Author Are my Extensions installed properly?

Howdy,

I'm moving to a new web host and am not sure if they have the FP stuff setup properly. When I log
into the cpanel area and isntal the FP extensions I get this:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Attempting to install FrontPage extensions...
Note: Local version of Apache must use the FrontPage Apache patch.
Starting install, port: 80.

Created: 24 Mar 2004 23:32:24 -0000
Version: 5.0.2.2623
Server extensions already installed on port 80.
Reverting to upgrade.

Starting upgrade, port: 80.

Created: 24 Mar 2004 23:32:24 -0000
Version: 5.0.2.2623
Chowning Content in service /.
Port 80: Upgrade completed.
Upgraded Version: 5.0.2.2623.

Starting chown, port: 80, web: "/".

DocumentRoot: "/home/kelemvor/public_html"
Setting Password
Frontpage passthough auth enabled!


FrontPage extensions are currently: installed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

However when I publish I get an error saying the certain pages won't work because the FP Extensiosn
are not installed. Then I get an error saying:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following pages in your web site contain link bars or navigation bars that use new formatting
options. They will not display properly because the server youa re publishing to does not support
these features.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It then goes on to list about every page on my website.

What might be wrong? My site is currently at www.eventartistry.net if you want to see the various
pages.

Your web server is running Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) on Linux.

Some of the FrontPage features are not supported by UNIX-based web servers.
You can find a lot of information about FPSE on UNIX at http://www.rtr.com.

I looked at that site but didn't see the version numbers that matched the ones I posted in the log. Are Link Bars a known thing that is not compatible in that version of the Extensions for Unix? If so I'm not going to be able to use this host and will h
ave to find a different one I guess.

Thanks for the info.

FrontPage extensions version 5.0.2.2634 are installed on your server and are
functioning.

Any FrontPage features that require extensions should function normally.
Make sure you publish using http://www.eventartistry.net/ or
http://eventartistry.net/ instead of ftp://

I'm actually trying to publish via IP address so I can make sure everything works before I change the Names Server info to actually move my site there. I"ll have to dbl check that it didn't put ftp in there.

I also tried publishing using a temporary URL such as http://www.host.com/~username but it didn't like that very much. I'll try it again tonight and see what happens.

If the name server hasn't been changed to point to your new IP address, the only
option you have is
publishing to the IP address via ftp. However, FrontPage won't publish all of
the files necessary to run features requiring the FrontPage extensions.

Publish to ftp://numerical IP/public_html
You will be prompted for a username and password.

Change the name servers
As soon as the change has propagated, republish using http://domainname.com
