Thank you. This looks like it will probably suit our needs quite well for the time being. I'll investigate further on my own at this point, though if any more informative replies come through I'll of course learn from them as well. Dr. Hipp's series of suggestions have, of course, also been informative for me, and while I do intend to expand capabilities to the point where a separate webserver (probably nginx) is involved for some purposes as described in one of his replies, for now I just need something quick, effective, and secure to get some projects underway. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
