Re: [Webware-discuss] cvs update: MakeAppWorkDir ...

[Jeremiah B. <jer...@em...>]

I've installed Webware for the first time today.  Once before 
Robin's patches and now with the latest CVS once again.  I was 
excited at the thought of not having to give the 'nobody' write 
access to the WebKit directory.  There still seems to be a few 
problem areas.

Admin and Testing contexts still need write permission within 
the WebKit directory

Using OneShot.cgi copied as index.cgi:

http://localhost/os/index.cgi/  works as expected
http://localhost/os/ results in an endless redirect loop resulting in:
http://localhost/os////////////////////... until you press Stop 
in the browser.

This was not happening before Robin's patches.
