Subject: RE: [users@httpd] Apache has FrontPage Server Installation ?

Dear Bill,

Perhaps you are right. However, you have to agree to a certain extent
that FrontPage is really a good starting point for most amateur web
hobbyist. I am one. Frontpage is easy to understand and easy to use. 

More of a concern to me is that security of web servers running
frontpage server extensions. I understand from previous discussions that
Apache by far is one of the most reliable web servers around. 

I would like to know if installing IIS ( which is required if I want to
use FrontPage Server Extensions,FPSE) and subsequently installing FPSE
will affect the security of my server - specifically more susceptible to
hacker attacks ?

Many thanks for your time and attention.

Warmest Regards
David

2 choices (if you want to continue using Apache):

1. Use something other than Fronpage to build your web page
(recommended,
    since Frontpage creates web pages that are standards-broken anyway)
2. Install one of the Frontpage modules to Apache.  There are two that
    I'm aware of, there may be more.  A search on google will be very
    helpful.

The third choice would be abandon Apache and use Microsoft IIS, but I
wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
