RE: Formulas.db + Users.db
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1997
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 12175
interpreted = N
texte = Paul ->Also, what is involved in changing the name of my users.db file, so that>people can't find it ?Are you just trying to prevent browsers from typing in a URL to the users.db file and viewing it? There are two fairly easy ways to do this:- Change the Creator code of that file (using ResEdit, or FileBuddy, or whatever) to 'WWW*' (that last character is omega, or option+z). WebSTAR will never serve files with this Creator code.- Set up a suffix mapping for .db with an Action of CGI or ACGI; WebSTAR will report Unable to launch ACGI Application when this file is requested.Either of these two methods will keep your Users.db file safe from prying eyes, though it will still be usable by WebCatalog.Hope this helps,Marc EagleStarNine Technologieshttp://www.smithmicro.com/
