SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
 
Sever Root Directory The directory where the web server (not the web documents) is installed. If you are changing the installation directory for your web server, you must change this directory name. When changing your Server Root Directory, keep in mind the following:
  • If your WebSite Director (WSD) installation is installed within a user account (instead on a global "all-server basis") in an ISP-based environment, the Server Root directory may be same as the Document Root directory. It may be located in, or as a subdirectory of, the "public_html" directory that is assigned to your account. 
  • Most Server Root directories will have a cgi-bin sub-directory, where most CGI scripts or programs are installed.
      Note: Some web servers will only allow CGI scripts or programs to be run from the cgi-bin directory. If your web server is configured in such a way, your WSD software must be installed in or under the cgi-bin directory.
Document Root Directory The root directory where all of the server's web pages are stored. If you are changing the location of your web server (see above), note the following items:
  • If your WSD installation is on an ISP-based shared web server, the Document Root directory may be called "public_html" (also read the note under Server Root Directory).
  • Most web servers will only allow public access to web pages in and under the Document Root directory.
      Note: For this reason the WSD Support directory, which contains the header and button image files and help pages used in most WSD screens, must be a sub-directory of the Document Root directory 
Working Directory The directory for the portion of your web server that WSD maintains. It is used to construct fully-qualified Universal Resource Locators (URLs) to the pages maintained by WSD. 
  • If WSD has been installed to maintain your entire web site, the Working directory: box displays a slash ("/" or "\", depending on the server operating environment).
  • If your WSD installation has control of only a portion of a web site, the Working Directory: box displays the name of the root directory for that portion of the web site controlled by your WSD installation (for example: "/marketing").
Support Directory The top-level directory where all of the support files used by WSD are stored. This directory contains the header and button image files, and help pages used in most WSD screens. It must be a subdirectory of the Document Root directory. 
  • This directory should not contain any files other than the WSD support files.
Template Directory The directory that is parent to 2 directories created by WSD during installation,  named "layout" and "editlayout." These sub-directories are used to store Page Layout and Edit Layout templates, respectively.
Default Edit Online Image Directory The default directory(s) for the images to be used by the EditLive! WYSIWYG Online Editor to create or edit a document when there is no default image directory assigned to the document's own directory. Note: Multiple directories must be separated by a "comma" (,). Be sure to include the Working Directory name in the directory path entered here. See Directory Properties. Also see the EditLive! Insert Images Help.
Image Upload Directory The directory path entered here (only one allowed) is used as the default for creating lists of images uploaded from your local computer during online WYSIWYG editor sessions. WSD looks first in Directory Properties to see if an Image Upload Directory has been designated. If none is designated on that screen or this screen, an error message displays when a user attempts to upload an image.
Dynamic Content Preview Directory  The directory where requests that reference dynamic content from your third-party software (i.e., Cold Fusion or active server pages) are temporarily stored during view and preview within WSD.
Password File The file that contains the user names and passwords for the users validated to use WSD. This file should be in or under the web server's "cgi-bin" directory to prevent direct access to the file by a web browser.
Mime Types File The file that contains the list of valid MIME types and the associated file extensions for the web server. It should point to the MIME Types file that is configured for your web server. If a MIME types files does not exist in the directory you specified, WSD will install one for you. 
Activity Log File The file that contains log entries for all activity that occurs in WSD. This file should be in or under the web server's "cgi-bin" directory to prevent direct access to the file by a web browser.
URL Prefix Some installations, specifically many Internet Service Provider (ISP) installations, place the Document Root directory under a User Home Directory as a method of separating access to each user's web content from that of other users. To access files in that home directory, a URL Prefix (such as "/~username" or "/username") is sometimes required at the beginning of every URL. Because WSD generates URLs to access its support files, this field should be set to any URL Prefix (without a trailing "/") needed to access documents under the User Home Directory. If no URL Prefix is needed, this field should be left blank.
File Permissions for new files If the web server is running WSD as a different user than your Unix login user ID, and you want to be able to update files in the Working Directory outside of WSD, click the appropriate Read and Write checkboxes to assign permissions as follows:
  • Owner - assign Read and/or Write file permissions to the "File Owner UID" displayed above.
  • Group - assign Read and/or Write file permissions to the "File Owner GID" displayed above.
  • Other - assign Read and/or Write file permissions to all other users who are not the UID or GID owner.
If you have the proper permissions, you may change the File Permissions for this document by checking the Read, Write, and Execute boxes beneath the Owner, Group, and Other columns. If you do not have permission to change the permissions on a file, the permissions are displayed as textual "X"''s instead of checkboxes, and cannot be modified.
