This article was previously published under Q198119

SYMPTOMS

When you install the FrontPage Server Extensions to an Apache 1.3.0 Web server, the following error message appears during the installation:

Cannot open "/usr/local/apache/conf/srm.conf": no such file or directory.

CAUSE

The path above is not a valid path by default.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, add the following lines to your Httpd.conf file:

   ResourceConfig   /usr/local/apache/etc/srm.conf
   AccessConfig    /usr/local/apache/etc/access.conf

where /usr/local/apache is the ServerRoot for your system.

MORE INFORMATION

When you attempt to install the product using fp_install.sh, the Srm.conf file is not found by Fpsrvadm.exe (in the install server block, around line 1780).

Httpd.conf, Access.conf, and Srm.conf must all reside in the same directory.
