Title: primary permissions
Post by: del on March 08, 2003, 11:42:35 PM

Hi All,
I have installed SME 5.6 on a spare machine and my home network consists of 3 workstations, 1 x winME 1 x WinXP Pro and 1 x WinXP Home. I can access the primary and user directoies but I can't create a new folder or save to the Primary. I thought that all users were granted permission to use this directory. I also have SME 5.5 on my main server and never had any problems.Any ideas?
Thanks for your help
Del

Del,

The only user that has full access to the primary directory is admin. This has been the case for all versions of e-smith and SME.
You would need to login on the work station as admin using the SME admin password to get write access to primary.

Hi jon,
Does that mean that I can't grant access to various users for primary?
Cheers,

Easy way around is to use fake primary FQDN and configure your real domain name as virtual domain and point it to ibay.

Sorry for being ignorant, but what is FQDN? If you haven't already guessed I am new to this stuff!

FQDN stand for Fully qualified Domain Name. A domain name that you had registed with registra like netsol.com.

You might want to try redirecting your primary traffic to an ibay.  All it takes is a little code snippet in primary/html as index.html













This way you can assign group access without having to deal with FQDNs and permissions on the primary.
