frontpage security violation

[i2iweb]

I have a user that's getting the following error message when trying to publish a site via frontpage "frontpage security violation".

They can publish to the site fine by using the following: http://server_ip_address/~username

Anyone know what may be wrong?

I am using freebsd 4.9

Are they getting the error when they are trying to publish under their domain name ?

Yes they are...

Hello,

Make sure they're using www in front of the domain name while publishing. Also check the apache/frontpage logs:

/var/log/httpd/error_log
/var/log/httpd/domains/domain.com.error.log
/var/log/httpd/fpexec_log

Make sure you're using DA 1.21.3. Try chowning the public_html to username:username (if the group is "apache")

I am using DA 1.21.3 with Freebsd 4.9 and here is what the logs show. Don't know if the log info below have any useful information but here these are the only things that stick out. (The actual domain name has been "domain.com" and userid has been replaced by "userid").


less domain.error.log

FrontPage SUID Error: invalid environment arguments


less /var/log/httpd/fpexec_log

FrontPage SUID Error: invalid environment arguments


ls -l public_html

lrwxr-xr-x 1 userid userid 30 May 6 21:25 public_html -> ./domains/domain.com/public_html

That may be an old error that just requires updating. You'd need to clear out all of the customapache files and redownload them:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/
rm -rf *
wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/customapache/build
chmod 755 build
./build update
./build allIf it's a newer server (last few months).. then it might be something else...
