Frontpage issues

1) Can't login to Frontpage using Cpanel password ?

If you are not able to login to your frontpage with the same password with which you are able to login to your cpanel then there mAy have problem with the frontpage password configuration to get that sorted out just apply following step.

grep CpanelUsername /etc/shadow

which will show you your cpanel username and the second field with the encrypted password then

cat /home/CpanelUsername/_vti_pvt/service.pwd

you can see that there will be something like

# -FrontPage-
user:selWTwZ..3Wsd

If the second field here do not match with the one in the /etc/shadow then you need to reset your frontpage password. Just take the backup of the file

/home/CpanelUsername/_vti_pvt/service.pwd. and then copy the encrypted password from shadow file to service.pwd.

It should solve your problem. :)

2) Reinstalling frontpage extensions

If you have tried installing frontpage extensions for a domain through WHM and it did not work you can try these commands :

cd /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/bin

1. Uninstall FrontPage Extensions for the domain as -
2. ./owsadm.exe -o fulluninstall -p 80 -m www.domain.com
3. Check for .htaccess in /home/user/public_html/, if found rename it to .htacess.orig
4. Install FrontPage Extensions
./owsadm.exe -o install -u username -xuser username -m www.domain.com -s
/etc/httpd/conf/sites/www.domain.com.conf

3) Error 406 Not Acceptable while uploading from FrontPage

Error:
"406 Not Acceptable
