I still can load any .tmpl file from the server that contains [protect admin] and it loads without a hitch. All other [xxx] tags seem to be working. The user.db contains the needed information. What gives?? I have not tried the PI because it is not an option for me. The SSL server runs in the same folder. I need to be able to run the cgi from the cgi-bin folder to restrict cgi's. AAAA,0000,0000Could someone from StarNine/PCS give me the procedure to run from the cgi-bin? What files need to be where? How should the .pref files be set? How do you get [protect] to work? Must all .tmpl files be run from the WebCatalog folder? I need to be able to serve differant sites from seperat folders. I need to allow access to differant 'groups' at each site. I have read the docs and the do NOT say anything about this. The money I paid for this gets less atractive all the time.
