texte = You could also turn on WebDNA for only the virtual host if that is mapped to the directory for your client. Usually each site is stored in a different directory. By default Apache will serve the page uninterpreted if WebDNA is not processing the page, but this is the right result. WebDNA will not be passed the page if Apache does not pass to the cgi, so it as if the page were a normal text. You could ban access to .tpl in other directories. Look at how WebDNA blocks .db access in its httpd.conf instructions. You could map the .tpl to an error page in other directories, but why do that? Just keep the .tpl files out of the other directories. Bill -----Original Message----- From: Kenneth Grome Sent: Fri, 15 Apr 2005 12:22:01 +0800 To: "WebDNA Talk" Subject: Restricting to one folder hierarchy on the entire server ... I have a client who wants to use WebDNA on the server, but the server admin guy wants to insure that WebDNA never serves .tpl pages from any other directory or domain on the server. In other words, he wants to make sure that the only .tpl pages that are ever served by WebDNA are the .tpl files in my client's folder hierarchy. Is this possible? My first thought was that the server admin guy might be able to configure a single sandbox for this user -- and that will be the only sandbox on the server. Then only the .tpl files in his domain will be served by WebDNA, and any other .tpl files on the server will be ignored. But they wouldn't really be ignored, would they? So now I'm wondering what will happen when a request is received for .tpl pages that reside in a different folder hierarchy on the server? 1- Will Apache serves those pages directly, or ... 2- Will WebDNA serve them WITHOUT interpreting the webdna tags in those pages, or ... 3- Will WebDNA serve them after interpreting the webdna tags in those pages, or ... 4- Will WebDNA generate and serve an error message after receiving the request for these "unauthorized" .tpl pages?
