| 154330 | 2003-06-22 23:25:00 | Can someone suggest software suitable to build a website which uses a login/password access to several text pages which I can update on a daily basis. Thanks. |

If you haven't, this is still possible if your server runs Apache (all this can be done with notepad :D). To test php, or asp, create the following text files: "test.php": <?php echo "This is a PHP script"; ?> "test.asp": <%="This is an ASP script"%> Upload the two files, and access them with your browser. If one of the shows just the output lines ("This is a NNN script"), that technology is available. Otherwise, you may be able to doit with apache configuration directives. Try the tests first and tell me what happens. To see what can be done with PHP, check out my site: http://editor.nfscheats.com/ |

| 154333 | 2003-06-23 00:59:00 | depens on what server you have access too and what security you want/need. one option might be a .htaccess file (do a google search for info) this is easy and works but can be hacked with out much work or skill. one option might be to write your own CGI and have it run over https then look up in a database. this can be a lot of work but if done right is very secure, if done wrong it can be a disaster. can you write your own html or do you want a "point and click" system to do the whole job? I have just finished doing a CGI password system for my website and I have done the CGI option but this is mostly because the whole site is in CGI. |

| 154334 | 2003-06-23 04:44:00 | If your web server doesn't support .htaccess or the other methods mentioned, you could always install a low-grade protection using javascript. It's quite easy, but remember it isn't suitable for any top secret stuff. Try this one: javascript.internet.com |

| 154335 | 2003-06-23 05:57:00 | gatekeeper is good but heres another one javascript.internet.com I believe this one encrypts the password, gatekeeper uses the name of page you wish to go to as the password ie password test would mean you wish to go to test.html As mentioned earlier java scripting password protection is ok but not extremely secure. |

| 154336 | 2003-06-23 07:27:00 | I use ASP, an MS Access database, and have several free options to encrypt the passwords with javascripts - MD5, MD4, SHA, and some other encryption thing. Not extremely secure, but it sure beats having to pay for SSL services, and does a reasonable job. | agent (30) | ||
