Leveraging Frontier 9 on OSX for education purposes has been an adventure in frustration for two reasons. First, the lack of admin documentation for OSX is a big no no. Second, The website for Frontier on OSX hasn't been updated for over a year!
How about a K-Log on administrating Frontier 9/ Manila on OSX! Would it make good buisiness sense for Userland to update this information. Would more organizations jump on the weblogging band wagon if was explained how "easy" it is to leverage this great piece of software for a variety of
I should also get onto the topic of Apple's lack of support for educators on administering OSX for the Internet. Whew!
The other problem I had was trying to get port 8080 open by the CPS Wide Area Network administrator. He had seen some red flags show up after a security scan on the ports of a domain in question was performed. After making some adjustments, even the second test showed a couple of red flags. Since time was passing, and I had not settled on where to park the Frontier Server, I decided to keep on port 80 and get to working.
Maybe in the future Userland and Apple will get around to helping us OSX users configure OSX for the internet and get documents with screenshots from Userland on how to be a decent administrator. Christmas is coming soon. I hope I do not coal again on the OSX and Frontier front.
