 Posted: Fri Jul 09, 2004 4:00 am Post subject: Another "Absolute Path" question |
 |
|
I'm trying to add a file upload script (perl) to my site. And it wants a "/datadir/" aka: a data directory, for the password file (password.txt)
Question 1.
what is the most secure place to locate this, since I have auto indexing enabled?
Question 2.
when the perl script asks for the "absolute path" for the "/datadir/" what should i tell it?
I have loaded Abyss Web Server in G:/Program Files/Abyss Web Server

| You should be able to put the Datadir totally outside any of your site paths - ie it is unaccessible from the internet. So for example, you could put it in 'G:/Program Files/Abyss Web Server/secure/datadir'. You would also use this as the absolute path. |

Okay the script seems to be working now. thankyou very much! but the program still does not work.
I'm using this http://www.ftls.org/download/cgi/eUpload.zip as a File up load program but it has trouble with the path for each user, it tells me "path don't exist"
does any one have experiance with this particular program?
