Fixed search SSI

  • Learned something new. It turns out that my search page hadn't been including the searchform from the FDSE templates directory. I hadn't uploaded that version, yet. I couldn't include it because FDSE defaults to including a .htaccess that denies access to everyone. I thought since SSI was done on the server that it would be able to see down into the templates directory. But it turns out that it uses the same permissions as the current browser client. So, I had to add < Files searchform.htm> allow from all </Files> to let my search page include it.
  • Meanwhile, I've been battling with my webhost about a bug they introduced a few weeks ago. It's corrupting the log files. Me and another user on the forum have verified that they've introduced a call to one of the printf-family of functions. But tech support obstinately insists that there's no bug. It's incredibly frustrating.
  • Making a 403 page (access denied) to go along with protection of search engine indices
  • Blocked access to searchmods, too
  • Checking everything in. Been too long since I did that
  • Gonna back everything up
  • The entire JCI Subversion repository is only 8 meg when exported
  • Couldn't figure out how to simply copy Documents & Settings. Some files are in use. Used Windows Backup. It wrote 1.9 gig to the DVD in about 21 mins. Wow
  • PassTheShareware backup page
  • Trying Argentum Backup. I like that it stores the files in a standard Zip file. And it's cheap
  • Looking at Syncback Hub which is free.
  • Is way too slow.
