When attempting to install the FrontPage extensions on a domain with access control files, FrontPage Manager finds these files and performs the following operations in order to complete the installation:
1. Renames the access control file to a temporary name.
Note that renaming the control access file will OPEN access to the directory associated with it, until install is complete.
2. An attempt to Turn FrontPage ON (install) is done again. If there are more access files, the second one is found and will be renamed temporarily. This will continue until there is no more access files and the FrontPage extensions are installed.
3. Returns the access control file(s) to its original name.This will re-SECURE access to this directory.
If the installation process is interrupted or cancelled for any reason before the last step is complete, one or more access control files will become orphaned. This means that they will not return to their original name. As a result, directories associated with those access files will no longer be secure and can be accessed without any restriction. In this case, the next time you access FrontPage Manager, you will be notified and prompted to either rename the orphaned access control file to its original name or delete it. The latter will result in a open access to the associated directory.
To install the FrontPage extensions on a domain with access control files, select the "Turn FrontPage ON (install)" radio button and click the "Next" button . Read the warning messages and click the "Next" button to continue. Enter a password in the "Enter a Password" textbox and click the "Next" button. The FrontPage Manager checks for the access control files and prompts you to rename them in order to complete the operation. Read the warning messages and click the "Next" button. This step will be repeated until the last control access file is found and renamed. At this point the extensions are installed and the result of operation will be displayed in the "Results" panel. Click the "Done" button to return to the "FrontPage Manager" main page.
