why install slashcode

Posted on August 29th, 2002 in code by skip

problem: slashcode powered websites are rare indeed. wanna know why? damn not easy to install fresh mysql, perl, apache, mod_perl, etc and then realize that apache is chrooted… plan on either undooing that with a ‘httpd -u’ on startup or a few months of installing into apache’s chroot for fun

i ended up going with movable type… it’s easy to install and looks clean. all that it requires is perl, a database, and apache. check here for mysql database help

http read, https edit

no one likes ssl, let alone https. so the trick is to use http as much as possible. reading websites requires no encryption, but things should jump to ssl whenever passwords are involved.

how to disallow a directory for http, only allowing access via https?
