Topic: Ibays

How does one go about specifying where (configuring) the files are to be found for a given Ibay? I created one via the e-smith manager, but can't figure out how to point it at anything. When I go to the URL of the domain and associated subdirectory, I get a statement that it is not configured yet. Help!?
Thanks a ton...

The files are in

/home/e-smith/files/ibays/IBAYNAME/cgi-bin
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/IBAYNAME/html
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/IBAYNAME/files

To access the html files:

http://www.yourdomain.com/IBAYNAME

To access the cgi-bin files:

http://www.yourdomain.com/IBAYNAME/cgi-bin

The location when connecting to an ibay with your browser using www.webserver.xxx/ibayname is the html directory.  If there are no html documents in this directory (which there are not by default when creating the ibay) you will get "This information bay has not yet been customized".  Depending on the client machine you are using to access the e-smith server (Linux, Mac or windows) you can copy files to the html directory to view using your browser.   Let me know what type of client machine you are using, and the setting you used to setup your ibay through the e-smith-manager and I can e-mail you some instructions on setting up ibays (if this would help?).
