Server Error: Can't Open srm.conf

[Charlies Daughter]

I am runnig FP 2000 at home and 2002 at work. Both computers are set to have
Windows do Automatic Updates and both computers did a Service Pack 2 update
recently.

Yesterday I attempted to publish some pages and received this message - on
both computers:

Server Error: Can't Open srm.conf No such file or folder

I spent 55 minutes online "chatting" with a MS Professional yesterday only
to have him tell me at some point that he wasn't experienced in this and I
would have to contact another professional at Microsoft! Then, he couldn't
find the information of who I should contact and how, but said he would email
it to me - which he did not.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Well, I seem to have found a "solution" but don't know what to do with it and
perhaps someone out there can help this dummy (me!). Here's what I found in
a Microsoft bulletin:

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.

That's a job for your hosting company.

Are you the administrator for the Unix box hosting your web site? If not,
then pass the information to the administrator.

My Unix server does not have either of these files.
