If you are on a Unix based system, most likely each virtual hostwhere you want to use Webcat must be configured for it.The mystery is suffix mapping: A server simply looks for file extensions.In your server configuration you will find a list of all suffixes the serverhandles (.html .gif .tpl etc). And for each suffix is noted, what the serverhas to do with this type of files. If Webcat already runs on your machine,have a look at the line containing .TPL - you'll see that this suffix isreserved for Webcat. You can even invent your own suffixes and tell theserver what to do with them. They work only on your server, of course.What really happens is this:A Browser requests a file index.tpl - the server looks for the file on disk,sees the extension .tpl, scans his own suffix list and shakes his head No,this is not my Job. Go to Webcat first!Webcat takes the file, reads all the code, interprets all Webcat tags - andcrashes :) No, not everytime. The output is plain HTML and goes back to thewebserver who sends it to the browser.Peter-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .To unsubscribe, E-mail to: To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to Web Archive of this list is at: http://search.smithmicro.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
