ok, this is making sense. Do you recall how to configure the FreeBSD so it will define a preferred editor in the environment? As of now, it runs the default of vi, which I dispise,. I have ee and pico in my box, and generally run pico. Mike Jeays wrote: Kirk Bailey wrote: ok, I read man

directory structuer for a web server

2002-10-05 Thread Kirk Bailey
where should one properly place the directory for the web pages in a web server, and is there a standard name for it? I have a box with several domains in it, so I created /www off of root, ant /www/www.foo.foo for each domain under /www but I suspect this is not a standard solution. Any advice?

Re: directory structuer for a web server

I can indeed imagine the aspirin bill. With my approach, it is systematic, each domain has it's own cgi-bin directly under it's web dir, and the server will not permit access to anything other than the root directory for that domain, and it's cgi-bin. However, now I am writing a application for

I am using FreeBSD and sendmail to work on the internet. Recently I wrote a program to process a incoming email and append it to a file in it's own directory. I have a complete email in a file in the directory for testing, and I fired it up from the command line prompt using input redirection to
