Actually, it was VERY SLOW and also a memory hog.<BR /><BR />Its installation should be done with real care, as of my days it would set a number of files to run with root permissions. Probably you'll have to run it chrooted for increased security, which implies that you'll have to run a development server and a production server.<BR /><BR />Sure, you get a nifty MS interface in your Windows client to manage your web server, but I don't think it's worth all the work for have a sane environment.<BR /><BR />Just my .02<BR /><BR />Paulo Fessel Thu, 28 Aug 2003 20:57:03 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/frontpage-extension-on-apache-2-0/m-p/3059311#M6401 Paulo A G Fessel 2003-08-28T20:57:03Z
