The ones I listed are outside the web root and in fact in some cases
are local hard drives. On Mac OS X, you should be able to reference a
mounted external volume (called "external") like so: <boot volume>/
external
HTHs.

Thanks for the thoughts. I noticed that these are local volumes
and they
are in relation to the 4d folder. I do not need safe doc dirs when
serving
anything inside of the served "web" root folder.
I'll try the boot volume just to see if something can be served
outside the
root folder.
Have you tried this on external volumes ie. not the boot volume and
not the
web volume?

Subject: Re: [Active4d-dev] Virtual paths
Here is what one of my sites has:
safe doc dirs = <default>/images;<boot volume>/images;<boot volume>/
IMAGES;<default>/IMAGES
This database runs on many different sites so I find it necessary to
enable access to the different implementations of the images folder/
volume/harddrive.
I'm not sure if the code is Case sensitive so I have included
different cases just in case...
Hope this helps.
Michael.

Has anybody used the "safe doc dirs" and might share an example
with me. I
am hoping this works like virtual paths in IIS. I am currently
copying
files from another server to the "web" serving folder for display
to the
browser. This works fine but seems unnecessary if safe doc dirs
does the
trick. For example I set up a folder on the 4d server machine "C:/
temp"
which has all access granted. I have a gif file called paul.gif
inside of
it.
In active4d.ini I have the line:
safe doc dirs = /c/temp
I browse to this location:
http://qwsrv1:8080/temp/paul.gif or
http://qwsrv1:8080/4dcgi/temp/paul.gif and they all 404.
When I create an alias/shortcut to temp I don't get the 404
anymore, I
simply get a blank screen as if the serving was done.
I guess what I am looking for is an example of this.
4d 2003.8 windows 2003 server, active4d 4.0
