Using FrontPage with SubServers

What are subservers ?

The subserver module allows you to setup lots (e.g. thousands) of servers with the same configuration settings, but with different document trees. Subservers are fully supported by the FrontPage module, each subserver document tree can have its own root-web and files owned/editable by a unique user. This means that each subserver will appear as a completely separate webserver to the FrontPage client software. Each subserver can hold multiple subwebs and a client with access to one subserver will not be able to modify the files of another subserver.

How do I add FrontPage support to one ?

If you have the subserver module enabled, the installation script as described for virtual servers will also prompt you for the name of the subserver to install FrontPage support for after asking for the name of the virtual server. Support is added to the specified subserver.

If you are specifying the details on the command line then add the option

--subserver=<sitename>
to specify a subserver.
