Files and Permissions on Apache
| Archived content. No warranty is made as to technical accuracy. Content may contain URLs that were valid when originally published, but now link to sites or pages that no longer exist. |
This appendix lists the permissions settings for the directories and files that contain the Microsoft® FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions. The initial installation of the FrontPage Server Extensions will install the files and directories listed in this appendix. As virtual servers are added, the appropriate files will be copied from these directories. This appendix reflects the file and folder permissions that are set by the fp_install.sh script.

Content area file and directory permissions
The file list below shows the locations and permissions for the FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions on a UNIX server when fpsrvadm.exe is run with the recommended umask of 022 by the administrator "kelly", a member of group "Volcano". The permissions do not allow group write access. They are 644 (rw-r r ) for files and 755 (rwxr-xr-x) for directories. To generate any other set of permissions, set your umask accordingly before running fpsrvadm.exe.

For maximum security, files created in Microsoft FrontPage are created with a umask of 022. To allow files to be created with a custom umask, edit and recompile the stub executables, shtml.exe, author.exe, admin.exe, and fpcount.exe. The source for these files is in /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/srcs/fpsuid.c. To create a custom umask:
Edit fpsuid.c, changing the umask as desired.
Compile the file once for each of the stub executables.
Replace the stub executables with the new ones.
