    Progress Report...

    Hi,

    Firstly, thanks to Chris for a really prompt response! I've been hard at work since, getting things going, so I missed out on all the good stuff from Jo and Andy in the meantime. Tsk tsk!

    I only have access to one PC and one server, so I've gone for the simple approach:

    1. I have a subdirectory protected using HTTP BASIC authentication (instructions at: http://www.euronet.nl/~arnow/htpassw...mentation.html) which contains the test shop. Note that I say protected, rather than secured, since HTTP BASIC can be brute-forced. I am prepared to accept the risk of this happening.

    2. I have a single cgi-bin (see Chris' comment above) and have modified my network settings accordingly. I've exported these settings (see Jo's comment) so that I can reference them later.

    3. I have uploaded my test site and I'm happy that this works OK.


    To Do List...
    1. Get the site ready for testing by my guniea pigs, then issue username-passwords.

    2. Create network settings for the live site.

    3. Test a live upload.

    4. Document change/test/release procedures in the form of a "flight checklist", paying particular attention to the need to select the correct network settings, so that I confuse myself!

    Thanks to the Community for the help so far!

    Cheers
    Neil
