
4.X-Release. Currently we're having an issue with anyone trying to connect
or publish to the webserver.
They connect, and it asks them to log into thier realm... for the sake of
example, and the happiness of those who write RFC's lets call that
"www.example.com:". They enter their username, and password, which is
accepted (at least according to the server logs for thier virtualhost),
after which they are asked to log into the realm ":"... none of the
usernames or passwords work for that realm. Any ideas?

| In the document root for the web in question, check in the
_vti_pvt/access.cnf file and see if RealmName has been defined.

It is defined, thats the thing that gets me, is that the RealmName is
defined, but it still asks for : after you login to your Realm...
Is there some master file this thing looks at after logging into the
realm where RealmName may also have to be defined?

| Brent,
Check authname in the .htaccess files in documentroot,
documentroot/_vti_bin, documentroot/_vti_bin/_vti_aut, and
documentroot/_vti_bin/_vti_adm. Also check the access.cnf file and
the postinfo.html file for realmname and baseurl conflicts.
Also make sure the virtual host directive has the AllowOverRide All
set for the documentroot of the particular web in question.
<virtualhost www.example.com>
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
Documentroot /web/example/content
ServerName www.example.com
ErrorLog /web/example/logs/error_log
TransferLog /web/example/logs/access_log
<Directory /web/example/content>
AllowOverRide All
</Directory>
</Virtualhost>

Your mention of baseurl triggered it... while .htaccess files were proper I
remember
making a change to the server to set UseCanonicalName Off... before it was
on...
Changed it back to ON and frontpage works again. Why frontpage cares about
canonical name I haven't a clue, but this was the apparent solution.
Thanks for your help.
