Hi,
We have installed and are running Webinator 5.1.75-Unix-wo/plugin successfully. It took less than an hour to install, configure and run. I can't believe how easy it was. Kudos to the Thunderstone development team.
But that's not why I'm here.
Most of the data we have indexed is private data that is only accessible to students of our organization. We use .htacess with apache to control that. However, I also need to do the same thing to prevent access to the search engine URL itself. The cgi-bin directory can't be protected with .htaccess (at least I don't think so), so users can still go to http://ourdomain/cgi-bin/texis/webinator/search and do a search. They will see the results, but can't follow any of the link.
How can I prevent access to that URL without breaking webinator?
Also, I have one other question which isn't really related to webinator, but a side-effect. It created a webinator directory in our document root on the server. We use MicroSoft FronPage to create and manage the static HTML pages. When we try to publish the website (copy the file from the local PC to the web server), it complains that the webinator directory is not part of the web site and wants to delete the files. Does anyone know of a way to tell FrontPage to ignore a certain directory or files?
Thanks,
Kory
