To prevent the server extensions from using any secondary 50configuration files (access.conf, srm.conf), add the following lines to http.conf:</p> 51 52 53</font> 54<blockquote> 55 <font face="Courier New"> 56ResourceConfig /dev/null <br> 57AccessConfig /dev/null</font> 58</blockquote> 59<font face="Verdana"> 60 61 62<p>If you have some settings stored in secondary configuration files, move them to http.conf.</p> 63 64<p>You must stop and restart the web server for your changes to http.conf to take effect.</p> 65 66 67 68<p align="right"><font size="1"><a href="#relnotes">Top of Section</a></font></p> 69 70 71 72<h3><a name="upgrading">Upgrading from previous version of FrontPage Server Extensions</a></h3> 73 74<p>Custom entries in frontpage.cnf are not migrated to FrontPage 2000.</p> 75 76<p>When you install FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions, a new frontpage.cnf file is created in the /usr/local/frontpage/version4.0 directory. 77Any custom settings stored in a previous-version frontpage.cnf are not used. However, you can copy 78your custom settings from the previous-version frontpage.cnf file after you install the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions.</p> 79 80<p>Do not overwrite the FrontPage 2000 frontpage.cnf file with a frontpage.cnf file from an 81earlier version of the FrontPage Server Extensions.</p> 82 83 84 85<p align="right"><font size="1"><a href="#relnotes">Top of Section</a></font></p> 86 87 88 89<h3><a name="executables">Uploading files into executable folders</a></h3> 90 91 92<p>After upgrading to FrontPage 2000, FrontPage authors will not be able to upload files into 93executable folders. For security reasons, the default setting on FrontPage 2000 webs does not 94allow authors to upload executable files into executable folders in a FrontPage web. This 95setting protects servers so that authors do not inadvertently upload a program containing a bug 96or a virus.</p> 97 98<p>To allow FrontPage authors to upload executables, set the NoExecutableCgiUpload configuration 99variable to zero (0).
