WARNING:This information is preliminary and has not been confirmed or tested by Microsoft. Use only with discretion.



SYMPTOMS
When you recalculate the hyperlinks on a Microsoft FrontPage Web that resides on an Apache server, the procedure takes an unexpectedly long time to process and complete.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if there are memory restrictions on your Web server. For example, memory throttling on the server is set at 18 megabytes (MB).



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, do either of the following:
 * Remove the memory restrictions on the server.

-or-
 * Increase the memory throttling setting on the server. For example, if memory throttling on the server is set at 18 MB, increase the value to 36 MB.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, follow these steps:  Modify the Timeout value in the main server configuration file, httpd.conf.

Increase the Timeout entry from the default value of 300 seconds to 600 seconds. If this does not resolve this issue, try increasing the value to 5,000 seconds. Add the following lines to the FrontPage configuration file, Frontpg.cnf:

CacheMaxInclude=16 CacheMaxImage=16



Note that after you make these adjustments, hyperlinks may still require some time to recalculate due to the memory restrictions on the server. However, the change in the timeout value will keep the process alive.



MORE INFORMATION
Use the Recalculate Hyperlinks command when you want to update or rebuild the hyperlinks between pages in your FrontPage Web. Recalculating hyperlinks is a CPU-intensive process because every page in the Web must be parsed. Recalculating hyperlinks is not normally necessary during FrontPage Web authoring, because the hyperlink map maintained by FrontPage is automatically kept up-to-date when you create and save pages in FrontPage. However, if you move or rename pages in a FrontPage Web using a mechanism outside of FrontPage, such as FTP, Windows Explorer, or UNIX file system commands, you may want to use the Recalculate Hyperlinks command to update hyperlinks and reestablish links.
