Title: beyond "starter web site"?
Post by: swiver on May 11, 2002, 01:30:37 AM

which directory should I manipulate in sme 5+ in order to monkey around with my web page.  I want to move beyond the starter web site.

Also, I would really like to know the name of the specific file that is modified when I create my starter web site.  Can you help?

Thank you,

swiver

The directory would be /home/e-smith/files/primary/html/, and I'd expect the file to be index.html (been a while since I did that, though).

This brings up a question I have about the "primary" i-bay.  Can the attributes associated with this i-bay be manipulated through the admin gui or must you go to a shell?

The reason for my question is that I would like to allow a couple of non-UNIX-types manage the home web page located in the primary i-bay.  It appears that by default, this i-bay is viewable under network neighborhood but only with readable rights.  How can I change the rights of this ibay such that any member of a given group can make changes to the sub-directory?

Do I have to issue a unix command similar to the following?

# chgrp -R /home/e-smith/files/primary groupname

Note that I probally have the syntax all wrong but you get the point of what I am trying to do..

Comments on the management of the primary i-bay are greatly appreciated.  There is nothing in the docs (that I could find).

Regards,

Mark

I sure would like to know that too.

Got to be able to log on to the primary html dir, as a network drive in win2k.

Regards

A Win2k user called admin with the same password as the SME admin can map the primary dirs as network drives and write to them.


To give other users that ability too, I guess you should log in as root on the SME and type

chgrp -R [yourgroupname] /home/e-smith/files/primary/
chown -R [yourgroupname] /home/e-smith/files/primary/

I haven't tested this myself, but hope it helps.

It worked, but I cheated a bit :-)
I used Winscp ssh shell, with a NC-clone on top.

tnx for the help.
