What's the current best way to support frontpage publishing? [*] The two main contenders I've found are: - http://www.rtr.com/ - http://sourceforge.net/projects/mirfak Anyone here have a view as to which is better (for your own definition of 'better')? I'm running Apache 1.3 under FreeBSD, and our server farm is proxy based, CGI requests are mod_proxied to a separate backend cluster. At the moment I'm getting RPC returns saying 'There is no web called ""', which isn't very helpful.
Brian, These have to work together.You need to get the frontpage support from rtr.com, and extract it the the (very universal) /usr/local/frontpage.
From there, to make it play nice with apache, you can compile and build
mirfak.Doing it the "pure" rtr way requires patching your httpd source and/or compiling a static module. Bad juju.
Additionally, Mirfak gives you the cool ability to add apache configuration commands per-vhost enabling or disabling the frontpage support, so it's not "out there" for people to mess with in the event a hole is found.
I've got this all running well. -Dan
I'll probably try mirfak tomorrow, but wondered if anyone had any advice they'd be prepared to share. Thanks, Brian.
