[gbd-dev] Use of Gubed in ~home/public_html

[Brett S. <tec...@se...>]

All,

I am working on a Fedora FC3 system running the latest patches.  I am
working in my home directory, so that I access files in
~home/public_html via http://localhost/~home.  I was able to get Gubed
working by creating a soft-link under the Gubed scripts directory back
to ~home/public_html.

I am looking for a more workable long-term solution, which as far as I
can tell, might require changes to StartSession.php.  I'd like to see a
general enhancement or methodology, as it would be great to install
Gubed once and allow all developers to utilize the environment.

In my index.php, I've created two hyper-links to my target script, so
that I can start it with and without Gubed:

<a href="test.php">Test Normal</a>

<a
href="/gubed/StartSession.php?gbdScript=/gubed/home/subdir/test.php">Test
Gubed</a>

What I'd really like to do in the second case is more like:

<a href="/gubed/StartSession.php?gbdScript=~home/subdir/test.php">Test
Gubed</a>

but doesn't work as it looks like StartSession.php attempts to prepend
the script with an absolute path.

Even better would be something like:

<a href="/gubed/StartSession.php?gbdScript=test.php">Test Gubed</a>

as there is a subtle issue here that requires specifying a full path, as
there is no memory as to the current working directory.  Normally
scripts chain to each other from the same path, which I think might be
doable if StartSession.php didn't force the issue.

Any advise or simplified methodology greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brett
