[cobalt-users] FP2k extensions...

["Jason Aspinall" <jaspinall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okie dokie...would someone like to help me look in the right place to do
this?? :-

I have a little Qube2 running very merrily serving it's purpose dishing out
emails and supporting a few internal webpages for a few users.  The
following scenario is beginning to annoy me, as I do not know the location
of config files and what should be altered to achieve what I need.

I have my personal webpages hosted on my works server, you can see them
here:
http://mail.lion-breath.com/puma  It's on a subweb I've enabled using the
enable.subweb command issued here
\usr\local\frontpage\version\bin\enable.subweb puma username password.  The
whole thing works a treat as I *want* the whole world to be able to see it.
I can publish my pages directly from FP2k, and have server side extensions
running perfectly.

Now... what I also want to do is allow FP extensions to be run on some of
the internal webpages I certainly do not want the outside world to see, this
page for instance http://mail.lion-breath.com/users/banana/private.  If I
try to publish pages directly from FP2k, it complains that it cannot publish
to a subweb. Yet.. if I issue the command
\usr\local\frontpage\version\bin\enable.subweb banana username password, it
creates a subweb here http://mail.lion-breath.com/banana which is possibly
something I could live with, if I knew where I could look to restrict access
to the site over our LAN via private IPs (192.168.42.x) via the DHCP server.

I 'think' it has something to do with a "htaccess" file, but I'm not sure
which one to fiddle with, and what settings need altering so only IPs from
the range 192.168.42 are allowed.

Please...someone aid my quest... I'll buy you a pint ;)

Cheers
