[Ids-devel] 3 items: mod_perl, jpegttran system call, .htaccess

[Kevin P. <pfe...@iu...>]

Hello ids-dev list!

Ids is up and running here on my test server at IUB; I hope in the next 
couple weeks to set up a 'production' version for our students. A couple 
questions, but first a thanks for your advice and help (as well as the fix 
posted for the search function in 0.82).

1. mod_perl

Someone mentioned having tried this with some success. Index.cgi was kept as 
normal cgi. He had a problem with the resized images. Has anyone else 
looked at using mod_perl? Any advice?

2.  jpegtran system call

It fails with a 256 error. I assume the problem is file permissions. Can 
anyone tell me, when I try to rotate an image, does ids use the original 
image and then try to save it in the image-cache? Or does it try to replace 
the original image?

3. .htaccess

I'm using this to restrict access to the gallery and to the admin script. I 
think one could use this to restrict access to specific albums as well (a 
desired feature I think). I'll report back after I've experimented further.

4. One last bonus question (I could have sent these separately, but think of 
this as the 'digest' version): error log

I have no error log in ids. Do I need to set logging/debugging somewhere or 
just touch a new file ('error.txt')?

Thanks again and I wish you "a good slide into the new year"! (as one says 
in Germany)
