Hi All,
I am renewing an older thread entitled, "VSPX, WebDAV, UI and Windows
Issues" that last had Mitko providing response on 4/24-4/25. That
earlier information has proven helpful, but not yet fully sufficient.
I anticipate there may be a number of these new posts as I again try to
work through the undocumented process of modifying ODS VSPX code.
First, where is a copy of the file ods_filesystem.vad? If I understand
correctly, this construct allows editing of physical files outside of
WebDAV. Moreover, I am curious how this construct may compare with the
physical file option discussed below.
Second, where are the ODS-wide template files found, and how can more be
added beyond the single default?
And, third, I have wanted to create a physical file instantiation of the
ODS VSPX upon which to make modifications. I followed the general steps
of using the Virtuoso Conductor UI laid out by Mitko:
1. Create a physical directory under HTTP ServerRoot that can be
seen from the INI file, HTTPServer section ServerRoot setting. The line
in my virtuoso.ini file is:
ServerRoot = ../vsp , which is found in:
[root]\virtuoso\var\lib\virtuoso\vsp
2. Put the VSPX pages (actually, all ODS pages and directory
structure under appsource) in this same physical directory (also
included the subdirectories), plus I added the pages that had been under VSP
3. Create a virtual directory (VD) using the Conductor UI :
'WebDAV&HTTP' -> 'HTTP Hosts & Directories'. The requirement for the
VD is pick 'localhost', add a 'New Directory', then of the three radio
buttons on the next screen choose Type-File System, and then click
'Next.' That brings up a third screen, on which you set 'Physical path'
to file system location created under Step #1 and "VSP User" to some
user ("dba") which has SQL permissions to SQL tables and objects used in
the active pages in the project.
Here is where things get weird for me.
I suspect I am missing a step or doing something wrong or not labeling a
directory properly.
So, again, if my sole purpose is to have all of ODS in a physical file
location for editing, how exactly do I set up that environment and then
commit the result back to WebDAV?
Thank you.
Mike
