I've never needed to use iBays outside of my local network, but now that I have my website running on my SME 5.6 box, I went and made a few of them available on the web. My understanding was that one could access an iBay by adding a /ibayname to the url, i.e.
www.stormdragonproductions.com/ibayname, correct? Well, I tried that, and nothing happened. (yes, I've got users created and passwords set)
Brief recap of my HTTP hosting: port 80 blocked by ISP, I've had to tell Apache to listen to port 7080, so my web redirection leads to my.ip.address.here:7080.
Bare with me, 'cause I'm just starting to get the hang of Linux... I read one of Dan Brown's (thanks for all the HowTo's, Dan!) files, so I decided to create a file called 94ibayalias in /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/ with simply
Alias /ibayname /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ibayname/html
Then I expand-template, restart httpd, and presto! They work...
Is it normal, then, that the login screen that appears for the "secured" ibays want the ibayname for "user" and ibay's pwd for "password"?
Thank you!
