zip file from way back.

I went to the AllManage site and sure enough they took away the downloads. The download URL kept going to a 404 Error.

But I just kept lopping off parts of the URL and ended up at a Unix directory listing and found all the AllManage downloads in this directory:

http://youthofamerica.org/prowebpages/cgi/allmanage_files_do_not_give_out/

Get them while you can. Not my fault they don't know to leave an index.html file in a directory. :)

Hahhaha.. wow..

Thanks but I'm waiting for Technics to finish "hacking" the already improved version.

what's all manage?

-Edward-
10-08-2000, 05:16 PM
Allmanage - Is a simple cgi/mysql script that will allow you to run a fwp you could run a paid host from it but i would advise against it.

It allows your users to either make sites in an advanced editor or basic editor also allows them to upload files.

very similar to homefree at http://www.solutionscripts.com.

DynastyHost
10-08-2000, 05:30 PM
What's the ETA Technics? :)

teck
10-08-2000, 05:34 PM
fwp? So you can run a webhosting service within your current webhost service? and charge a small amount of money for it?

DynastyHost
10-08-2000, 05:40 PM
Most host will not let you do this. Some do! You might want to read ther policy before signing up.

Dumbness sets in ETA ?

estimated time of arrival...basically when do you expect to finish it.

-Edward-
10-08-2000, 06:29 PM
Not sure. i was hoping for late next week but thats looking less and less likely. I found another security hole today.

In my version i have removed the create sub-directorys. I did this for a security reason but i could put it back in i guess, Wouldnt advise it though.

The layout im still debating whether to leave it in tables or change it completly.

Anyones ideas would be welcomed. I.E Features , layout etc etc.

DynastyHost
10-08-2000, 06:35 PM
will there a big security hole if you leave the create sub-dir in? I think users would woudl that because their site will more more organize.. instead of having all files in 1 dir.

-Edward-
10-08-2000, 06:46 PM
There is a risk if you run it from your main directory. But if you give your users an addie like this yourdomain.co.uk/users/ there will not be a security risk. i was making my version for use in the main directory. i may however change my mind.

Well you could write a lil stealth redirection script, which changes the URL? so when the user types in
http://www.yourdomain.co.uk/name --> he would actually goto
http://www.yourdomain.co.uk/sites/name. I think this is also known as URL masking? :)

DynastyHost
10-08-2000, 07:07 PM
Yes, I think that having http://www.yourdomain.com/user is more attractive.

Kunal's ideal is good.. maybe we can do URL masking

teck
10-08-2000, 07:09 PM
can you set quotas and such?

DynastyHost
10-08-2000, 07:30 PM
TechNics, what's ur SN for Yahoo IM?

-Edward-
10-09-2000, 09:59 AM
DjSy2000 - Yahoo .....


Yes you can set quotas. You can also make indivdual quotas where 40 users might have 3mb and someone pays you to give them an extra 10mb you can do this without it changing the previous 40 users.

Stealth idea - I'll consider that. I can however set it up so that it can create deeper subs but then i have to remove the up on level button as it somehow takes you into the main directory. I tried diffrent methods to stop that but it just would not work. Maybe if i tied it into the textbox rather than tables it would work.

I haven't installed AllManage but it seems like a very powerful program.

But what is wrong with it? Technics is writing a hack of it? Someone else mentioned security concerns. What are the shortcomings with AllManage that I don't know about?

Can someone explain to me why I shouldn't be putting AllManage on one of my domains?

Thanks in advance,

Sean

Sean,

As it's a good script all in all. But the owner did leave some big holes in the script that could cause you a big headache.

Although he had put in place a system to prevent people uploading illegal files it did not work. I know this because i tested it lol. Theres a part in the allmanage.pl script near the top which is supposed to block any file not listed in it. You have to edit it manually. He was supposed tobe in the new version allowing u to edit this from the admin panel. But guess he wont be making a new version.

I mentioned the part about running it from the main directory in an earlier post.

Theres a few other minor little bugs but they are in the admin script which i have fixed.

Hey technics, another thing you can do is make the users folder his root folder. I think apache lets one do this, so he wont be able to move up beyond the folder you specify. Try it out :)


Also, pls try and get FTP enabled. ;)

-Edward-
10-09-2000, 11:17 AM
FTP - I have been working on that. But its slightly confussing. i looked at homefree's ftp feature and tryed to get ideas from it but failed. so i installed a version of homefree to test it out. I put in the correct paths and did all the required work but it did not work.

So im not sure about how todo ftp but its a feature i want to add.

explain to me more about the root feature please i dont quite understand.

First, how are you creating the account? how are you doing the authentication and stuff???

-Edward-
10-09-2000, 11:31 AM
It's automatic. but it can be done on admin approval.

kunal
10-09-2000, 11:37 AM
But how is the automatic thing happening?? as in, how is it creating the folders and how is authenticating the user trying to access it?

Is this program reliable for someone looking to give away free space long-term? Or should anyone serious about such a venture use HomeFree? :)

Technics, I've download the script to see what improvements I can make. If you'd like to send me what you've done so far (and any tidbits from Home Free), it would save me alot time--maybe duplication as well. I would like to see what I can add to it.

You say it's supposed to have an FTP feature but it's not working? Anything else I should know?

Won't get to it till late next week but sounds interesting. I already have a script that (I think) provides the same as AllMange, but it is set for 3 (and only 3) pages. Didn't want to get into the MegaByte area but I don't mind providing people 3 Free pages.

Can homefree be used by anyone on their site or would you have to have a dedicted server?

i have done some work on the allmanage script today. i lost my first hack somehow.

I have made it secure to offer yourdomain.com/user. I did it using javascript which i hope is secure enough. i know someone out there will be able to find a hole in it though.
