Re: [Ids-devel] Now What?

[Rick P. <ric...@sa...>]

Piete/Ashley,

I read both of your e-mails and I can add a little more to the
discussion.

I can not, due to security reasons, execute a .cgi (or any other
executable file) outside of my .cgi-bin.  So that means that I can't
move the entire app outside of .cgi directory and use it.

From what I understand IDS must be executed as a "package".  Meaning all
files must reside in one parent directory called "IDS" or what ever.

So that leads me to ask the following questions that hopefully you guys
can answer:

 - Can the IDS application package be split apart, easily, so that only
the necessary executable files are located in the .cgi directory?
Furthermore, can this be done without manually editing the various .cgi
files?

 - If I am able to "split" the application apart, which files would need
to remain in the .cgi directory?  Just .cgi files or are there other
files config files, etc..  that would need to stay?

I am curious how most others get this thing up and running?  Do they
have problems similar to mine?  I am sure that the vast majority of IDS
users are running the app in a shared web hosting environment that is
similar to mine.

As far as the "HowTo" you spoke of.... I would be willing to do the
HowTo Installation Documentation after I get this thing up and running.

I might be a good candidate because of all of the issues that I have
been having with my shared hosting environment.  Also, if you are
interested... I would be willing to host an IDS forum on my message
board so that issues can be more easily discussed.  I have just gotten
the thing up and running and it is in great shape.  It is a phpBB board
with lots of cool options.  There are no posts to the board yet because
I haven't linked it to my site yet.  You can go to
http://www.ricknlisa.com/boards/ and have a look if you want.

Have a great day and thanks for all of the help you guys have been
providing.

Thanks,
Rick
