[root@intsrvc borozd]# cd /data/frontpage/
[root@intsrvc frontpage]# ls
eski fp40.linux fp40.linux.tar.Z fp50.linux.tar.Z httpd.conf
[root@intsrvc frontpage]# cd fp

[root@intsrvc frontpage]# cd fp40.linux
[root@intsrvc version4.0]# ./fp_install.sh
Step 1. Setting Up Installation Environment
Setting umask 002
Logged in as root.
fp_install.sh
Revision: 1.1

This script will step the user through upgrading existing and installing
new servers and webs. As with any software installation, a backup should be
done before continuing. It is recommended that the FrontPage installation
directory, server configuration file directory, and all web content be
backed up before continuing with this installation.
Are you satisfied with your backup of the system (y/n) [N]? y
Directory /usr/local exists.
Root has necessary access to /usr/local.
Where would you like to install the FrontPage Extensions. If you
select a location other than /usr/local/frontpage/ then a symbolic
link will be created from /usr/local/frontpage/ to the location that
is chosen.
Step 2. Untarring the Extensions and Checking Protections
Version 4.0 FrontPage Server Extensions not found.
Looking for tar file...
Platform is linux.
Cannot find the FrontPage Extensions tar file in /data/frontpage/fp40.linux/frontpage/version4.0/.
Which directory is the file located in (X to cancel)? /data/frontpage/fp40.linux.tar
Uncompressing/Untarring file /data/frontpage/fp40.linux.tar.Z into /usr/local...
tar: frontpage/version4.0/bin/fpsrvadm.exe: Wrote only 9728 of 10240 bytes
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: frontpage/version4.0/nls/cp_932.nls: Wrote only 1536 of 10240 bytes
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
echo Step 3. Upgrading/Installing the extensions
Checking for existing web servers to upgrade...
No existing web servers found to upgrade.
Note: If you have not installed the root web then you need to do it now.
Do you want to install a root web (y/n) [Y]? y
Installing the root web...
Server config filename: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
FrontPage Administrator's user name: fpadmin
Enter the new servers port number: 80
Unix user name of the owner of this new web:[apache]
Unix group of this new web:[apache]
1. ncsa
2. apache
3. apache-fp
4. netscape-fasttrack
5. netscape-enterprise
6. stronghold
What type of Server is this: 2
Installing root web into port 80...
installing server / on port 80
Will chown web to apache as part of install.
Will chgrp web to apache as part of install.

Ok...what is on line 1761 of that shell script? Have you contacted RedHat support (you are paying for it with RedHat enterprise), to see what they can tell you??
Also, this is Microsoft software that's segfauting, too...have you contacted THEM???
Ok , will the Redhat give support to this frontpage extensions installation and the problem? And about the owner of the script , Microsoft, when i look at the sites of the Microsoft about frontpage extensions installation on apache (the download link doesnt provide the file anymore found), so i use the text provided there for installing the extensions. But at most places i see that its said to be Microsoft doesnt give support for f.e. for apache anymore.
Here is the scripts part which gave error
installserver()
{ (this is the 1761'th line which notepadd ++ says its to be, and mentioned in the error of installation)
retval=0

Chances are RedHat won't give you support on Frontpage (why would they, it's not their software), but may be able to give you pointers with Apache.
If Microsoft doesn't support it any longer, then you're either going to have to support it yourself, or you need to move away from Frontpage, and Microsoft in general (a good idea regardless).
intranet is published on that system , im making a backup of that machine. I have made some disk space on the directory / cause it seem to be full and now gives diffrent errors. So another but simplier question
How can i find out if the forntapge extensions on the system is installed and working successfully.

Pull up a web page that uses them...if it looks right, it's working.
And again...Frontpage is EOL. The best thing to do would be to REWRITE your pages, WITHOUT frontpage.
Im not responsible for the web side so cant choose not to not to use the frontpage non IT personal is also using this and the frontpage software to create and publish content.
I have moved on running the install script by troubleshooting some errors and im on this now looking
Using FrontPage Configuration File: /usr/local/frontpage/we80.cnf
Getting DocumentRoot and UserDir.
Directive ResourceConfig not found.
Getting DocumentRoot from /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf.
Getting UserDir from /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf.
ERROR: does not exist!
ERROR: Unable to get DocumentRoot/UserDir
Exiting due to an error! Please fix the error and try again.
And after adding Resourceconfig /dev/null at httpd.conf , saw somewhere i got to this point
Found Directive ResourceConfig, value /dev/null.
Getting DocumentRoot from /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.
Getting UserDir from /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.

ERROR: Unable to get DocumentRoot/UserDir
The folder "/data/apache/intranet/docs-Intranet" is existing but getting this error. I moved the folder some other place and used mkdir to create again but it still gives error . For not to make any typing mistake i copied the path from the error
And last it seems to be installed (i hope so) but dont know how to manage . The recent one which is on production is using 80 8091 ports to the management sites
