[Cherokee] Cherokee Digest, Vol 2, Issue 4 - reply to Authentication (Taher Shihadeh)

[Viktor S. Kristensen]

Hi again!  Im really grateful for your help!  My goal is this:A remote user type in the ip of my server ->http://Myip:8008/ -> meets a login form(created by the Cherokee server -> the user types in a username and password -> the server checks the mysql database if it is correct -> if yes: redirect the user to the index file. If a user tries to ex. Type in http://Myip:8008/music/mp3/index.php the cherokee server would still require a username and password! Right now im pretty stucked though. after reading the page you provided I still have some questions.. Im not sure which type of rule I have to pick.. (directory, extension, regular extension or header_)  right now, the rule I’ve created looks like this: http://www.myupload.dk/showfile/724731b024.JPG/ under the security tab it looks like this: http://www.myupload.dk/showfile/724741b024.JPG/ When I press the “send request” button, nothing really happens.. uhm.. my database looks like this.. http://www.myupload.dk/showfile/724751b024.JPG/But I cant figure out where the password should be typed in the database.. oh jeez. This is my first time doing this.. I'm really green.. but I really want to learn this stuff..!  Maybe you could give me a little push in the right direction? .. I would love to give some feedback!!  It would be awesome if it worked like this scenario: I want to password secure my files on the server.  I pick the MySQL authentication.. I provide the following information: Password secure files in this directory: /opt/share/www/CherokeeMysql server:host : localhostport : 3306Unix Socket : /opt/bin/mysqlDB user : rootdb password: passdatabase : auth frontend login username: adminfrontend login userpassword : easymysqlauth_guide Then a script create the new database with the needed tables with the user and password etc.Next time I type the server IP(http://Myip:8008/) im required to provide a username(admin) and password(easymysqlauth_guide).  Again, thank you for your time and help! Im really looking forward to the next release of the Cherokee webserver. If there is anything I can do, reading the faqs providing feedback, please dont hesitate to say! The best regards from a excited Cherokee user,Viktor Kristensen.

Documentation seems to be the only downside I've read about in some reviews of Cherokee, and we're commited to fix that once and for all :)> > -- > taher at unixwars.com> http://unixwars.com> > > ------------------------------> > _______________________________________________> Cherokee mailing list> Cherokee at lists.octality.com> http://lists.octality.com/listinfo/cherokee> > > End of Cherokee Digest, Vol 2, Issue 4> **************************************
