Re: [OT] Dedicated Image Uploader/Server [/OT]

numero = 50607
interpreted = N
texte = Just map suffixes so webDNA handles .tpl and MGI handles .mgi. I only have MGI running on my Webstar box so I can't confirm that they will work together, but I believe someone on the MGI list said they were using both successfully. As for upload restrictions, MGI does require that you upload to one folder per region, but the administrator can define as many regions as they like. You might have to define a separate region for each client, but it takes about 0.7 minutes to do this.Dave Hurley Biology Department University of WashingtonOn Thursday, May 22, 2003, at 09:34 AM, Robert Wade wrote:> DAVE, Are you running this as a standalone with WebStar, or do you run > other apps on that box?
