I have recently built a new webserver. dual pIII with FreeBSD 4.2, Apache 1.3.20 and have tried to install FP2000. I keep getting an error saying it cannot create _vti_pvt directory. Anybody have any suggestions? I have tried the microsoft site and not answer. Thanks for any help.

Can't say whether or not this will be any help. And you might have already tried it.

But...

It could just be permissions related, maybe try changing the permissions on the www root directory with chmod 777??

Then if that works it can alwaysbe locked down again later...

Try going here
http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/Fp2kserk.aspx, do the download and have a read, it's the full documentation on the FP server extensions resource kit and may help to answer the question (also have you got the latest versionof the extensions, or are you running the light version ?, not that that should make a lot of difference)

Has the install script managed to do anything (or is this the first thing it tries to do ? are you running as root (I assume if you can put a server together and install BSD, you ain't going to make that simple a mistake!))

If I think of anything else I'll append a comment
