| Hello there, hope you can help me with this
Because of one client, we installed the frontpage
extensions, fp40.linux.tar.z, on one server that we use
as a test web server.
When installing i specified the location of httpd.conf,
and created a root web in the docroot of apache. Then put
the html files there. After, i created a user using
fpsrvadm.exe in the linux cli, with something like
fpsrvadm.exe -o security -a authors -u username -pw
password
and that was ok. I checked the .htaccess files, and the
service.pwd and service.grp files and seemed ok.
I restarted the web server also.
Our client has the production web server (it is a unix, i
remember it is solaris), and they also have the frontpage
extensions installed there. They are trying to upload the
files from our test web server to their production web
server.
The procedure is:
- using frontpage on a pc, they open a web, specifying
http://123.456.789.123 (our test server ip), write
username and password and thats ok, they can see the
files in the test server.
- they try to do a publish to their production web
server, they write their ip address, their user and
passwd, BUT then the proccess seems to hang. The message
that appears in the window is "Listing pages in
http://123.456.789.123" (yes, our test server ip
address). And it just stays there, no publish.
I saw one related message in a forum that says that the
first time it lasts about 15 minutes to read files, and
the second time and on it is much faster. But i waited
longer and no change (i increased temporarily the apache
timeout variable to 20 minutes, and waited to the
publish, but nothing).
I know the pc frontpage client is accessing the test
server because it can open the site, requesting username
and password, and a logline in the access_log of apache:
123.456.789.30 - username [17/Feb/2004:21:13:40 -
0600] "POST /_vti_bin/_vti_aut/author.exe HTTP/1.1" 200
61397
When trying to read the files of the site a logline like
this appears in error_log (thats why i tried to increase
timeout):
[Tue Feb 17 21:33:41 2004] [error] [client
123.456.789.30] (70007)The timeout specified has expired:
ap_content_length_filter: apr_bucket_read() failed
The idea is that in the test web server the frontpage
user can read the files and upload them to the production
web server, using frontpage client on a separate pc.
So, i am running out of ideas to solve this problem, i
will keep thinking about it, but I ask for your help to
solve this please, what could be wrong? is it a
configuration thing in our test server? its the first
time i deal with this frontpage extensions, and i am
reading the documentation, but i certainly could use some
of your experience...
Thank you very much
Alfredo
