Webserver Directories
pasword protecting a apache webserver directory on a win xp pro computer?
ok, My Computer's OS is Windows XP Professional SP3 running Apache (newest version)
I have access straight to about 40 gb of music and i don't want anyone to access it unless they have a user name and password, so i want to password protect it just for me, and my family and friends to access, remeber it's a windows computer!!!!! not Linux!
The .htaccess file in the directory works on both windows and Linux. You can set the user name and password from there.
Not perfect security, but kid-sister secure. Will keep out inadvertent snooping.
what is webserver root directory?
The meaning of "root" directory changes depending on the webserver you use. For the most part the root directory would be the directory that you installed the web server to.
An example would be: In Windows, using the Apache web server, the root directory might be C:\Program Files\Apache\
Some web servers label the root directory as the directory where the files to be hosted are located. The location changes from server to server, but most will initially keep it under the install directory.
An example of this would be (using the same setup above): C:\Program Files\Apache\htdocs
The directory that is used to serve files from will typically be 'htdocs', 'www', or 'http'.
how can I find the root directory to my webserver www.dabombsite,cim?
Depends on what webserver you are running. If you are running apache webserver then the root is /var/www/...
Check the documentation of the webserver to find out the root directory.
Image location on webserver? How do I find it...?
This is going to sound stupid but I have this banner making program and I made the banner, and when i was done one of the options was to make an html code and my website that the banner was going to link to, image file name, and where I got confused was where they asked for the image location/or directory on your webserver... I'm somewhat new to html. I just want to know where can I find the image location on my web sever because I don't know what that means. =/
hi,
you can click on image with right button then choose properties...
you will see Address (URL)

How can I create an .htaccess file on a Mac that will keep the .htaccess so I can upload to my webserver?
I am trying to upload an .htaccess file to my webroot directory using Fetch and Mac OSX but OSX won't let me create a file with a "." at the beginning off the file name without making it an invisible file therefore making it impossible to upload to my host server...sorry I am a newb at web stuff and I have a site uploaded that won't work with domain name unless you type in the exact file name you are trying to get in the URL.
Eg. www.webaddress.ca - comes up with a virtual directory error even though I have an index.html file in the main directory but if I type in www.webaddress.ca/index.html it will load my page fine.
HELP! I need to go live in a couple of days and this is making me nuts!
I have now uploaded the .htaccess file BUT my site still will work, if I go the the exact URL I get a "Directory Listing Denied. This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed."
ARGH!
Any ideas?
Place the following in your .htaccess file
DirectoryIndex index.html

Is it possible to find all websites registered to a single e-mail?
This may be a stupid question....Is there some sort of online database w/ a search engine or directory that allows you to see what websites that e-mail is registered with, even just with the webserver that provides your e-mail??
There are many finger tools you can use, but the ACTUAL problem is that many people purposefully leave blanks and wrong information.
Try this freeware:

To use the finger tool enter the User@Host in the Finger Input box and press the button.
How can I find all webpages within a website that show a specific image from that site?
Lets say there is a website with 500 webpages. Four of them show the same image x located within a directory called IMAGES, ie. they all contain this HTML-code: 
How can I find all the webpages that show image X?
p.s. I don't have access to the files on the webserver, I can only access the pages via a browser etc.
The best way I( can think to do this is to download google tool bar, it has an option to search this site, then search for the said phrase in the particular site.
I have not tryed this myself but have used the site search to check up on competition and it works fine
I have a few PHP encrypting questions, some using crypt(). Also can I use an .exe in a webform?
First, how secure is the PHP crypt() function? How one might go about decoding it? I am asking because I want to encrypt a PHP file and distribute it but I want to know what might be a good balance between having things uncomplicated for the user and but have security. For example I am trying to keep it to a minimum of having the user have to copy different files to different directories on their webserver as it I know might be very annoying for them. However I don't want to have my PHP file decrypted. Again to the question of how one might decrypt it anyways? Is there a better alternative to the crypt() function?
Also I am wondering if it is possible to create an .exe file for a webpage. then go ahead and link it to the php webform? Meaning in the php webform (or another languaged webform if need be), can I have it where a person enters a value and then have it go into the .exe? Then compute it and then give the anser back to php?
Thanks,
Brian
