Re: [AOLSERVER] Symbolic links and directoryfile
As far as I know, all requested URLs must be referenced via the pageroot. If you create a URL or a filesystem softlink that has an absolute path like /home/scott/myweb/file, and pageroot is set to /myweb, the server won't follow the link. I've made that mistake before both in Apache and AOLserver. It's the proper behavior. If someone does get that to work, I'd say it's a bug that needs to be fixed. That doesn't mean, however, that AOLserver itself cannot see or use files referenced via the absolute path, just that it cannot server files via HTTP outside of the pageroot. For example, you can point to an SSL cert via nsopenssl in the nsd.tcl file via an absolute filesystem path. If pageroot and the filesystem's root are the same, then it doesnt' matter, but you'd not want to do this. In the case of a chrooted server, the absolute path will still not work if your chroot top level dir is different from your pageroot setting. Hope this muddies the waters. /s. Is this enforced in AS 3.x? Your note says the web server cannot follow..., which is only true if it is chrooted or there is some server code checking links (I think). Jim Hi Ellen, every web server has what's called a pageroot, the directory in the filesystem where the web pages are served from. If the web server is going to be able to follow a soft link, that softlink must be a relative softlink rather than a fully-qualified path. Basically, you don't want your web server to be able to access any files outside of it web space (i.e. pageroot). This is ok: ln -s dir/subdir softlink This is ok: ls -s ../dir/subdir softlink This is NOT ok: ln -s /home/scott/dir/subdir softlink In the last case, the web server cannot follow the path because it begins outside of its pageroot, UNLESS your pageroot *is* set to /home. Let me know if you're still having problems with this, /s. -Original Message- From: AOLserver Discussion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ellen Spertus Sent: Sunday, August 19, 2001 9:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [AOLSERVER] Symbolic links and directoryfile Thanks for the reply. Maybe you linked to a relative path incorrectly, or you linked to the absolute path rather than the path relative to the pageroot. I did link to an absolute path (/home/mailman/blahblah), which is not under pageroot. Is that not allowed? Ellen

[AOLSERVER] Question about the America Online Inc.

Pictures, why doesnt the pictures show up on the emails when u check your email on a web base internet service provider. AOL Phoenix location.
Re: [AOLSERVER] Question about the America Online Inc.
Hi Mike, You posted to the wrong group. This discussion forum is centered around AOLserver, which is an open-source web server. Try going back to aol.com and looking for help there. /s. -Original Message- From: AOLserver Discussion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mike Catlet Sent: Monday, August 20, 2001 7:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [AOLSERVER] Question about the America Online Inc.

[AOLSERVER] Which postgres driver should I use?
Hello everyone, I'm starting to learn more about aolserver, and found out there are two postgres drivers, one from the main aolserver site at: http://aolserver.com/archive/modules/nspostgres3_0.tar.gz and another on the openacs site: http://openacs.org/software.adp I'm probably going to be running an OpenACS site, so which one would be more appropriate? Also, I think I've found a bug in the nspostgres module that causes an ugly segfault. I'll try to isolate this in a bit if no one has seen this yet. Thanks for your help!
Re: [AOLSERVER] Which postgres driver should I use?
I just found out today from Lamar Owen that the postgres 2.0 driver at OpenACS is the latest and greatest. The nspostgres 3.0 at aolserver.com is *not* the latest. It really should be called nspostgres and should be hosted at SourceForge if possible (my opinion). Also, both should be looked at and appropriate stuff (if any) merged into one version. Anyone have any thoughts or comments on this? /s. -Original Message- From: AOLserver Discussion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Danny Yoo Sent: Monday, August 20, 2001 7:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [AOLSERVER] Which postgres driver should I use?

Re: [AOLSERVER] Which postgres driver should I use?
From what I can tell, there's no reason not to do what you suggest. But I couldn't find the nspostgres module in CVS at SourceForge, so it'll have to be created. The nspostgres 2.0 module can be downloaded as a tar file though. But there may be reasons why it's not being hosted there that someone can shed light on. /s. -Original Message- From: AOLserver Discussion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Dossy Sent: Monday, August 20, 2001 9:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [AOLSERVER] Which postgres driver should I use?

What is stopping us from just using the postgres driver at openacs.org as a drop-in replacement for what's in CVS as nspostgres? In other words, can I just bring nspostgres up to date by replacing it with postgres 2.0 in CVS? Is there a reason this hasn't been done? -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/
