however, that mod_frontpage add FrontPage Server Extensions capabilities onto a UNIX platform...
It was not made for the Win32 platform
🙁
Is this a test machine? As a server I would not think Win98 would be the appropriate OS...
If you were using Win2k, the server extensions can be added to the server during setup. As that is one of its purposes, acting as a webserver, then you are adding the Front page extensions functionality to that server.
The aforementioned Mod allows Apache server running on Unix to allow people who create, upload and then serve out pages from a UNIX machine to be able to spoof the Front Page support (at least that would be my guess at their intention.)
Anyway, if you read the readme included in the .tar.gz you can see that they are talking about these files to be used with UNIX.
sorry...
As far as using Front page extensions on your machine, I would think a) upgrade to Win2k and b) if that's the case...why use Apache then?
