Actually, Eric assumed that I was reporting on his "small group" setup - but I was really talking about the original j7 distribution that I run on my Linux mail/web server. My " ) & problem report" was for using the initial distribution. It also fails in the facility Eric describes below. I continue to be surprised that it works OK on a desktop Safari but doesn't on iPod Safari...
I run the j7 instance in a shell that has limited access to the general system. I require that remote (or local) users use the explicit port number assigned by that host shell. I have the luxury of a hardware firewall that blocks "port scans" from the internet, so that provides reasonable isolation from "bad guys". If anyone in the forum is interested in poking at it, I would be happy to disclose the current port in a private email exchange with the understanding that they would keep it quiet (as I was trying to do with Eric's new small group of alpha testers). I have not spent any energy on making separate facilities for users, so all the stuff done there is visible to all the users -- at least for the duration of a particular task. Part of why I did this is to see if things were reasonably stable. They do seem to be. I see no reason why you couldn't do this on a Mac with Apache, but I am using Linux. - joey At 16:30 -0500 2010/02/17, Eric Iverson wrote: >Currently Jsoftware is hosting J7 for a small group of initial users.
